The Best Way to Advertise a Property on Realestate.com.au & Domain.com.au

This article provides you with the basic steps to list your property or place an ad on realestate.com.au and domain.com.au as a private landlord or property owner. RentBetter offers a low cost and highly effective solution for you to advertise your property so you can find and manage tenants or buyers without using an agent.

‍

The first step is to maximise exposure for your ad to increase visits, enquiries, then convert those to tenants or buyers. There is a pretty simple answer for where to advertise to maximise exposure - on realestate.com.au and domain.com.au.

‍

Using these two sites is like ‘standing on the shoulders of giants’. They have done all the hard work of attracting prospective tenants and buyers to their sites so you can take advantage of the high volume of traffic.

‍

There are of course other sites, and even some free ones, but our experience is that they offer a low quality of applicant and low volume of traffic, so it ends up being a waste of time rather than adding any value in this process.

What is included in a property advertisement?

The ad structure is largely determined by the template used by the property sites, but it covers the following components:

‍

Headline: A short catchy title for the property that highlights its best features e.g. “North bright facing balcony for entertaining”
Description: The main facts you want the prospective tenant or buyer to know about the property. It doesn’t need to be ‘war and peace’ and you don’t need to go over the top with details
Price and bond: The weekly rent and amount to be held as bond (generate a report on recent property prices in your area here)
Date available: When is the property available?
Dimensions: Property type, bedrooms, bathrooms, parking etc.
Inspection times: You can set specific times for people to view the property, or leave this blank if you prefer people to contact you
Photos: Because photos are front and centre of your ad, we have dedicated the following blog article to tips and hints on taking photos.

How do I decide on the price for my property?

How do I manage my property without using an agent?

Property management is not rocket science. Each state has specific processes and procedures outlined to help you manage your own property. We have outlined 'The Big 4' basics to renting out your own property that can be found here.

‍

RentBetter helps to automate many of these processes, but you can start by advertising your property on the major property sites (realestate.com.au and domain.com.au). From there you will receive enquiries and applications, and you can run tenant checks on the shortlist of applicants to help you select the right tenant.

‍

Then use a standard lease agreement to set up the terms of the lease with your tenant, lodge the bond, complete the condition report and you’re ready to start collecting rent.

‍

RentBetter can help simplify the process using the RentBetter platform. You can set up the terms of your lease and invite your tenant to automate many of the tedious processes related to property management, at the fraction of the cost of a property manager.
