The benefits of selling without a real estate agent

While selling your own home may seem overwhelming to some, it can actually be super simple, with websites set up to assist you in the process.

Everyone selling a property tends to want the same outcome from the sale: For it to be convenient, to find a buyer willing to pay a top price, and not to incur unnecessary costs. If this sounds like you, you might want to consider selling your property without the assistance of a real estate agent. While it may seem overwhelming to some, selling without a real estate agent can actually be super simple, with sites like www.buymyplace.com.au to assist you in the process. Here are all the benefits of selling your place on your own.

There is no Middleman to Deal With

Without a middle man, there is no need for you to wait for their callbacks, strategies and trust the way they do things if you are not comfortable with. In addition, if you have the negotiating skills you think can get you a suitable deal, you might find you’re a natural at going agent-free in your journey to sell your place.

You Know More about the Place than Your Realtor

Since you are equipped with the knowledge of best things in your house it is arguably easier for you to market the place than someone who is a complete stranger. You can bring up these pointers when you are discussing the price with a prospective buyer. This also helps you accept the deal you end up with. Otherwise the deal the realtor proposes to you might feel like is not good enough.

Price Flexibility

The one reason that buyers like to see houses that have no realtor with it is because they believe they will be able to save money as the seller is able to let go of many costs – which is true. As a seller not bothering with a realtor, you are not burdened by a cost that compels you to push up your price validating it with the convenience of a real estate agent to your prospective buyer. This also helps you attract a greater number of prospective buyers in less time than those who hire realtors.

If you Have Sentimental Value Attached to Your House

If you want to talk to the people who are about to buy your place and the memories that go with it, it might be best that you carry out all the discussions and negotiations on your own. This helps you learn more about these people, and you are able to feel good about the idea of passing on your property to people you like.

Saving Money

The biggest advantage by far is the fee you save yourself from paying to a realtor. You could be better able to profit from the whole experience and maybe even put up the property at a lower price on the market than your competitors. If you are in a hurry to sell your property, this could also be an advantage.

Karis dedication to assisting with our home loan, even while I was on holidays, truly exemplifies a commitment to excellent service. It's the small things that often make a big difference, and it seems Karis attention to detail and clear communication were key to our smooth home purchase. I highly recommend using UNO and Karis for your home loan needs.

Andrew Wyers and team have been amazing. Andrew is very knowledgeable, offers practical advice and he has been pivotal in helping me secure a mortgage at a very competitive interest rate. He was highly responsive to my queries and,being a new immigrant to Perth, he was very patient with my many many questions. An added benefit for me was his knowledge of how superannuation here works. A hec of a great guy to work with, reliable and he goes above and beyond. I would recommend highly recommended him, especially for new immigrants. In fact, I will be using him again very soon!

Karis from UNO was so supportive throughout the entire process of buying our first home. She was contactable at any time, and answered all our silly questions for us. We couldn't recommend Karis and her team enough, as it always felt like she was in our corner with our best interests at heart.

I only have praise from my Uno experience! I was a broker sceptic, having done all of the hard work myself for my first two property purchases and sale. I'm now a proud broker advocate having used UNO (Karis Churchill) for two refinances and purchase. The value add Karis brought cannot be underrated! Not only has Karis got me the best rate, with a bonus cash back (nearly unheard of in this climate), she has done it with the least back-a-forth and with the least administrative burden on me (the thing that can deters people from refinancing to begin with). Karis is always on top of everything. Karis knows her stuff. She is the most responsive of any professional service provider I've ever used (my banker never text with an update at 7pm on a Sunday) without being overbearing. You know she's got your back and in my experience the value speaks for itself. Thank you to the whole UNO team, thank you especially to Karis.

Regarding UNO Home Loan services. I had great experience with uno home loans, Michael parsons was my broker for UNO Home Loans we had excellent communication throughout the whole home loan application. If I had any questions on home loan application which were many were answered in great detail. He had the time to assist me in filling out endless application forms at anytime through the day or night which made the application process stress free. So I would strongly recommend Michael parsons from UNO Home Loans to try his services you will not be disappointed. Thanks to Michael parsons I have the lowest home loan interest rate I could ever hope for which I particularly ask for. It’s was a pleasure working with him. And will be using his services in the near future.

Thank you to Michael and UNO for their help in securing our home loan. I like the way they break everything down in simple terms to ensure that you can make the right decision. Michael was polite and very patient to help us get things across the line. We are now sitting in our first home away from rental circus. Can't recommend them enough. Thanks Michael and thanks UNO

First time I have used a Broker and I must say Andrew Wyers and his team were amazing to work with and handled my refinance from a Big4 bank. He was able to understand my needs and find a lender that will be able to help me grow my investment portfolio. Andrew and his team kept me updated as part of my refinance journey and made the process super easy and I was able to refi to new lender in under 2 weeks. Would highly recommend Andrew.
