"I saved thousands" - Why these homeowners chose to sell privately

Selling your home is a one of the biggest decisions you’ll make. And when you consider how much traditional real estate agents can charge in commission, it’s worth asking : Do you really need an agent to sell your home? 

For a growing number of Buymyplace customers, the answer is no.

By choosing to sell their properties privately, these homeowners have saved thousands of dollars in commission while retaining control over their sale. Just as importantly, they’ve had access to support and guidance throughout the process, without the cost of a traditional real estate agent.

From saving enough to make a difference to their next property purchase to enjoying a straightforward selling experience, their stories show what selling privately can look like in practice. 

Here are three homeowners who discovered the benefits of selling privately with Buymyplace. 

1. Saving thousands to put towards their next property

For some sellers, the biggest benefit of selling privately is what they can do with the money they save.

One Buymyplace customer was delighted to discover that the savings were equivalent to the stamp duty on their next property.

“The only way to sell your property!”

This was the best experience ever selling our property with Buymyplace. It was simple, efficient and very affordable compared to going through a real estate agent.

They are with you all the way and always available. I can't recommend them highly enough. This is definitely the future of selling your own home, with no commission costs.

It saved us the equivalent of stamp duty on our next property. Just a very satisfying and fabulous service for selling your home!

Thanks Buymyplace, we are very grateful we chose you!

For this homeowner, avoiding traditional agent commission meant keeping more of the proceeds from their sale to put towards their next move. It's a practical reminder that the cost of selling doesn't have to eat into your next property purchase.

2. Getting the support they needed, without the traditional agent fees

One common concern about selling privately is whether you'll have enough help along the way. Having more control over your sale doesn't mean you want to be left to figure everything out yourself.

For this Buymyplace customer, the level of service was a standout.

“Their support is second to none.”

This business is amazing. What you get for your money is just incredible.

Their support is second to none and everything they do is so quick.

We have just sold via Buymyplace, and were so impressed with the service that we will have our second house on the market with them next week.

The sale could not have gone better, and the money we saved by doing it ourselves was fantastic.

The experience was positive enough that they decided to list their second property with Buymyplace straight away.

It's a great example of how selling privately can offer a balance between independence and support, helping homeowners manage their sale while avoiding traditional real estate commission.

3. Taking control of the sale and keeping more of the proceeds

Selling privately also gives homeowners greater involvement in how their property is sold. Rather than handing the entire process over to an agent, sellers can take a more active role and make decisions on their own terms.

For another Buymyplace customer, the process was much easier than expected.

“Selling my property privately was an absolutely seamless experience.”

The entire process was straightforward, efficient and incredibly easy to navigate.

The platform was user-friendly, provided clear guidance at every step, and gave me complete control throughout the sale.

Most importantly, it was extremely cost-effective compared to using a traditional real estate agent. Never again will I sell with a real estate agent.

I saved thousands in commission fees without compromising on the quality of the sale process.

This seller's experience highlights two of the main reasons homeowners consider selling privately: the opportunity to save on commission and the ability to stay in control of the process.

When the experience is straightforward and the right guidance is available, selling without a traditional real estate agent can be a more affordable alternative than many homeowners expect.

Is selling your property privately worth it?

Every property sale is different, but these customer experiences highlight three benefits of selling privately with Buymyplace:

• Save on real estate commission. Keep more of your property's sale proceeds rather than paying traditional agent commission.

• Stay in control. Take a more active role in your sale and make decisions that suit your circumstances.

• Get support along the way. Access guidance and assistance without necessarily paying for a traditional full-service agent.

For these homeowners, selling privately delivered more than financial savings. It gave them a selling experience they were happy with, backed by support when they needed it.

And when one customer is so pleased they list another property, and another says they wouldn't return to using a traditional agent, it speaks to the value they found in the experience.
