Selling Your Land Privately in Australia with the For Sale By Owner Method

With our service (see our bundled packages), you can sell your land yourself. Your block will appear on the major real estate sites, such as realestate.com.au and domain.com.au, without an agent. It can be vacant residential land, a rural block or large acreage. When you sell your land in Australia with No Agent Property, you pay no commission.

But what are your TRUE savings? Below we show the real share of your profit that an agent would take when you sell a block of land.

A

Note your purchase price and the year you bought. For this example, we use a block of land bought for $400,000 in 2019 and sold in 2026.

B

Find the stamp duty you paid. Each state has a calculator on its revenue office website (VIC example: https://www.e-business.sro.vic.gov.au/calculators/land-transfer-duty). a. In this example (VIC), stamp duty was $19,070.

C

So, the land cost you the purchase price ($400,000) + stamp duty ($19,070) = $419,070.

D

Add any money spent on the land, like survey, clearing, fencing or connection to services. For this example, say $10,000. The total cost of your land is now $429,070 (we exclude council rates and loan interest).We have signs that can either be delivered to any address in Australia, or signs that can be installed by one of our professionals. (Note some rural locations may require a sign to be couriered and self-installed. Ready to get started – before you know it your block of land will be up on Realestate.com.au and Domain.com.au, Farmbuy (if rural) and many other sites.

E

Now it is time to sell. With normal growth, your block may now be worth around $520,000.

F

G

Take your total cost ($429,070) away from the sale price ($520,000). You are left with $90,930. Then remove conveyancing (around $1,500) and the agent’s advertising fees for online ads, signboard and brochures (around $3,000). This leaves $86,430.

H

Now you must pay the agent’s commission of $14,300. This is close to 17% of your profit. That is the TRUE commission you pay. Selling your land without an agent keeps this money in your pocket.
