Yes, you can sell your own house in Australia, and keep the agent’s commission from taking a scenic drive out of your pocket.
You’ll need to set a realistic price, handle marketing and enquiries, run inspections, and negotiate like a grown‑up.
Get a solicitor or conveyancer to prepare the contract and required disclosures, then guide you through exchange and settlement.
