3 minute read

homesales.com.au has launched a new free to list service for licensed real estate agents. The no-cost offer is ongoing and is open to real estate agents selling residential properties Australia-wide.

There are no contracts, commissions or hidden costs. Agents simply list their properties free on the website which each month leverages the carsales.com Ltd network of sites’ 15-million-plus user sessions*.

homesales.com.au, the property arm of Australia’s No.1 automotive classifieds group carsales.com Ltd, launched in 2009 as a dedicated residential real estate site. Since then the site has grown to feature Australia-wide inventory, including listings from more than 1000 agents.

The latest evolution of the site makes it quick, easy and free for licensed real estate agents. It provides premium exposure for agents looking to target property listings and marketing campaigns towards a vendor-rich and location specific market.

homesales.com.au’s revenue model does not include hefty agent advertising charges or shared commissions. The site leverages its audience and attracts revenue from sources other than real estate agents.

homesales.com.au was carsales.com Ltd’s first foray outside the automotive marketplace. A listed ASX 200 company with a market capitalisation of over $1 billion, carsales’ network of sites attracts more than 15.2 million sessions * each month.

The company also brings to the real estate marketplace more than 10 years of online experience along with cutting edge technology and development resources.

When contacted by B2 Rhett Dallwitz, homesales.com.au General Manager said:

homesales.com.au has a strong audience that are by definition in the market to buy residential properties. Our free to list service gives real estate agents the ability to target these buyers at no cost.

Agents can signup to list by calling 1300 291 914 or visiting www.homesales.com.au and clicking on ‘Agent Signup’.
