buymyplace.com.au is the latest For Sale By Owner (FSBO) portal to hit the market.
buymyplace.com.au is a privately owned company based in Melbourne, and at the moment the portal only covers the state of Victoria.
Currently in beta form, the company plans to hold an Australia-wide launch in early 2009, and have big hopes for the site’s growth, saying:
“Buy My Place is an online real estate advertising company that represents the future of real estate Australia. They provide you with the choice of selling your own home online without the worry of paying high agent commissions.”
“Just as eBay changed the way ordinary people buy and sell goods, Buy My Place will change the way real estate is bought and sold in Australia.”
buymyplace.com.au might look slick, with illustrated cartoon style characters, and well-thought out design, but it’s not the first in the Australian market. It will face competition from existing FSBO portals likeowner.com.au, smartvendor.com.au, onthehouse.com.au, and zeroagents.com.au.
Behind the website are a team of industry professionals from real estate, marketing, technology and customer service.
As well as FSBO property listings, market value information, and a customer service team, the website also contains a knowledge centre with resources for owner sellers and buyers alike.
