So far, three bids for the parrot, none for the property, so I'm changing tack and listing with www.realprivate.com.au which gives me a listing on Australia's premier real estate site www.realestate.com.au.
As property owner, I cannot list directly on www.realestate.com.au but must go through a real estate agent who does little more than do the listing for me. If it comes to a sale, I then pay the agent several tens of thousands of dollars in commission.
www.realprivate.com.au are real estate agents who facilitate the listing on www.realestate.com.au for a small placement fee (in my case $499). If it comes to a sale, I owe them nothing!
I'm surprised people still pay agents those high commissions!
