Gone are the days when selling a property required hiring a traditional real estate agent and handing over thousands in commission. With Realty Zero, you can advertise your property on Domain.com.au — one of Australia’s top real estate platforms — without using an agent. Sell your home on your own terms, save money, and stay in full control from start to finish.
Why Sell Privately in Australia?
Australia’s property market is changing. Today’s homeowners are savvy, digitally aware, and increasingly keen to avoid unnecessary expenses. Selling privately puts the power back in your hands. With access to major platforms like Domain.com.au through Realty Zero, there’s no need for a middleman.
- No commission: Agents typically take 2–3% of your sale price. On a $750,000 home, that’s up to $22,500.
- Transparency: You control communication, pricing, and negotiation.
- Direct contact: Speak directly with buyers — no delays, no second-hand messages.
- Flat fee simplicity: Know exactly what you’re paying upfront with Realty Zero’s packages.
Can You Really List on Domain.com.au Without Being an Agent?
Not directly. Domain only allows listings via licensed agents. But that’s where Realty Zero comes in. We’re a licensed real estate provider who enables private sellers to legally advertise on Domain.com.au. We act as the gateway — you stay in control, we handle the backend access.

Tips for Creating a Powerful Private Listing
1. Hire a Professional Photographer
Strong visuals attract clicks. A few hundred dollars spent on professional real estate photography can translate into thousands more in your sale price.
2. Nail the Headline
Your property title should be clear, appealing, and keyword-optimised. Examples: “Renovated Family Home Near Schools” or “Beachside Apartment with City Views”.
3. Keep Descriptions Clear
Avoid agent jargon. Focus on what buyers actually want: space, location, condition, lifestyle. Be honest and highlight features.
4. Be Responsive
Replying quickly to enquiries builds trust and boosts your chances of securing viewings and offers.
Understanding State-Based Legal Requirements
Realty Zero helps ensure you’re compliant in all states. Here’s what you should know:
- NSW: A Contract of sale must be prepared before listing. Realty Zero provides contract kits.
- VIC: Must include a Section 32 Vendor Statement. We can connect you with professionals.
- QLD: Must disclose all encumbrances. Our templates include necessary disclosures.
- WA: Disclosure of material facts is essential.
- SA: Vendors need a Form 1 disclosure document.
- TAS: A written contract is required before offers can be accepted.
- ACT: Sellers must have a contract and building/pest reports available at listing time.
- NT: Easier private sale rules, but due diligence is still essential.
If you’re unsure, Realty Zero can guide you through what’s required in your state.
Who Is Selling Privately Suitable For?
Private selling isn’t just for experienced investors — it’s ideal for:
- Confident homeowners who enjoy managing their own affairs
- People who’ve sold before and want to skip commissions
- Sellers in hot markets where demand is already high
- Downsizers or retirees with time to coordinate their sale
