Why Man Territorians Are Choosing HomeWest

Homeowners across the NT are increasingly choosing HomeWest to sell their properties privately. They want to save on high commission costs, have direct communication with buyers, and retain control over the timing and process of their sale. With HomeWest, you get the tools, marketing exposure, and ongoing support you need to achieve a successful sale while avoiding the high costs of using a traditional agent.

How Much Do Real Estate Agents Charge in the NT?

Real estate agent commissions in the Northern Territory typically range from 2% to 3.5% of your final sale price, plus GST and marketing fees. For example, on a property selling for $600,000, you could pay between $12,000 and $21,000 in commission, not including additional advertising fees that can add thousands more. These costs directly reduce the amount of money you keep from your sale at settlement.

When you sell privately with HomeWest, you can avoid these commission fees while still receiving professional marketing exposure on Australia’s leading real estate websites, ensuring your property reaches serious buyers without unnecessary financial waste.

Is It Legal to Sell Privately in the NT?

It is completely legal to sell your property privately in the Northern Territory without using a licensed real estate agent. There are no laws requiring you to use an agent to sell your property. You can legally advertise your property, manage enquiries, conduct inspections, and negotiate directly with buyers yourself. You will need to use a valid contract of sale and engage a conveyancer or solicitor to handle the settlement and legal transfer of the property.

This means you can manage your sale confidently and legally while saving thousands in commission fees by selling privately with HomeWest.

How Much You Can Save by Selling Privately

Selling privately allows you to save a substantial amount of money. For example, on a $700,000 property, avoiding a 2.5% commission could save you around $17,500, which you can keep as profit or use towards your next property purchase, investments, or lifestyle goals.

Beyond the financial savings, selling privately with HomeWest allows you to control your sale, communicate directly with buyers, and present your property the way you know it deserves to be seen.

Step 2: Create and Publish Your Property Listing

Step 3: Communicate with Buyers and Conduct Home Opens

With HomeWest, you communicate directly with buyers, allowing you to answer questions promptly, negotiate directly, and build relationships that can help lead to a smooth sale.

You will negotiate directly with the buyer regarding the settlement period, deposit amount, and any conditions of the sale, allowing you to manage the process in a way that aligns with your needs and timeline.
