Why is PropertyNow more expensive than other options?

You'll find cheaper private-sale services. PropertyNow isn't trying to be the cheapest — we're built for owners who want more than a basic upload to the portals.

The better comparison is what happens after the ad is submitted.

1. An established team behind the listing

PropertyNow has operated since 2006 and is Australian owned and operated. Two decades in, we're rated 4.8 stars on Trustpilot from over 4,000 reviews — and we've won the ProductReview.com.au Real Estate Award 8 times in 9 years — including 2026. Our team understands the portal rules, common campaign problems and the questions private sellers actually run into.

When something needs a person, you can reach our Australian support team seven days a week. Our AI helpdesk provides instant answers to routine questions, but you will never be trapped in a bot loop.

2. Systems for the full campaign

The sale package covers the life of your campaign, not just the first upload. It includes:

• advertising across the major property portals until sold
• a purpose-built owner dashboard
• 24/7 submission of listing changes
• automated phone and email enquiry handling
• enquiry history, offers, inspection tools, brochures and seller forms
• a manual check before the listing is first published
• ongoing help with portal or campaign issues

3. Fixed cost, no PropertyNow commission

The fee is clear before you start and doesn't increase with your sale price. There is no percentage commission or success fee payable to PropertyNow when you sell.

4. Compare service, not only the headline price

When comparing providers, check:

1. How long the listing stays live
2. Which portals are included
3. Whether support is available by phone and on weekends
4. How buyer calls, emails and updates are handled
5. How long the company has operated
6. Independent reviews and public performance figures

If your only priority is the lowest possible upfront fee, there are cheaper services. If you want a full campaign, established systems and a human team available when you ask, that is what the PropertyNow fee is designed to provide.
