We provide a platform that allows you to advertise your property privately, putting you in charge of everything from the listing to the final agreement.
More people across the ACT are discovering the advantages of private real estate. With Realty Star, you list your property on the same major platforms agents use, like realestate.com.au and domain.com.au.

In the past, selling or renting a property meant finding a local agent, agreeing to their commission, and handing over the reins. Today, technology has opened the doors to private listings. You no longer need an agent to reach potential buyers or tenants. You can list your property online, communicate directly, and manage the transaction yourself — all with the support of Realty Star.
Canberra homeowners and investors are increasingly opting for this approach. From Gungahlin to Tuggeranong, more people are seeing private real estate as a smart, flexible, and financially sensible way to advertise their properties.

Why People Choose Private Real Estate
One of the main reasons people choose to list privately is to save money. Real estate agents in Canberra typically charge between 2 and 3 percent in commission. On a $900,000 property, that can mean more than $20,000 in fees. And that’s before any additional marketing costs or administrative charges.
With Realty Star, you pay a low fixed fee. That’s it. No commission, no hidden extras, and no pressure. You create the listing, take the enquiries, and negotiate directly. Most of our users are surprised at how simple and empowering it is to handle the process themselves — and how much they save.
Buyers and Tenants Prefer It Too
Private real estate isn’t just appealing to sellers and landlords. Buyers and tenants also appreciate the direct communication. When you’re looking for a property, it’s often easier to speak directly with the owner. You can get honest answers, arrange a viewing quickly, and negotiate without the filter of a third party.
It’s also a more relaxed experience. Many people find it easier to make decisions when they’re not dealing with a salesperson. Whether you’re renting or buying, it’s refreshing to deal with someone who actually knows the home inside and out.

Private Real Estate is Growing Across Canberra
Canberra is seeing a significant rise in private listings. The combination of high agent fees and increased digital access means more people are exploring the do-it-yourself approach. We’ve helped clients list and rent out their properties in suburbs like:
- Braddon
- Belconnen
- Kingston
- Watson
- Woden
- Gungahlin

Regardless of the suburb, if your property is well-presented and priced right, you can attract quality buyers or tenants without needing an agent to do it for you.
You Stay in Control
When you list your property with Realty Star, you stay in control. That means you decide when and how to hold inspections. You respond to enquiries on your schedule. You negotiate the terms, not someone else. You don’t have to rely on a third party to keep you updated. You’re directly involved from start to finish.
This level of control often leads to better outcomes. You can focus on what’s important to you, whether that’s price, timing, or choosing the right person to move in.
Buyers and Renters Appreciate the Personal Touch
Private listings also create a more personal connection. When someone is interested in your home, they get to deal with you directly. That interaction helps build trust and encourages honest conversation. Buyers feel more informed. Tenants feel more comfortable asking questions. Everyone benefits.
In fact, many people who have bought or rented through a private listing say they’d do it again. The simplicity and transparency are hard to beat.
How to List Your Property With Realty Star
Listing your property privately is easy. Here’s a step-by-step outline:

You’ll receive all enquiries directly and can manage them at your convenience. You can edit your listing at any time, add new photos, or adjust your pricing as needed.
Tips for a Great Private Listing
To make sure your listing stands out, follow these tips:
- Take clear, well-lit photos of every room

- Respond to enquiries quickly and politely
- Be flexible with inspection times to accommodate interest
Small details make a big difference. A well-presented listing builds confidence and encourages more people to reach out.
Save Thousands With No Commission
One of the most rewarding aspects of private real estate is the money you save. When you sell or rent your property without an agent, you keep everything. That’s thousands of dollars you can put toward your next property, renovations, travel, or just enjoy as savings.
With Realty Star, your only cost is a one-time fixed fee. No monthly charges. No surprise bills. No commission. It’s a fair, affordable model that gives you all the exposure you need at a fraction of the cost.
