Selling by owner
How for sale by owner works in Australia.
For sale by owner (FSBO) means you sell your home yourself, without paying an agent’s commission. It’s legal in every Australian state and territory. You still need a conveyancer for the contract and, to reach most buyers, a licensed platform to list on realestate.com.au. Expect to pay $800 to $2,000 for the listing instead of $21,000 in commission on a $1,000,000 home.
What for sale by owner costs
| For sale by owner | Commission agent at 2.1% | |
|---|---|---|
| Listing on realestate.com.au and Domain | $785 to $1,995 (Unreserved Lite: $900) | Included in commission |
| Commission on a $1,000,000 sale | $0 | $21,000 + GST |
| Conveyancer | Needed either way | Needed either way |
| Photos | Optional, from $215 | Usually charged as marketing |
| Who runs inspections and negotiates | You, or a campaign manager with Unreserved Plus | The agent |
Commission at 2.1% before GST, the conservative end of a 1.8% to 3.5% range. See agent commission rates by state.
For sale by owner sites in Australia
The main FSBO platforms all get your home onto realestate.com.au and Domain. The difference is what happens after the listing goes live.
| Platform | Price (checked 31 Oct 2026) | After you go live |
|---|---|---|
| For Sale By Owner | From $799 | Buyer calls forwarded to you |
| Buy My Place | $785 / $995 / $1,995 | Support at $175 an hour |
| PropertyNow | $999 | You run opens and negotiate |
| Unreserved Lite | $900 | AI Inspection Agent answers buyers 24/7 |
| Unreserved Plus | $6,900 ($2,000 up front, $4,900 on sale) | A campaign manager runs the sale |

Selling for sale by owner in Australia, step by step.
Selling without an agent is legal in every Australian state, and you don’t need a licence to sell a home you own. These five steps are the same wherever you are.
Step 1 of 5
Work out what your home is worth.
Buyers compare your price with recent sales nearby, so start there. Find 3 to 5 similar homes sold in the last six months.
Then set a price or range buyers will act on. Too high and buyers wait for you to drop it. A free valuation is the quickest start.
- Look at
- Sales from the last 6 months
- Cost
- Free valuation
Step 2 of 5
Get your legal documents ready before you list.
Every state has documents the buyer must see before they sign. A conveyancer or lawyer prepares them and runs settlement.
Book one first. Your listing shouldn’t go live until the documents are ready. The state tabs below show what yours needs.
- Who prepares it
- Conveyancer or lawyer
- When
- Before you advertise
Step 3 of 5
List where buyers are looking.
Most buyers search realestate.com.au and Domain. Those portals only take listings from agencies, so private sellers list through a licensed agency.
Unreserved lists your home on both for a flat fee. You keep control of the price, the buyers and the decision.
- Portals
- realestate.com.au + Domain
- Cost
- From $900, no commission
Step 4 of 5
Run inspections, then compare offers.
Reply to enquiries quickly. Run open homes and private inspections, and follow up every buyer within a day.
When offers come in, compare price, deposit, finance and settlement dates together, not just the number.
- Typical time
- 4 to 8 weeks to a signed contract
Step 5 of 5
Sign the contract, then settle.
Once the contract is signed, the buyer’s deposit is held in a trust account. Your conveyancer does the checks and the transfer.
You’re paid on settlement day. The date is whatever the contract says.
- Deposit
- Usually 10%
- Settlement
- 30, 60 or 90 days is common
Selling in your state
For sale by owner rules, state by state.
The steps don’t change, but the paperwork and the buyer’s cooling-off period do. Choose your state for what applies to you.
Victoria
Start with your Section 32.
Before a buyer signs, they need your Section 32 vendor statement. It covers title, mortgages, easements, zoning and outgoings. A conveyancer or lawyer prepares it.
From 1 October 2026, every Unreserved listing in Victoria also needs a Property Price Statement.
- Buyer must get
- Section 32, before signing
- Cooling-off

New South Wales
Get your contract ready before you advertise.
In NSW, your contract of sale has to be prepared before your home goes on the market. Start with a solicitor or conveyancer.
Buyers get a cooling-off period on a private sale. A 66W certificate from the buyer’s lawyer can waive it.
- Buyer must get
- Contract, before you advertise
- Cooling-off
- 5 business days
- Homes listed now
- 13
Queensland
Know what you need to disclose.
Queensland’s seller disclosure scheme means most sellers must give the buyer a Form 2 disclosure statement and the required certificates before they sign.
Getting these organised early is the most important part of preparing to sell privately in Queensland.
- Buyer must get
- Form 2 + certificates
- Cooling-off
- 5 business days
- Homes listed now
- 12
Western Australia
Look beyond the offer price.
In WA, sales commonly use an Offer and Acceptance contract, and a settlement agent usually handles settlement.
There’s no cooling-off period, so finance clauses, inspection conditions and settlement dates matter as much as the price.
- Buyer must get
- Offer and Acceptance
- Cooling-off
- None
- Homes listed now
- 7
South Australia
Get familiar with your Form 1.
South Australian sellers need a Form 1 vendor’s statement covering title details, outgoings and other disclosures.
Preparing it with professional help gives buyers what they need. Buyers then get a short cooling-off period after signing.
- Buyer must get
- Form 1 vendor’s statement
- Cooling-off
- 2 business days

For sale by owner
What for sale by owner means in Australia.
For sale by owner, often shortened to FSBO, means the owner sells the property without paying a real estate agent’s commission. The owner sets the price, talks to buyers and decides which offer to accept. The legal side doesn’t change: a conveyancer or lawyer still prepares the contract and the documents your state requires, and runs settlement.
In Australia, the hard part has always been reaching buyers. Most buyers search realestate.com.au and Domain, and those portals only take listings from licensed agencies. That’s why private sellers list through a flat-fee agency like Unreserved. The home appears on both portals, and the owner keeps control of the sale without giving away a percentage of the price.
For buyers, a home for sale by owner works like any other purchase. You inspect, make an offer and have your own conveyancer check the contract before you sign. The difference is that you deal with the owner directly, so your questions go to the person who knows the home best.

Questions
For sale by owner: common questions.
From buyers, and from owners selling their own home.
What does for sale by owner mean?
The owner sells the home themselves, without paying an agent commission. Every home on this page is listed by its owner through Unreserved.
Is it safe to buy a home for sale by owner?
Yes. The legal side is the same as any sale. The seller’s conveyancer prepares the contract and the documents your state requires, and your own conveyancer checks them.
Can I sell my house without an agent in Australia?
Yes, in every state. You don’t need a licence to sell your own home. You’ll still need a conveyancer or lawyer for the contract and settlement.
Can I list on realestate.com.au myself?
No. The big portals only take listings from agencies. Unreserved is a licensed agency, so we list your home for you from $900, with no commission.
Can a for sale by owner listing go on realestate.com.au?
Yes, through a licensed platform. Private individuals can’t list there directly.
Is for sale by owner cheaper?
On a $1,000,000 home, commission at 2.1% is $21,000 before GST. A FSBO listing is $785 to $1,995.
Do for sale by owner homes sell for less?
Not when they’re priced from recent comparable sales. Our article on whether private sellers sell for less covers the data.
How do I contact the owner?
Open any listing and use the enquiry form. It goes straight to the owner.
What if I want an agent after all?
Unreserved Plus puts a licensed agent on your sale for a flat $6,900. Still no commission.
Ready to sell your own home without an agent? Sell it yourself from $900, or have our licensed team run the whole campaign for $6,900. No commission, no lock-in.
