That depends on the amount of exposure you are looking for and how quickly you need to find a tenant. With ReDIY, you can advertise your private rental on all the major rental sites and lease the property privately.
Certainly, online advertising, on the major Real Estate Sites, to Rent Privately, without an Agent, is the way to go. Let's look at the options.
There is the Gumtree site. A free option. Be honest with yourself, is this the first site that would spring to mind, if you were a tenant, looking for a new rental property? The answer is "Probably not." It is a great site, and one that many of us visit regularly - perhaps to sell or buy a second hand item, at a low price.
Rent.com does have a free basic package. Rentfind.com.au is sort of free, after you pay an annual subscription. That is it, I'm sorry. Yes, there are other free sites. Unfortunately, most of these are for Licensed Real Estate Agents. Yes they are free, but you need an Agent to have access to them. Nothing is really free in this life, there is always a catch. ReDIY can advertise your private rental on realestate.com.au, domain.com.au, rent.com.au and rentfind.com.au as well as other Real Estate sites, for a one, off low fee.
These are some of the bonus sites that Real Estate Agents have access to. They do not admit to their clients, that they are free. They let them think they are doing them a favour by giving bonus sites. They are allhomes.com.au, property.com.au, onthehouse.com.au, homely.com.au, squizz.com.au, homehound.com.au, homesales.com.au and thehomepage.com.au. Doesn't seem fair, does it? Seems biased towards Agencies who want your business. Making it difficult to Do It Yourself. Advertise your rental on all these sites, plus more, with ReDIY.
The two major sites, for Property seekers, are realestate.com.au and domain.com.au. There is no question about this.
Domain does allow Private Landlords to access their site to advertise their rental property. Their costs are for a 2 week advertisement - $254.10, and for a 4 week advertisement - $387.20. If not leased in the selected time frame, you pay again. You are paying for no guarantee of a result. The good news is coming, don't get disheartened yet. ReDIY can advertise your rental on Domain.com.au PLUS realestate.com.au and others for one low fee, until leased.
First, more bad news, I'm afraid. Realestate.com.au only allows Real Estate Agencies to advertise on their site. Agents are required to be licensed and pay annual subscriptions. They can justify these high costs with the volume of listings that they advertise. Also, in the majority of cases, the client pays.
I promised you, the Private Landlord, good news, and here it is.
ReDIY can advertise your private rental property, for you, on all of the online major Real Estate sites, for a low one off fee. How can we do this? As we are a Licensed Real Estate Agency, we can access the paid sites, the Real Estate Agency only sites and the free sites.
ReDIY will advertise your private rental property, so you can lease your property privately, without an Agent as a Private Rental on Realestate.com.au, Domain.com.au, rent.com.au, rentfind.com,au, allhomes.com.au, onthehouse.com.au, homely.com.au, squizz.com.au, homehound.com.au, homesales.com.au and thehomepage.com.au. Yes, that's right all sites for one low cost. Refer to our homepage. There is more good news. There is no time frame. Your Private Rental advertisement remains on all sites until it is leased by you, the Private Landlord, without an Agent.
The correct answer is with ReDIY. Without doubt. To find a good quality tenant, fast, you need to advertise it on realestate.com.au and domain.com.au. Your advertisement will not only be on the most visited sites - realestate.com.au and domain.com.au, it will appear on all 8 of the other online real estate sites. The more exposure that you give to your private rental property, the more enquiries will come. More enquiries means you have a choice - to select the best possible tenant in the shortest amount of time.
Due to the terms of Realestate.com.au, not permitting Private Landlords, direct access to their site, the advertisement is not permitted to contain personal contact information. Therefore the initial enquiry must come via the third party site that Private Landlords use to advertise their rental property, privately. With ReDIY, Private Landlords get their tenant enquiries, as and when they come in. they are emailed to the Private Landlord, just as all third party companies do. ReDIY also enters them into the Private Landlords’ property dashboard, on site. The private landlord can access these enquiries 24/7 from any device. ReDIY Private Landlords do not have to wait for the business hours of the third party site to access their tenant enquiries.
Enquiries are forwarded to our Private Landlords from 7am to midnight, 7 days a week.(EST Time) Enquiries that may come in after midnight are passed on first thing in the morning. ReDIY has staff that can be contacted by our Private Landlords and Tenants by phone, email or on our Chat function from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday and from 9am to 6pm on weekends. Quite frequently, staff are available on the chat function outside of these hours, to assist our Private Landlords to rent their property privately, without an Agent.
ReDIY can conduct a TICA Check on potential tenants, for Private Landlords, for a low cost. This is a search of the National Tenancy Database. Any Tenants with a former delinquent rental history are listed on this data base by Real Estate Agents and Landlords. This ensures that the selected applicant has no previous bad rental history. Peace of mind for the Private Landlord, when doing Private Rentals, without an Agent.
Potential Tenants can sign into the ReDIY site and submit their tenancy application direct to the Private Landlord, through the Private Landlords’ property dashboard. Our Private Landlords can process the application online. Reference checks are automated to send an email to employees, previous real estate agents and Landlords. These come back direct into the Property dashboard. A very fast, efficient, easy to use feature.
Private Landlords, For Rent/Lease By Owners, are Leasing Property Privately, with No Agents, advertising on the major real estate sites, attracting lots of tenant enquiry, loving the application process, selecting good quality tenants, renting privately in a short time frame and saving lots of money with ReDIY.
Yes, but at a cost. ReDIY charges less than Domain and gives Private Landlords access to 10 Real Estate sites, for one low cost, until leased.
