I'm a web designer and I've been working on a relatively new website for selling homes privately - Housebroker - http://www.housebroker.com.au
Working on this site has got me thinking, what do people (you) think, in general, about the benefits of buying and selling your homes privately?
Does it work?
I understand that there was a similar thread made about this recently, but my questions a little different.
How many of you would use a site like this to advertise your house privately, or would you use a different style of advertising?
What have you found to be the most effective?
Personally, I've noticed that lately website use in this area has increased... maybe this is mostly due to more people having access to the Internet. Maybe it's simply because more of these websites are readily available to the public now.
Or maybe it's simply because less people read the paper, or trust a hand-painted sign left out on the front lawn of a property for sale?
What do you think?
