  • 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?
  • WA guidance: is the O&A process explained?
