If you’re thinking about buying, renting, or selling property in Sydney, you’re probably aware of the traditional path: find a real estate agent, pay their commission, and let them take over the process. But what if there was a better way? What if you could manage everything yourself, keep control, save money, and deal directly with the people involved?
That’s where Realty Star comes in. We’re helping homeowners and landlords across Sydney advertise their properties for sale or rent without needing to use a traditional agent. As a buyer or tenant, you get to communicate directly with the owner. No middleman. No inflated fees. Just clear, direct communication between real people.

The Australian real estate landscape is undergoing a major transformation. Increasingly, people are opting to sell or rent their properties independently. And it’s not hard to see why. Traditional agents charge hefty commissions and marketing fees. That might have seemed worth it years ago when agents had all the access to marketing platforms, but today that’s no longer the case.
With services like Realty Star, you can get your property listed on all the major real estate websites, present it professionally, and deal with enquiries yourself. You stay in control while still reaching a wide audience.

Why More Sellers Are Choosing Private Sales
If you’ve ever sold a property through an agent, you know how the fees can add up quickly. Agents typically take around 2 to 3 per cent commission on the sale price. On a $1.2 million Sydney home, that could mean $30,000 or more out of your pocket.
When you use Realty Star, you don’t pay any commission. You pay a simple, fixed fee to get your property listed and advertised. That’s it. You manage your inspections, take the enquiries, and negotiate your sale. Many people find that they get a better result this way, simply because they know their home better than anyone else.
Renting Out Your Property Without an Agent
It’s not just sellers who benefit from the private path. As a landlord, you can also advertise your rental directly and manage it yourself. You save on ongoing property management fees and still maintain control over who lives in your home.
Realty Star makes it simple. We provide the tools and platforms you need to reach prospective tenants, conduct your own open homes, and screen applicants. If you’re organised and willing to be hands-on, you can manage your own property with confidence and ease.
Buyers and Tenants Appreciate Direct Communication
One of the biggest advantages of private real estate in Sydney is that buyers and tenants get to speak directly to owners. If you’re looking to buy or rent, this means you avoid delays, get clear answers straight from the source, and can often negotiate more flexibly.
Without an agent in the middle, everything feels more transparent. You’re dealing with a person who has a genuine connection to the property, not someone with a sales quota. Many buyers and tenants prefer this arrangement because it allows for faster decisions and a more personal approach.
The Rise of DIY Property Advertising
Years ago, selling or renting out your property without an agent would have been difficult. You needed insider access to advertising portals and knowledge of real estate procedures. Today, that’s changed completely.
Realty Star bridges the gap. We give you access to powerful marketing platforms that were once only available to agents. You can list on sites like realestate.com.au and domain.com.au, complete with professional photos, floor plans, and detailed descriptions.
We also help you with the legal side. Need a lease agreement? We’ve got templates and guides. Unsure how to manage enquiries? We’ll walk you through it. You don’t need to be a real estate expert to sell or rent your home. You just need the right tools, and that’s what we provide.
Is Private Real Estate Right for You?
If you like being in control, if you enjoy talking to people, and if you want to save thousands of dollars, private real estate might be the perfect fit for you. Whether you’re selling a house in the Inner West, renting out a unit in Parramatta, or leasing an apartment in the CBD, Realty Star can help you take charge of the process.
You don’t need to be a marketing guru or a legal expert. You just need to be willing to put in a little effort. Most of our clients say it’s easier than they thought, and the savings make it more than worthwhile.
