selling your home privately

Thinking of selling your home without the middleman? Selling privately can save you a pretty penny on agent fees, but it’s not all roses and rainbows. You’ll need to master marketing, negotiations, and legal paperwork – or hire a solicitor to avoid legal landmines.

Pros include saving up to 3-3.5% in agent fees and having full control over the sale process. Cons? You’ll face challenges like limited market reach and potential pricing blunders.

Websites like Tradingpost and CarShowroom can help list your property, but don’t expect the same exposure as traditional real estate platforms. It’s a bold move, but if you’re confident and organised, it might just pay off.
