I wanted to get a tenant on licence for a building I was going to sell at 575 Church Street Richmond - so the sale would not attract GST = this was successful = a miracle
Property Now made letting our rental hassle free. The online enquiries and applications made our selection of a good tenant quick and easy. I’d strongly recommend them.** Show reply
I recently sold my unit through Property Now and it was such an effortless process. My home was sold within 24 hours of going online and it was a breeze to negotiate the conditions. Highly recommend Property Now to anyone thinking of selling & saving $$$s. Show reply

We used PropertyNow to sell our property and were pleased we did. It was a little bit scary not knowing how we would go selling our own home. Having Property Now available to answer any questions and to guide us through was great. The website was easy to work with, writing the ad and making changes etc. The staff were very helpful with suggestions… Read more · 1
for ad writing as well, and it was great having access to all the necessary forms. You can choose as much or as little that you want to do yourself. Do your research, present your house well, have your paperwork organised, get good advice for your price range and you will save money on fees.
Excellent Real Estate Platform for owners and assisting agents alike easy to use and economical! Show reply
I honestly should have used this years ago. Being able to do the process ourselves. The ease of use of the Property Now platform. Organising our inspections when we wanted to. The offered back up and support from Property Now team. We didn't have to use any support but there was a whole plethora of assistance waiting if we did. Highly recommend. Show reply
A very easy process. I used my own photographer and drone video. Sent them to property now. They also did the floorplan for me. Great communication via email. Was online very quickly. Saved tens of thousands of dollars. First time user and completely satisfied on the sale of our farmlet. Show reply
Website easy to use, help is great. Great service that saves a lot of money. That's our 4th house sold with you! Show reply

My wife & I have just sold our 3rd home through PropertyNow and we have also assisted with the selling of two others for family members. We, as a family, decided many years ago to sell privately after realising what now is painfully obvious, that… Read more · 1
slick salesmen in BMW's don't sell houses - houses sell houses. In the now distant past, real estate agents would drive you around to look at houses and spend time discussing properties etc. Nowadays sales agents do very little apart from standing at the door of an open house ushering people through - usually for a maximum 30 minutes. Too bad if you can't make the advertised time for an open house. We were nervous at first when selling our first property, but got a lot of help from PropertyNow who were always on hand to help. The process is so simple and when showing the property, buyers seem to appreciate being able to ask the actual owner relevant questions. And there is nothing complex about processing a sale, just a matter of accepting an offer then exchanging conveyancer details - the conveyancers do the rest. There are of course other private sales agents out there, but we have found PropertyNow to be the best by far. Always available to provide advice and assistance.
Follow-up · No real challenges, just ensuring the property remains presentable, although one irritation is having to fend off the odd nuisance inquiry from real estate agents Negotiating the sale of property is no different to selling anything else - keeping your base return in mind, invite offers which you either accept or reject.

Sold in Two Weeks! – Listing my house for sale on PropertyNow was a completely trouble free experience. I had enquiries within a couple of days, and two realistic offers within less than two weeks, one of which I accepted. I saved some 20k on agents fees, and the dramas of dealing with agents - I'd rather deal with the people who want to buy my house. Would an agent… Read more · 1
have got me more for the house? Maybe, but I was happy with the price I got.
One thing I would do differently - I spent a lot of time making a nice looking floor plan - it turns out they have a fairly inexpensive service to do that for you.
For those wondering if selling without an agent is for you - you need to take decent photos, write some half-decent copy for the ad and open the house for people when they come to inspect. That's basically what you're paying the agent for. It's not very difficult, and PropertyNow can help you with the first two, although I simply did it all myself. You should also have a realistic idea of how much you're asking, and what you're prepared to accept, and then be ready to negotiate with purchasers. If you're clear on what you want, the negotiating isn't difficult either.
The perfect result... SOLD – Utilising PropertyNow's services allowed us to list our property during the Christmas/New Year holiday season, a time when prospective buyers are often visiting our lovely region. The entire process was streamlined through PropertyNow's user-friendly website. We composed the advertisement description ourselves, arranged our photography, and… Read more · 1
uploaded the necessary information; our listing went live within minutes.
PropertyNow facilitated communication with prospective buyers by sending emails and text messages to notify us of enquiries, enabling us to promptly schedule viewings. Prospective buyers commented on the convenience of having direct communication with the property owners, appreciating the immediate response to their enquiries.
Within two weeks, we received a satisfactory offer, and the sale of our property is now unconditional.
Our experience selling with PropertyNow was wonderful and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend PropertyNow to sell your property.
Under offer but customer service lacking – Customer service agent tried to convince me that despite arranging my own photography, writing my own advertisement and doing my own private viewings, that their business was instrumental in the success of the sale of my home. I could have paid any third party to list my home and I don’t believe it would have made much difference. I was severely… Read more
disappointed that as someone who suffers from a disability (with current limited strength and mobility) I rang each business asking for more details and it was never conveyed that the sign was not installed for me since I remember mentioning I do not have the capacity to do so myself. The sign has never been used and was left on my doorstep (never rang my doorbell - I was home all day) and found it blowing down the street and had a large crease in the sign due to how it was just dumped on delivery. Very disappointing since the customer service person never asked for a photo to follow up despite paying almost $300 for the sign and never once offered any resolution besides getting a tradesman to install the damaged sign. I will likely use Buy My Place next time around since I have no doubt in my ability but the service and professionalism of this firm really left a lot to be desired.

Great to use, for under $1000! Real estate agents wanted $1300-$2000 just to advertise on RealEstate.com. Fill in the information on the Property Now site and the info automatically transfers to real-estate.com and Domain. Edit the advert any time. Enquiries go to your nominated email so you don't have to monitor the website. The enquiries are on… Read more · 1
the website as well. Great SMS and email support with prompt responses. We sold at the first open home. Property now provided the paperwork for buyers to submit their offers. Solicitor did the contract/paperwork for us; piece of mind knowing this is all done correctly by the solicitor. Saved $17,000.00 that the real estate agent would have taken in commission. Highly recommend using Property Now
PropertyNow were great - lots of useful resources to demystify the process of selling our home, and good advice via phone. The portal was easy to use, while the process of selling the home ourselves was scary, PropertyNow made us feel a lot better about it. Would highly recommend, and not just for the saving on real estate agent commission! Show reply
Great for people new to property management or wanting to manage multiple properties themselves. It's really easy to navigate and provides clear information. Highly reccomend. Show reply

Very average, not a great experience as a buyer – I was interested in buying a property, the person I spoke to was pleasant enough but did not sound confident taking the call, they cut me off and didn't appear to be listening to what I was saying. The messages I was getting were confusing, "they'd accept x $", "yes they're happy with that", "I'm sure they'd accept that", " if you do x they'd go… Read more
with it", "if I don't hear back from x it's yours". They never identified who they worked for so I was confused where they actually fit into the picture, their language was very different to a real estate agent and they seemed to be making decisions on behalf of the seller without checking with them. In the end the story changed and it fell through. We've bought and sold a few properties over the years so have a good understanding how this should have worked. I'm sure the buyer is happy the property sold however our circumstances are a little different and we'd have happily paid $20k or $30k over the sold price, I'm not confident the seller was told how keen we were to proceed.

Misleading information on the Verification Process – Totally wasted my time setting up on this website, only to be told that they wouldn't let the listing go live due to not providing a drivers Licence. The website states they need to verify you with photo ID. I provided my photo ID in the form of a working with children check ID card. Yet was contacted to say they would only accept a drivers… Read more
Licence photo ID. This was never mentioned on their website and should be mentioned. What if you don't have a drivers Licence or just don't want to provide that information? When questioned as to why only a drivers Licence is acceptable, rather than a verifiable working with children check photo ID, they could not provide any logical reason, other than to say I could have stolen the working with children check ID. Well a Licence could also be stolen right? Nor could they tell me what database they go to verify you. Nor could they say who has access to your drivers Licence details. Medicare was also mentioned as ID...well it doesn't have a photo does it? The only reason they kept given me was that it was required because of fraud....hello they already have your proof that you own the property, they have your name, address and card details, and verifiable photo ID. Insisting on a drivers Licence is totally unnecessary when you could be the one that's defrauded.

Absolute Shockers – I enquired about a home open in Maylands. I was emailed an evening appointment time. I drove all the way from Mandurah to view the property. Waited for 10 mins past opening time with a group of another 6 persons. When we rang the agent we were told the property had already been sold, that there had been an admin error. The agent did not at any stage offer any apologies.
Hi Peter, I am so sorry this has happened. That… Read more

This is my second time leasing through PropertNow and will definitely keep on using their service. I found their service this time around even better than my previous experience which was already excellent. It is not just a leasing/selling portal. They helped me out with tricky issues that I wouldn't have been able solve. Show reply
Property Now was responsive and assisted as needed throughout the pre listing and marketing campaign. Would work with Property Now in the future again and highly recommend selling your home yourself, with the help of Property Now Show reply
A consistent and reliable service. I have been using Property Now to lease my rental properties for years. It's easy to use by the landlord as well as by the prospective tenant. My apartment was leased within a week of advertising. It is easy to update wording and inspection times and pretty well instantaneous. If you need support it is promptly responded to. Notifications of prospective tenants are also instantaneous.
Properly Now is an easy and effective way to personally lease and manage your properties. I have used them many times with great success and will continue to do so. Show reply
