While the average time for customers to sell a property is less than 3 months and the average time for our landlords to lease a residential property remains just 17 days, we know every market differs so we offer generous time limits. Our 'for sale' properties service remains an 'until sold' zero time limits model. You'll stay listed until you've sold your property or choose to withdraw it. For rental proeprties, there is a maximum listing period of 6 months (or until leased or withdrawn, whicSome readersWhere does my property get listed?

You don't need a contract arranged in order to complete the listing process. Whether you need to have a pre-prepared contract of sale before marketing your property, depends on your state. NSW and ACT sellers are required by law to have a contract of sale ready, prior to advertising. SA sellers will have to have the section 32 form filled out prior to listing also. It's a great idea for sellers in any state to be as prepared as possible for a potential sale. You can purchase contract preparSome readersIs it possibe to sell without an agent?
Yes, it’s absolutely possible to sell a property without using a real estate agent. There’s no requirement to use an agent, and no evidence that agents are the only ones capable of achieving a successful sale. In fact, thousands of Australians have sold their properties privately and saved significantly in the process — we’ve helped thousands of them do exactly that. Private sellers often come out ahead financially by avoiding large commissions and unnecessary marketing costs. Without thSome readersHow successful is PropertyNow?
PropertyNow has helped thousands of Australians successfully sell or lease their properties — with hundreds of positive reviews from sellers and landlords across platforms like Trustpilot and Google. We’re proud of our track record, but it's important to understand that outcomes can still vary depending on factors like pricing, presentation, and market conditions. We’re here to guide you every step of the way — from setting a realistic price (with our free value reports) to answering your questSome readersWhere can I see PropertyNow's current listings and sold listings?
You can access our realestate.com.au profile here and our domain.com.au profile here and these will show all our current listings as well as the last few years of sold listings.Some readersI have a sole agreement with an agent - can I still list with PropertyNow?
Yes - A sole agency agreement still allows you to sell your property privately, PropertyNow is not acting as an agent as we have no agency agreement with you. A sole agency agreement is similar to an exclusive agency agreement. You give rights to one agent to sell the property but you may find a buyer yourself. If you find a buyer who has not been introduced by the agent, then no commission is payable to the agent.Some readersAre there any hidden costs?
No — we get asked this one a lot, and the answer is simple. There are no hidden costs, no additional fees, and no commission payable. What you see is exactly what you pay. All advertised prices include GST and standard shipping. (You can choose to upgrade to express shipping at an additional cost if you prefer.) We offer fee-free checkout via Bank Transfer or PayID. Other payment methods (Credit/Debit Card, PayPal, ZipMoney) incur aSome readersCan you get my listing on realestate.com.au?
Yes, our service absolutely includes advertising on realestate.com.au. Private sales are not allowed on realestate.com.au UNLESS they are uploaded through a Licensed real estate agent such as PropertyNow. Realestate.com.au is completely aware of the PropertyNow business model and your listing is absolutely permitted. It is true that some other companies have been removed from realestate.com.au because of the way they approached their business but PropertyNow has remained for many years.Some readersWhat payment methods do you offer?
We offer several secure payment options for all PropertyNow services: Credit/Debit Card PayPal ZipMoney Bank Transfer / PayID Fees Bank Transfer and PayID: Fee-free Credit/Debit Card, PayPal & ZipMoney: 2% processing fee applies If you have any questions about payment options or need assistance completing your order, our team is here to help. You don’t need to activate your listing immediately after payment—there’s an option to actSome readersWill I pay commission if I list my property for sale on PropertyNow?
No! When we say one fee, we mean one fee. You will not pay a commission when listing your property for sale on PropertyNow. When a sale is made after using our services, absolutely no commission is payable. We only charge a very small upfront marketing fee, which covers our costs to provide you with the services we do. There are no hidden charges and definitely no real estate agent commission payable upon sale.Some readersI'm listing with an agent (or was recently), can I still list PropertyNow?
If you are now (or were recently) listed with an agent, you need to check the terms of your agency agreement very carefully. If your agency agreement with the agent has expired/finished you should be able to list with us no problems. Problems only occur if you have a current, exclusive agency agreement with another agency as they have exclusive rights to the property sale and the property commission. Be mindful of checking terms carefully as in the case of some agreements, agents can still cSome readersWhat do you provide aside from listings?

Yes, PropertyNow is a Licensed Real Estate Agency. We're licensed in every state of Australia. The Licensee is Andrew Blachut. License number: 928874Some readersIs there a cost to make changes after I list?
No, we never charge you to update your listing. You can also do this yourself, without needing to contact us. You can make changes within your account 24 hours, 7 days a week. Once saved, changes will feed over to all portals automatically within 1-3 hours.Some readersWould my property sell for a higher price with an agent?
Not necessarily — and in many cases, private sellers achieve just as strong (if not better) outcomes without one. When you sell privately, you have a natural advantage: you're not paying thousands in commission or inflated marketing costs, so there's more flexibility in how you price and negotiate. That can put your property in a stronger position — especially in a competitive or price-sensitive market. Even if you sell slightly below what an agent might quote, you can still come out ahead oveSome readersWill my property be listed on AllHomes.com.au?
A listing on Allhomes.com.au isn't included in our core service. This is an optional extra that you can purchase at any time within your account. Allhomes has varied pricing depending on your state and suburb, you can get exact pricing for your listing type and area within your account.Some readersCan you give me advice?
It's totally OK to be nervous, most of our for sale listing clients are newbies, and it's normal to be nervous when jumping into something new! It is vital to understand that although our staff are trained and knowledgeable, they are not legal representatives. However, it is our pleasure to provide free, non-legal, general real estate advice to you at any time. We have resources on our site, including guides and video tutorials, that can assist with many queries you may have. It's important toSome readersDoes my listing have to go live right away?
No, you don't have to publish your listing as soon as you finish it and checkout. You'll have two options for publication upon check-out - 'Immediately' and 'I'll let you know'. How quickly your listing goes live is very much dependant upon you. If you select the 'immediately' option, we can usually get your listing live on Realestate.com.au and Domain within the hour, providing everything has been completed, your listing has been paid for, and it was completed in business hours - 9am - 6pm QSome readersCan I list a rural property?

Yes, our service includes a standard listing on domain.com.au.Some readersCan I do an auction with PropertyNow?
Yes! If you already have an Auction booked, just provide the date and time when listing. If you don't already have an Auction arranged but would like to run an Auction, we can help. Unfortunately we are unable to provide onsite Auctioneers as part of our service but we can arrange an online Auction through one of our partners (additional cost). Please contact our friendly support team to learn more.Some readersIs making a payment online secure?
Yes, our payment methods are completely safe. We offer many different payment methods to ensure you feel secure.

All of the forms that are needed are available inside of your account in the 'Forms & Downloads' section. Unfortunately, we cannot help with filling these out because we aren't your legal representatives. For help with paperwork, we strongly recommend contacting your solicitor/conveyancer or settlement agent who will assist you.Few readersI have an open agreement with an agent, can I still list with PropertyNow?
Definitely! If you have an open agreement, you're more than welcome to engage other agencies as per the terms of that agreement. Open agreements state that you only owe a commission to the agent that brings in the buyer. This means that if you use us (as we're only assisting you in selling) that when you sell, there's no commission payable.Few readersCan you check my description?
Of course we can! In fact, checking over everything for you is part of our service. A spelling, grammar and general check will occur before we send your listing live.Few readersCan I start my listing now and finish it later?
Yes! When completing your new listing, you'll see a 'save for later' button. All you need to do is click this button, to save any information you've input up until now. You can log back in and return to where you were later, at any time. We recommend that if you're editing your description directly on your PropertyNow account that you save regularly.

Absolutely not. We don't know your home, you do. Aside from the legal repercussions, we could also lose our real estate license, as we are simply marketing and not selling your property. Our staff will ensure that if anyone gets in touch with us directly about your property, that they are directed straight back to you - you'll always know what's happening with the sale or leasing of your own home.Few readersCan I list with an agent as well as PropertyNow?
Absolutely! It's essential to understand agency agreements to know how you can list with multiple agencies. Traditional agents will want you to sign an exclusive contract; with an exclusive contract, you cannot list with us or any other agency throughout the term of that contract, as the agent you've signed with has an exclusive right to the sale and commission. We recommend discussing an open or sole agency agreement with your agent, reading through your contract carefully and ensuring you retFew readersWhat if it takes longer to sell or lease?
