Sell My House Privately in WA with PLBO

Sell your house privately in WA with PLBO. One upfront fee from $699 inc GST, no commission, 7 major portals including Domain, and 100% of your proceeds.

Perth has been Australia's standout property market, and WA owners are making the most of it by selling privately! Domain's June 2026 report put Perth's median house price at $1,183,108, up an extraordinary 22.5% in a year. On prices like these, a percentage commission is a big number. PLBO replaces it with one upfront fee, and you keep 100% of your sale proceeds!

Keep the commission in your pocket

The average WA agent commission is about 2.4% of the sale price (AgentBridge, June 2026), and marketing is often billed on top:

WA's Offer and Acceptance, made simple

WA does things its own way, and it's refreshingly straightforward! Buyers make an offer on the Offer and Acceptance (O&A) form, which incorporates the Joint Form of General Conditions for the Sale of Land. When you accept in writing, it becomes the contract (Consumer Protection WA). Private sellers can get the General Conditions from REIWA or the Law Society of WA, and many engage a settlement agent or lawyer to help with the O&A and handle settlement.

Two other WA must-knows:

  • No statutory cooling-off: once accepted, the contract is binding (unless it includes a cooling-off clause).
  • Smoke alarms: compliant, mains-powered smoke alarms must be installed before transfer of ownership (WA Government).

The full list is on the WA legal and tax checklist.

Why West Australians love selling privately

  • Big savings on booming WA prices
  • Certainty: no statutory cooling-off means an accepted offer is a firm deal
  • Total control of price, inspections and the offer you accept
  • Direct conversations: from the patio that catches the Fremantle Doctor to the walk to the beach, you tell the story best

Frequently asked questions

Is it legal to sell my house privately in WA?

Yes. Western Australian owners can sell their own homes without an agent. Sales use the Offer and Acceptance form with the Joint Form of General Conditions, and a settlement agent or lawyer handles settlement.

How much does PLBO cost?

One upfront fee with no commission. Essentials is $699, Signature $1,699, Royal $2,699 and Vertex $3,699, all including GST. You keep 100% of your sale proceeds.

Where will WA buyers see my home?

On PLBO and across Domain.com.au, view.com.au, homely.com.au, soho.com.au, realty.com.au, onthehouse.com.au and allhomes.com.au, plus buyers agents, Facebook campaigns and targeted notifications, depending on your package.

How do I set my asking price?

Use your PLBO property comparables report. It shows recent sales of similar homes near you, so your price is backed by evidence in a fast-moving market.

Is there a cooling-off period in WA?

No. Western Australia has no statutory cooling-off period for residential sales, unless the contract includes one. Once an offer is accepted in writing, it's a binding contract, which gives sellers great certainty.
