List on realestate.com.au
To advertise a property for sale or rent on realestate.com.au you need to hold an account with them and be a licensed real estate agent. Members for the general public cannot advertise on their site directly and they do not accept casual listings.
It is, however, possible to get listed on realestate.com.au by joining www.forsalebyowner.com.au to sell or rent your property. This will allow you to get your property listed not only on REA but also a number of other important real estate sites such as domain.com.au, allhomes.com.au and homesales.com.au
When listing with FSBO, it is not possible to only advertise on realestate.com.au, nor will you upload and edit your details directly through their site. Most of the packages offered by For Sale By Owner also include other services such as listings on other portals, for sale or for lease boards, printable brochures, access to manage your listing etc.
In terms of private listings versus agent listings on realestate.com.au, there is no difference simply because private listings are not permitted, and there are no private listings on realestate.com.au The reason your property can be listed on that website is because For Sale By Owner is a licensed real estate agency and holds an account with them.
If you are looking to make changes or possible upgrade your listing, this cannot be done directly through realestate.com.au but must be done through our software. Any changes you make (once approved), will then flow through not only to realestate.com.au but also a wide array of other real estate portals including domain, propertyinvestor.com.au and others.
Whilst realestate.com.au is definitely the biggest and most popular real estate website in Australia, remember that it is important as part of any online marketing campaign that your property be listed on other websites as well. Many people have their own favourite real estate site which they frequent exclusively and it is not the case that 100% of prospective buyers or tenants only visit realestate.com.au
