If you’re looking to sell or rent your property in Perth, you’ve likely asked yourself whether using a real estate agent is really necessary. The truth is, it’s not. At Realty Star, we make it possible for you to advertise your property privately and take full control of the process. You don’t need to hand over the reins or pay expensive commissions. Instead, you can deal directly with buyers or tenants and keep more of your hard-earned money.
More and more Perth property owners are choosing to sell or lease privately. As a buyer or tenant, you also get the benefit of speaking to the person who knows the home best — the owner. This direct contact saves time, reduces costs, and leads to more open and honest communication.

Australia’s property market is changing. The days of relying solely on real estate agents to advertise and manage your property are fading fast. With access to powerful listing platforms and user-friendly technology, everyday people like you can now sell or rent your property without needing an agent at all.
Perth has been part of this shift. From coastal suburbs like Cottesloe and Scarborough to inner-city areas like Leederville and East Perth, private real estate is growing in popularity. Sellers and landlords are discovering just how simple it is to take control, and buyers and renters are enjoying more personal and responsive interactions.

Why More People Are Advertising Their Properties Privately
One of the biggest reasons people turn to private real estate is cost. Agent commissions in Perth often range from 2 to 3 percent of the sale price. On a $700,000 property, that’s up to $21,000 you could be handing over. On the rental side, ongoing property management fees can add up to thousands per year.
With Realty Star, you pay a single fixed fee to list your property. There’s no commission. There are no hidden extras. That’s it. You manage the enquiries, handle inspections, and finalise the deal — all while keeping more of your money and staying in full control of the process.
Buyers and Tenants Value Direct Communication
One of the major benefits of private real estate is the ability for buyers and tenants to contact the owner directly. This creates a more transparent and efficient experience for everyone involved. As a buyer, you can ask specific questions, arrange inspections directly, and negotiate terms without needing to go through a third party. As a tenant, you get to speak with the person who will actually be managing the property, which leads to a better working relationship from the outset.
Without the filter of an agent, things happen faster. Communication is clearer. And best of all, there’s less pressure. You’re speaking with someone who genuinely knows the property and wants to make the right deal happen.

Buyers and Tenants Prefer the Personal Touch
When you remove the middleman, the experience becomes more personal. Buyers appreciate being able to speak with you directly. They feel more informed and more confident in their decision. Tenants like being able to discuss lease terms with the actual owner. It builds trust and creates a better working relationship from the beginning.
In many cases, people who have bought or rented through a private listing say they’d never go back to the traditional way. It’s faster, simpler, and more respectful of everyone’s time.

Tips for a Successful Private Sale or Rental
If you want to make your listing stand out and attract serious buyers or renters, here are some key tips:
