Hi Alison,
We found GoPrivate to be excellent to deal with, very prompt service and excellent value. The paperwork is easy to understand and the back-up support very helpful. We have already recommended GoPrivate to family and friends and would use GoPrivate again if needed.
Thank you for making our sale smooth and successful.

We were sick of being ripped off by Real Estate Agent sales commissions - but terrified of doing it ourselves. Referred to GoPrivate by a friend, we gave GoPrivate a call. They delivered on all they promised with easy-to-follow examples on completing an Offer and Acceptance, ready phone support, superb photos for the web ad - all done as promised.
I wouldn't sell a property through a Real Estate Agent ever again - it's giving your hard-earned equity away!
Thank you GoPrivate. Thanks to you we are 15k richer!!

I am very pleased with the excellent service provided which resulted in the successful sale of my home.
Mike Kitney, Ferndale
16th June, 2010
The sale of our house went smoothly thanks to the service and advice from GoPrivate, who were always just a phone call away. If we need to sell a house in the future I would use GoPrivate again and would recommend them to anyone else thinking of selling.

We found GoPrivate an easy and efficient way to sell our home. Selling it privately gave us the opportunity to be flexible with home opens and set our own price range. We also knew directly what was happening with the negotiation process - no middle man. Selling through GoPrivate gave us the means to lower our price to draw in the potential buyer because they were able to buy at a lower price as we were not paying real estate 'extortionate' fees.
GoPrivate were so helpful and ready to assist as soon as you called. They were very professional and put our mind at ease with all our queries. They had all the answers which was great. I would definitely use GoPrivate again.
Mark & Joanne Proudfoot, Halls Head
8th June, 2010
GoPrivate were very helpful and provided us with the confidence and support to sell our home in only 4 short weeks. Following GoPrivate's guidelines for a successful sale made the entire sale process very easy.
We would recommend GoPrivate to anyone wanting to sell their home and we would not hesitate to use GoPrivate again in the future.

Excellent internet advertisement. Sold before 1st home open! Saved about $7,000.00.
Ken McLean, Rockingham

Dear Alison,
3 weeks and it sold. We found GoPrivate to be a quick, efficient way to sell. Your representative was pleasant and helpful. We have bought and sold many properties in our lives, both using real estate agents and privately and this sale has by far been the easiest. Having photos on the net is a big advantage for private sellers and as long as the price is set at a reasonable level the property will sell quickly and people will still be in front.
No agent fees makes a huge difference. The secret is: not to be greedy.
Jan & Chris Markby, Cardup
3rd May, 2010
GoPrivate works! It was so much better being in control of our own inspections, allowing people in when it suited us. Of course we made ourselves readily available and who better to sell our house. We know it the best! It really wasn't difficult - the guidelines set for the paperwork were easy to follow. The settlement agent did the rest.
If we sell again in the future, we will definitely use GoPrivate.
Sharon & Darron Sellin, Waroona
3rd May, 2010
GoPrivate has saved me thousands. I highly recommend their services. Thanks to their helpful, professional and prompt advice and action I was able to sell my property (house and land) within days after the sign was put up. The signage is bright, attractive, and raises attention from a great distance. Unless you have thousands of dollars to throw away, why don't you contact GoPrivate. I was mostly impressed with all the forms and paperwork they provide for easy to understand, easy to follow use, by both seller and buyer. The great convenience is also that you determine and control access for people to look through your house when it suits you and them, not when it suits the real estate.
I found real estate agents can be pushy and deceptive and only give you the information you need at the time of contact, leaving out the things written in small print. It's obvious they are trying to sell to make money for themselves - I will never use them again.
Thanks GoPrivate! Hope you keep doing the great work you are doing for a long time - I will definitely be back when I want to sell again and I recommend you highly to everyone at work!
Sincerely,
Regine Andersen, Chidlow
28th April, 2010
A new learning curve with a great company. A chance to save on commission rates and the paperwork explained in simple English. Straight-forward and helpful staff (Rockinghm, WA), and with website/leaflets to pass onto potential buyers - would do this again in a heartbeat.
Many thanks,
Stephen Smedley, Warnbro
13th April, 2010
GoPrivate was professional and friendly from the 1st phone call I made. They answered all my questions, and gave good advice when needed. We will highly recommend GoPrivate to all.
Thank you to all concerned for a truly great service. Yours sincerely,
Paul & Heather de Rooy, Port Kennedy
7th April, 2010
It was so easy to sell my house privately, I was very surprised, and all the information provided by GoPrivate was very easy to understand, and the process of selling the house very efficient. Thank you for all your help.
Daniela Lima, Ballajura
30th March, 2010
The thought of saving thousands of dollars in agent's commission is incentive enough to appy oneself to act the 'agent' with the help of the GoPrivate Team.
Hazel & Brian Bennett, Shoalwater
30th March, 2010
This is a very professional outfit, always helpful and friendly. My property had an offer on the second home open. Needless to say we saved thousands. Well done, and great to deal with GoPrivate.
T. Breed
30th March, 2010
Advice given and service provided by GoPrivate was excellent. Nobody knows your property better than you. Dealing with potential buyers direct answers all the queries first-hand and effectively eliminates silly low offers.
Peter & Glen, Wannanup
3rd March, 2010
This is the 2nd time we have used your company and found it to be so easy and hassle-free, and the savings are terrific. We sold in five weeks and we are very happy with your support.
We recommend your service to all our friends.
Neville & Sandra Ogilvie
26th February, 2010
Having seen GoPrivate in action with a neighbour several years ago when we were selling adjacent properties, I was surprised to see that he sold his home before mine and without extensive agent's fees.
I put my house on the market with GoPrivate and within a day sold the property for the price I wanted. GoPrivate is the way to go.
A Happy Ex-Homeowner, Norman McVeigh, Bertram
22nd February, 2010
It was easy. The staff were helpful. We found it very convenient, someone drove by late afternoon and wanted to have a look, gave us a call and came straight away. Loved it and put an offer in. You can't do it like that with an agent.
Highly recommend GoPrivate.
Trina Preedy, Rockingham
5th February, 2010
We were very impressed with GoPrivate's professional and timely service. Our property 'for sale' sign was on-site within hours, and we sold after the first home open. GoPrivate's website listing ensured that our property appeared on Google Real Estate, and we avoided donating thousands of dollars to a real estate agent!
Ian, Nollamara
4th February, 2010
We would like to thank Joe and his team from GoPrivate for the amazing, fantastic help and guidance we received. If there ever was doubt in my mind about selling our home ourselves, through GoPrivate, Joe certainly proved and showed us that with help and experience nothing can go wrong. He was there for us any time of the day and evening. To top all of that off, we saved many thousands of dollars.
So once again Joe and team, we say thank you very much for everything. Keep up the good work.
Regards,
Brigitte Schimmel & Zillah Hawksley
3rd February, 2010
I would highly recommend GoPrivate to assist you in selling your own property. I found GoPrivate to be a very professional service, providing all the necessary requirements and advice to sell my property. They were very friendly, prompt and efficient, and always available to provide advice or assistance if needed.
GoPrivate saved me thousands of dollars and allowed me to be in control of selling my own house with professional back-up advice and support.
Thank you GoPrivate,
Robyn Borger, Shoalwater
25th January, 2010
GoPrivate made me an offer to use their services after they were made aware that my original self-sell provider closed. I received a personally tailored service, with adequate signage, and made a sale in 2 months. The information and encouragement I received supported my efforts, even though I retained full control of the process.
Joy Rouse, Thornlie
14th January, 2010
I found your staff to be very professional and very knowledgable on properties for sale within the local area. They were able to answer all questions/enquiries I had and were always helpful on all occasions when I phoned or popped into the office.
Thanks for everything,
Ann & Gary Brennan, Waikiki
21st December, 2009
Most people have a go at selling their car, why not your house? For $600 or whatever it is, why not have a go? $600 to lose, $13,000 to save, not bad odds.
As for the service, they provide you with what you need, nothing more or less.
Greg Donno, Secret Harbour
15th December, 2009
I was very happy in my dealing with GoPrivate. I found them to be friendly, helpful and professional in their approach. The overall package was clean and concise, full of very useful information and it guided me every step of the way towards the sale of my property. Their advice also helped me to ward off predatory Estate Agents of which there was quite a few once my sign went up.
My property sold quickly thanks to the guidance from GoPrivate, I do not hesitate to recommend them to any would-be seller.
Dominic Bell, Rockingham
9th December, 2009
I would, and already have, highly recommended GoPrivate. Their friendly, helpful and supportive advice gave me the confidence to act as my own agent, thus saving thousands of dollars in fees. The selling pack provided was clear, informative and easy to use.
Thank you,
Lynn Smith, Rockingham
7th December, 2009
Having had some horrendous dealings with real estates and their so-called 'Investment Property Management Portfolios', we were definitely not going to put our trust into their hands again to help us sell our property. There had to be a far better way that we could take control ourselves.
Several of my work colleagues suggested contacting 'GoPrivate', as they had had amazing results selling their properties. When I called 'GoPrivate' just to enquire, I was overwhelmed with how much information, advice and help I received. Nothing was too much trouble. Within a few days, we had signed up with 'GoPrivate' and we were all ready to start selling our property.
Yes, we had to put in some time for our home opens, but 'GoPrivate' were only a phone call away and gave us all the necessary paperwork and advertising material required. We saved thousands and managed the selling of our property the way we wanted. It really wasn't as daunting as we had imagined and in all honesty, it really was a lot easier than we could ever have thought.
We would like to sincerely thank all the staff at 'GoPrivate' for there unwavering support, knowledge and friendliness, and we highly recommend their services to everyone thinking of selling their property. Please give 'GoPrivate' a call and experience the benefits.
Thank you,
Wayne & Lea, Warnbro
7th December, 2009
We thoroughly recommend the service of GoPrivate. The information, signage, forms was all that we needed to sell our home. The staff were all courteous and efficient. The final result says it all - we sold our home in just a few days and for the price we wanted.
Thank you,
Megan Arrowsmith, Bentley
7th December, 2009
We recently sold our home in Baldivis through the GoPrivate service. Having sold a number of homes over the years, it was an absolute delight to be able to sell this home, and to personally highlight the positive aspects of the home to potential buyers that an agent may have missed.
GoPrivate provided us with all the signage, the necessary Real Estate forms as well as with the relevant information, support and practical framework to promote and complete the sale in a most professional way. In addition to this excellent format, we saved thousands of dollars in Real Estate agent fees.
We most heartily recommend GoPrivate to anyone planning to sell their property.
Gordon & Lara Bassett, Baldivis
30th November, 2009
I have sold one property with a Real Estate Agent and two properties with GoPrivate. With a successful sale both times, with ease, I would not hesitate in using GoPrivate again in the future. I was very happy with the service and more importantly saved thousands of dollars.
David Frost, Secret Harbour
23rd November, 2009
I can recommend GoPrivate to anyone intending to sell a property. I saved thousands of dollars and found that any advice I required was only a phone call away. Most of my enquiries were through the website followed by the sign at the front of the property.
I would definitely use GoPrivate again.
Steven Milne, Safety Bay
17th November, 2009
We thank GoPrivate for their advice and help with the sale of our house. The folder of information was very helpful and we had no trouble with the home opens or the offer and acceptance procedures. The staff were always helpful and available to discuss whatever we needed to know.
Neil & Jenni Maslij, Baldivis
12th November, 2009
We found GoPrivate to be very friendly, professional and very helpful in all aspects of selling our house. We had a good response to all our home open inspections, due to their up-to-date website, with quality photos and a detailed description of our property.
The buyers of our property had viewed our house on the GoPrivate website, came for an inspection and made a cash offer which we accepted.
Peter & Julie Geikie, Halls Head
12th November, 2009
I found the support pack and service support to be very helpful. Our house sold very fast and we were pleased with the outcome.
One suggestion would be to have an option with the condition annexures to be separate so that you can choose which you want to use and not have to show your buyer all of them (some did not apply).
Belinda Fitzpatrick, Carlisle
29th October, 2009
After getting 3 different real estate agents to give us quotes on selling our 3 bedroom home in Warnbro, we decided we just couldn't justify the $11,000 in fees they wanted.
Before taking the plunge and selling our home ourselves through GoPrivate, we were extremely nervous about our abilities to do so. After our first meeting with GoPrivate most of these worries were relieved. Very helpful and friendly, genuine people. And really what else can we say; GoPrivate put our for sale sign up on Friday afternoon and by midday Saturday we had accepted an offer.
Over $9,000 still in our pockets, not a real estate agents'.
Samara Templeman & Neville Ready, Warnbro
29th October, 2009
During our time with GoPrivate we found them most helpful. Andy was clear and easy to understand. Alison was also incredibly helpful and pleasant, even after a number of calls often asking the same question. We have appreciated their help, patience and understanding.
I would recommend GoPrivate. We have saved ourselves a lot of money and time.
Mark & Bronwyn Andrzejski, Port Kennedy
26th October, 2009
I would like to say how impressed my husband and myself have been with the service we have received from all staff at GoPrivate. Over the past few years we have sold 3 properties in this manner, saving us literally thousands of dollars, which has been a real blessing, and any help needed was provided very promptly.
I would recommend GoPrivate to anyone very highly, and we have already encouraged friends and neighbours to do this with the same good results.
Thank you GoPrivate,
B.A. & J Leslie, Kelmscott
26th October, 2009
Thank you for your help and advice on selling our house ourselves. You made it easy and straight-forward with the information and advice you supplied us. We saved a lot by using GoPrivate which allowed us to accept a lower price by not paying commissions which also allowed the buyer to save a few dollars.
Alan & Anne Clayden, Safety Bay
15th October, 2009
Thank you for your service and help whilst selling our house. Every time I rang you were helpful, polite and professional.
I hope GoPrivate goes from strength to strength.
Peter & Glenis Tourney, Mandurah
8th October, 2009
You gave excellent advice for the sale of the property. Great photos for the website and we just did as your company advised. 6 weekend home opens and we had a buyer with an offer above my lowest sale price.
Secret Harbour Settlements sorted out the sale very well, keeping me informed all the way and were great to deal with and at a good price.
I certainly would utilise GoPrivate's services in the future.
Peter Bygrave, Rockingham
8th October, 2009
We have sold 3 properties with GoPrivate and once again they made it SO easy. With all their professional help and support it was a breeze.
Thank you to you all and we have already spread the word - 'GoPrivate'!
Vicki & Chris Olivieri, Rockingham
24th September, 2009
I think GoPrivate is really good. Good service, nice and quick, and so cheap compared to real estate agents. The photos were nice on the internet and we can't complain when we sold within 4 days of putting our house on the market.
So a big thank-you to you and the GoPrivate team.
Keely & Michael Cox, Warnbro
18th September, 2009
We have been very happy with the service provided by GoPrivate. Their information package contained everything we needed to know. The staff were more than helpful.
We will definitely be using them again in the near future. Thanks guys.
Jean Mossop, Secret Harbour
18th September, 2009
We are very happy to recommend GoPrivate. This is the second successful sale that we have had using this system. On both occasions we achieved a better price than was offered whilst the properties were previously listed with an agent. Factor in the thousands that we also saved in agent commissions, it's easy to see why we are happy.
Our best advice to new GoPrivate sellers would be...ensure your property presents well and be realistic with your price.
Julie & Phil Rubie, Halls Head
7th September, 2009
We would certainly recommend GoPrivate to anyone thinking of selling their property. We found the whole experience straight-forward, with help at the end of the phone when needed.
Dealing directly with the purchasers meant we were able to answer their questions immediately which was a great help to them.
Thanks again,
Bill & Marjorie Gross, Serpentine
3rd September, 2009
GoPrivate gave me the confidence and back-up for me to procede with and successfully sell my home. They were always as close as a telephone call away and their positive and friendly assistance was wonderful.
Thank you to all the staff at GoPrivate,
Wendy Wylie, Lesmurdie
20th August, 2009
We found your service to be very quick and helpful. We will definitely consider your service in the future if we ever decide to sell a property again.
Thank you for your service!
Brett & Marnie Sletten, Port Kennedy
18th August, 2009
We have just sold our 3rd home with GoPrivate. Everything went very smoothly; they supplied all the paperwork, signs, plus all the advice anyone could need. Buyers who saw our house advertised on the GoPrivate website were particularly impressed with the coverage. The photos of the property really showed the house to its best advantage.
Selling through GoPrivate gave us the satisfaction of doing it ourselves, plus we saved so much on agent's fees. We'd always highly recommend GoPrivate.
Howard & Jessie Bailes, Parmelia
17th August, 2009
From the first phone call to the end of our sale, GoPrivate was fantastic. Their staff are all friendly and helpful. I also liked the way when I had to phone on a Sunday, I got prompt, helpful service.
I have no hesitation in recommending GoPrivate.
Leonie & John Wilson, Dawesville
17th August, 2009
Extremely pleased with service provided which was given with the minimum of fuss and procedures were explained very simply but thoroughly. Would be very pleased to use their services in the future if required.
Derek & Phyllis Catlow, Rockingham
7th August, 2009
GoPrivate are an extremely professional and well organised company, who support their clients with such a personal touch as well. I would sincerely recommend GoPrivate to anyone wanting to sell their home. They were available for support 24/7, which I believe is very rare!
Kind Regards,
Adam & Kerry Lippitt, Kinross
6th August, 2009
I'm happy I went with GoPrivate because I had my property on the market for 6 months through real estate, then I went to GoPrivate and it sold in 3 weeks.
Thanks you,
Luke & Chelsey Retallack, Port Kennedy
4th August, 2009
We could see that selling privately was a great option by saving heaps in fees, but most appealling to us was the total control of who was coming into the house & when we decided to open & take offers.
With all the above considered we decided it was the way to go but felt our expertise in this field limited so with this in mind we contacted GoPrivate. From our very first contact with them everything ran smoothly, the process was relevant & invaluable. Nothing was left unexplained & the support which was offered gave us confidence that if something did go 'pear shaped' we had back-up all the way. Don't believe the old chestnut 'I am too busy to sell myself', we found we still had to have the house spick & span for inspection but the best part is you also have a one-on-one communication with potential buyers without the middle-man bringing in unrealistic offers for you to consider which takes up time & makes the whole process stressful & longer. We found we had less communication & people bothering us ie agents than we ever had previously. If you do your homework in pricing & presenting the property you will sell...we did, in 4 weeks!!
We have no hesitation in recommending GoPrivate to anyone. We have another property to sell at a later date & will only consider this method ever. Give it a go, you have nothing to lose & a great deal to gain with the added satisfaction of knowing you did it yourself...too easy!!!
Maree Reid & Gordon Newton, South Yunderup
30th July, 2009
We found this a great way to go, especially the money we saved. Impressed with staff members, the website is great. We liked that we got to meet who looked round our house, and as we have better knowledge of our house its better for the buyer.
Thanks for all your help,
Kathy & Tal, Cooloongup
28th July, 2009
It was our 1st time selling a property with GoPrivate, & we must say the staff were very helpful indeed. If we ever needed some help there was always somebody there very willing & able to help us out.
We wouldn't hesitate to use GoPrivate again to sell a property, everything went along smoothly.
Mr & Mrs Dawson, Hillman
27th July, 2009
To Carl, Joe, Alison & Andrew,
Thank you all for your help & support whilst selling our house this year '09, also we were very happy with the photos taken by Andrew & appreciated the friendly customer service that was available by all the staff.
Many thanks & future success with your company.
Best wishes,
Annetta & John Penrose, Canning Vale
27th July, 2009
Very, very happy with your service.
Had offer second week, only opened 4 more times till buyer's house was sold. Will tell people of your service.
Sales Rep was very obliging & helpful. Recommended moving to Rockingham area which I did so should be happy.
Joy Stonehouse, Embleton
27th July, 2009
Wow, my property sold after the first ad. I saved thousands of dollars by doing the opening myself.
I found GoPrivate friendly, helpful and very easy to deal with. They explained everything very clearly.
I would recommend GoPrivate to anyone who is thinking of selling their property and wants to save lots of money.
Martina Prentice, Waikiki
16th July, 2009
Aside from the significant saving associated with not selling through a real estate agent, selling privately with GoPrivate removed the frustration of working through a middleman. Being able to negotiate and deal directly with the buyer has allowed the sale to proceed very smoothly.
The resources provided by GoPrivate help make the process quite straight-forward.
Katy Jackson & Steven Richardson, Rockingham
9th July, 2009
We found GoPrivate to be very professional and helpful, especially with explaining the process involved. I could not believe how easy the private sale of a house is and I'm glad I did not have to pay a ridiculous commission to greedy real estate agents.
Thanks for all your help.
Ben & Emma Slywa, Baldivis
3rd July, 2009
I had the house listed with an agent for 6 months, and sold it myself in 6 weeks.
It's great to be able to pay the fee on settlement.
Brian & Tiffany McLean, Halls Head
3rd July, 2009
GoPrivate provided us with the materials in order to sell our home. The advice given to us was very valuable. The coverage for advertising was good.
At the end of the day I felt in control whilst selling my home. The team at GoPrivate were always on hand if required. I would strongly recommend selling your home this way, and the money saved compared with using real estate agents...
Claire & John Timperley, Port Kennedy
29th June, 2009
A very professional service from our experience, and friendly staff. Contact was regularly made by the staff to monitor how our sale was going and if there was anything else they could do to help.
Well-presented details on website and a nice feeling at the end when we weren't up for thousands of dollars in commission fees. Thanks GoPrivate!
Paul & Alison Nash, Mandurah
16th June, 2009
I found GoPrivate to be friendly, available and very helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Real estate agents really are self-promoting companies - which are not needed or necessary.
Linda Summers, Mount Hawthorn
15th June, 2009
I have now sold 3 houses with the assistance of GoPrivate, for a total saving of about $30k in agent's fees. Carl St Jack and the team at GoPrivate are always on hand with help and advice in a very cordial and timely manner.
I recommend GoPrivate to everyone I meet who is contemplating a property sale.
Malcolm Liddell, Port Kennedy
5th June, 2009
Thank you all for the pleasant experience of selling our house ourselves. You made it all very easy and straight forward. All we had to do was keep the lawns and gardens tidy and the house clean, then wait for the phone calls. How easy is that?
Would go with you again sometime in the future.
Laurie & Heather North, Inglewood
22nd May, 2009
Very supportive, great team! Always prompt at sending forms, info and returning phonecalls/emails. I enjoyed having control over selling my own house/home.
Natalie & Alan King, Port Kennedy
18th May, 2009
My wife and I found GoPrivate to be extremely helpful, approachable and friendly. From Andy, the sales representative, to the fantastic administration team, our house sold in four days!
We would recommend GoPrivate to anyone. Thank you for your professionalism and support.
Robert & Mika Poole, Beldon
8th May, 2009
Carl and the team, thank you very much. After just nine home opens we had a good offer which resulted in a sale. The buyers saw Andy's pictures on the internet and came right away. They liked our home and made up their minds right away.
Thank you all once again for all your help.
Best wishes,
Audrey & James O'Callaghan, Warnbro
29th April, 2009
I sold our home in 7 months with no home opens at all. I also listed it at a price $20,000 more than the agents' had appraised it for, and I only dropped it $10,000 to make the sale. So I saved $17,000 on agent's fees and made an extra $10,000 on the suggested list price.
All too easy, anyone can do it, straight forward really.
Paul Glover, Busselton
29th April, 2009
I found GoPrivate easy to deal with, and the services they provide, including support material, worthwhile, culminating in the successful sale of my house.
Peter Edwards, Waikiki

I found GP to provide all the support I needed in making the sale of my house a simple and inexpensive transaction.
Wade Barker, Cooloongup
9th April, 2009
I am happy to report that I made big savings on the sale of my house by choosing to sell through GoPrivate. The key to success is to set a realistic price which will attract potential buyers.
Andrew Van Herk, Leda
7th April, 2009
Firstly, I saved $10,000 by selling the house myself. GoPrivate not only supplied all the paperwork but were also helpful every time I phoned. I would do it again. I could not have done it if I did not have the contract ready supplied by GoPrivate.
So I thank you very much and will recommend you.
Pat Wood, Boddington
3rd April, 2009
Thanks to the team at Rockingham. GoPrivate gave us flexibility that we could not have achieved through an agent and got us a 'win - win' result. We are happy - the purchasers are happy.
Great result and in only 10 weeks.
Noel & Sylvia Robinson, Erskine
26th March, 2009
Great selling advice, excellent photos for website, cheap, 3 home opens and sold. Very happy.
Jeff Campbell, Bertram
20th March, 2009
Thanks Jamee and Carl for honest, informative guidance through the selling process, your signage is eye catching and website good. Pity you can't advertise on REIWA, but its good to see a company like yours giving alternative selling options instead of agents only.
Keep up the good work and I hope GP prospers.
Paul Brown, Falcon
13th March, 2009
Third time I have used this service and found it effective, easy and efficient. Sold latest property within 3 months. Who needs a real estate agent!
Thanks for your help,
Rex Oliver, Rockingham
12th March, 2009
We were very happy and impressed with the service provided to us by GoPrivate in Rockingham. Everyone we talked or dealt with were extremely helpful and friendly.
The free appraisal was terrific and enabled us to be confident in our chosen selling price. We were also told of helpful hints during the appraisal to make our property more appealing to potential customers.
Due to the very low fees we paid to GoPrivate in selling our house we were able to price our house in a price range which was very attractive to buyers and therefore sold our house after the first home open! We didn't have to worry about paying an exorbitant agent's fee.
Joeri, Rockingham
12th March, 2009
I received an extremely professional service from all the staff at GoPrivate. They were extremely helpful with all my queries & always willing to go the extra mile.
I have recommended GoPrivate to a number of my friends & workmates and I will certainly use this service again in the future.
Sheila Cummins, Murdoch
10th March, 2009
Opened house 4 times, had 4 offers, sold our price, cash. Could not have been easier. Have recommended GoPrivate to other friends. Would do it again. Had no problems at all.
Russell & Kathryn, Willetton
20th January, 2009
The whole 'GoPrivate Team' were friendly and knowledgable. We sold our property after 3 weeks as the $10,000 commission that we didn't have to pay out to a real estate agent, could be passed onto our buyers!
Neil & Fiona, Hillman
15th January, 2009
From the first telephone call, this family owned and run business, has been both courteous, and professional, keeping contact ensuring we had all we needed, given lots of encouragement in these difficult economical times.
We can highly recommend them and surely will. We wish them many years of successful business.

What a great way to sell. We sold 3 houses in 3 years this way. The longest took 6 weeks.
HINTS: Do stringent market research, look at local prices. Go and look at builder's displays - that is how your house should be presented. No photos, no towels, no kettle/toaster on show, not even soap!! Get rid of all the clutter, pack and store it. You are moving anyway! Right? Have your house open 2.5 - 3.5 hours each Sunday.
This method has worked for us.

Thank you so much. I wish I knew about GoPrivate when I was first thinking of selling, especially wasting 4 months with an agent who really didn't care about selling my property. I had more people interested & coming through. Also great support team for any questions. If I was doing this again I would definitely use GoPrivate. Really what do Real Estate Agents do differently than what I did & for huge fees, they can keep dreaming. Was not hard at all.

The following testimonial & two poems were sent in by one of our favourite customers, Kathleen Poulson, who has sold her property at 13 Golf Place, Cooloongup, and is moving to Victoria.
Many thanks to the team at GoPrivate who made selling my home a breeze & by saving agent's commission I was able to reach a realistic price in the depressed market.
Once more many thanks, I wish you all success.
K.P
To sell your home, I do insist,
Put GoPrivate on your list,
With no commission, drop your price,
The buyers' will think that's very nice,
With less outlay, you then will find,
Your settlement will prove very kind,
And leave other Agents far behind,
Now let's introduce you to the team,
They all are helpful, so very keen,
Rank very high in my esteems,
Andy will come into your home,
Then with his camera he will roam,
Such lovely photos he will produce,
With these, the buyers he will seduce,
Then putting them on GoPrivate site,
For all to view come day or night,
Joe is responsible for all ads,
He is such a hardworking lad,
He will choose the photos sure to lure,
The buyer's attention, can't ask for more,
Carl is the principal, also boss,
Who will guide you through without a loss,
A tower of strength & there for you,
Ensuring that the sale goes through,
He rectified all my bad errors,
And fixed the forms that gave me terrors.
Just for a laugh!!
There is a fellow there named Andy,
He is quiet charming, though very randy,
That's why he keeps his girlfriend handy,
She runs the salon, just next door,
So where is Andy, say no more,
Joe is such a likeable lad,
He loves his job and does the ads,
Also nice & fancy-free,
If I were young he'd marry me,
One day a girlfriend he will find,
Who will make him happy, he is so kind,
Last not least is Carl the boss,
His brain will never gather moss,
He even fixed this great dead loss,
Drop-dead handsome & a great scout,
I bet his wife won't let him out,
He was on leave for a few weeks,
So his advice I could not seek,
Now he had better no more roam,
But just stay put & sell your home,
I say hail fellow & well-met,
One day a million I hope you get.
K.P.
DEAR GOPRIVATE,
Thank you for all you've done to help me sell our house. It was so easy at the end and all my worries were for nothing.
Thanks for all the help from everyone, all questions were seen to and answered and my bank account is much healthier as I've saved so much cash doing it myself.
Thanks to one and all.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
We liked the unique concept of 'GoPrivate', allowing the owner to set their own price, open home times to suit the owner and the buyer, not the odd half an hour per week as with an Estate Agent, as is the norm. The advice we were given by 'GoPrivate' when we signed up with them, proved to be very useful, as it is at the time a very depressed market, the advice was to set a realistic price, get in front of the market, don't chase a falling price, (as I have seen many homes in our area do this and are still unsold), and have the home open at weekends for maximum viewing coverage.
After being with a large Estate Agent for 3 wasted months, the house was overpriced to cover the agent's massive fees, plus the bargaining mark up. Over the three months only two buyers looked over the house with no offers on the house, the agent did not have one home open during the three months, typical agent too many homes on their books to service that amount of clients. We found it very satisfying meeting prospective buyers face to face and able to talk to and negotiate directly with the client, not wasting time running back and forth with offers and counter offers.
With GoPrivate's fees we were able to offer our house at a realistic figure, have an open home all weekend, many of the buyers were attracted by the Home Private signs we put out, plus others from the advertising. The first weekend we opened we had four times as many prospective buyers than we had using the agent over three months. After a month we had the home under offer, it's now sold. The amount of prospective buyers we had through our home in one month was incredible when compared to our previous attempt to sell our home.
My advice to any prospective seller would be to use 'GoPrivate' sooner not later as we did, after trying to use an estate agent and wasting valuable time.

HI TO ALL YOU GUYS AT GOPRIVATE
We have sold our house in Mindarie after only 35 days advertising. With the help of Sue we opened our home in confidence and was very surprised at the overwhelming response from the advert in the Sunday Times and the sales board at the front of the property. The Go Private web page did our property justice with excellent photography. I have already suggested to other sellers in my street to follow suit and wish them as much success as we've had. Many Thanks Guys and future success with your company. May we wish you a Very Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.
Kindest Regards,
Mary & Bryan
HI GUYS
Its Rebecca here from Strelley Place, Olive Grove Estate, Guildford. The house has sold. Thank you very much for making it nice and easy and we saved ourselves $14,500. Everyone joined to GoPrivate that I have delt with have been so very helpful and you should all be very happy with yorselves for the great company you have made. Friends of ours, 2 different couples are signing up with you as they were also very impressed and watched our whole process from start to finish. Natalie Briggs from Frontline Settlements has been absolutely fantastic - she took the stress out of selling a house, she deserves a gold medal for her perfection and care and the best people skills I have ever had to deal with. Word of mouth is the best marketing pitch.
Thank you very much and kind regards

DEAR SUE AND TEAM,
Just to let you know our home at 22 Cawarra Crescent, Craigie, WA is under offer. We have been very impressed with the professional service from your company, 'Go Private', and the quick sale of our home in a soft market season is a testimony as to how well our home was marketed etc, and we thank you for your help and support. We have and will continue to tell others about you. Only on Sunday was a Real Estate Investor looking at our home in preparation to sell his two houses, and telling us we were selling too cheap, and we were able to testify to the wonderful saving we were making by selling through 'GoPrivate' and therefore we were able to offer our home at a more reasonable price. He took a pamphlet and was going to look into selling his home this way. His comment was "Real Estate Agent's have had it their own way far too long". Within 2 hours our home had sold!!!!
Our warm thanks and acknowledgement to Sue,who marketed our home so beautifully. She was professional but had that warm, personal 'touch'. Well done; thanks Sue!!
Thanks again guys, we will use you in the future!
Kind Regards,
Marilyn and Robin Waite
TO THE GOPRIVATE TEAM,
We have recently had our third success with GoPrivate, selling our home in Halls Head. We have now sold twice and purchased once through your company. Bruce and I commend you on your professionalism and your excellent customer service, which is always of an extremely high standard. We always highly recommend you to anyone who asks about your company. We always find the process simple and hassle free, savings thousands of dollars in the process. We are moving interstate, hence the sale of the house and we just wanted to say a big thank you for all your assistance and friendly professional help with all of our transactions.
Best Wishes From,
Janice & Bruce White,

Thank you for guiding us through the process of selling our unit. We were very impressed with the help and support you offered and we can’t believe how easy it was to sell the unit ourselves. We can highly recommend your company.

Thanks for all your help.
I very much appreciate your advice during the period, your help in getting a new sign when vandals destroyed the other and the professional way we were treated, I would certainly recommend using you - it isn't easy selling homes and guidance is definitely needed.

CARL,
Just to advise you that our property at 32 Woodhouse Way, Noranda has been SOLD. I am a bit slow in notifying you formally. Thank you for your assistance. I am very satisfied with GoPrivate as a way of selling my property.
Thank you,

HI CARL AND JEREMY AND THE TEAM,
Thanks for a great service! There's a huge difference between paying $1500 and $15000! I would recommend GoPrivate to anyone selling... Your service is professional and friendly, and we thank you for saving us around $14,000!
Christine & Alex,

Thank you all for your friendly and professional support. Never for a moment did we feel pressured or alone in our undertaking, yet did feel that we had full control over the sale and when we wanted to open our home. Our buyer's husband is overseas, so with her brother and sister-in-law we met on neutral territory of a nice café, and quickly after the initial formal handshake did business over hugs, laughter and a couple of coffees – surely the most wonderfully civilised way to behave, and something we will never forget (and hopefully even repeat).
Cliff and Kathy,
Dudley Park
I would like to say how fantastic your service is – we sold in 3 days before the first newspaper ad appeared and didn't need to do a home open – fab! We were confident that we had your support and all our questions were answered thoroughly and in the end, filling out the Contract for Sale was easy. The whole process was very quick and simple and I would recommend anyone to give it a go before using a real estate agent. Thanks again – we saved over $11,000 by using you!

DEAR CARL & TEAM,
I wish to thank you all for the wonderful support you gave me in selling my unit recently. I could highly recommend you to anyone thinking of selling their property themselves – with the great backup and support you took all the worry out of it.
All the best!

We would like to thank Carl and his staff at GoPrivate for their support with selling our home in Safety Bay, our home was only listed for 1 1/2 weeks on your web site before we had an offer, this offer led to the sale.
GoPrivate provided an easy and hassle free way to sell our home, again thank you.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend GoPrivate to anybody considering selling their property,
Sue & Paul Simmons
Tom, I have been involved in Real Estate for some 30 years, buying and selling property as an investor. I found your professionalism and integrity, in helping me sell my block of land in Geraldton, to be second to none. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to any clients that would like to have you as their representative.
