Price guide
Photos and description of the property are optional.
A picture paints a thousand words! Buyers love to see photos so if you are happy to provide photos that will help them decide whether it suits their requirements and whether it is worth arranging to view the property. This can save you both time. Smartphone quality is absolutely fine. When taking photos where possible take when there is plenty of natural light and take from the corner of a room to show the full size of the room and its proportions.
As the owner, let buyers know what you love about the property and its location, its best attributes and features, as well as practical information such as land size, house or unit size, council and water rates, how many units there are in a block, strata fees, etc.
Agents may also upload their company logo in their Profile which is seen on all property matches.
