  5. Go live! Your listing reaches buyers on PLBO and across Domain, view, homely, Soho, realty, onthehouse and allhomes*, plus buyers agents, Facebook campaigns and targeted notifications, depending on your package.

Why portal coverage matters

Queensland attracts buyers from every state, and they don't all use the same website. PLBO lists your home across all seven major portals, giving you every chance of reaching the right buyer, wherever they're searching from.

Choosing an FSBO platform: a quick checklist

  • Exposure: which portals are included in your package?
  • Buyer reach: can buyers agents and interstate buyers find you?
  • Pricing help: do you get a property comparables report?
  • Tools: messaging, inspection registration and offer management?
  • Presentation: is professional photography available?
  • Pricing: one upfront fee, with no commission?
  • Queensland guidance: are the Form 2 and smoke alarms explained?

PLBO ticks every single box!
