Real Estate agents say that buyers don’t like dealing with private sales

Well they would say that wouldn't they! Our success rates don’t indicate this at all and in fact many buyers say how much they enjoyed talking to the owners about things that only they would know. HomeSell customers are kitted out with everything required to make it simple and comfortable for the buyers.

Does this take up a lot of time?

Regardless of the method you use to market your home, it will still involve a tidy up and some market research on pricing. Whether you hold your own Open Home or fill in an hour wondering how many people went through with an agent, it is still a similar time commitment and saving $15,000-$20,000+ in real estate fees* is a pretty good hourly rate.
