Do you allow private sellers on your web site?
NO! Our customers are professionals in the property &
related businesses, so we do not allow private sellers onto our
site. |
|
Do houses really sell off the web?
YES! People will still have to go inside houses to check them out, but
increasingly more and more people use the 'Net for searching
initially. Our agents tell us they
are selling houses to people making enquiries off the web. In fact, 68% of home buyers
go first to the web to do their searching - it's just much more convenient. But they
will always go through an agent to view the house and do the actual
buying. The Web helps to qualify buyers, so the agent has more
time for customers. |
|
How do you find a property on the site?
EASY!
Hit the "for sale" or "for rent" link on our
home page (or the top bar above), and choose from the pull-down
menus to filter what you want. OR enter a desired
street/suburb/postcode using the 'map feature' on the home
page. |
|
Can you find me a property?
SURE CAN! Simply sign up for the FREE "Aussiehomehunt"
service, on the homepage (click here for the link), and we'll
email you matching properties
every week (Friday 9am WST). |
|
What are the rules for non-residents for
buying property in Australia?

|
How up to date is the property information
on your site?
VERY! The information has to be up to date or it's not all that useful. We have
various quality checks and update alerts to ensure the information is valid.
We have also provided our customers with an effective system
which allows agents to keep properties current in real-time. |
|
How do I contact the agent to buy/rent a
property?
EASY! Their mobile, phone, fax, email information is
all clearly displayed on the property page. You can even fill out a form which goes to them
as an email. If they have not contacted you within 72 hours, you
can let us know (we send you a reminder about this to see if
they have responded to you). |
|
I can't load (or print) the suburb trend
charts?
LOADING: you need
the "Virtual Machine" (which
used to come as part of MS browsers) to load the charts. You can
download this for free from the Sun Java Systems web site (click the "Get It Now" button on the right hand side of this page).
PRINTING: the charts are created by java applet "on the fly" so
cannot be printed. To get around this, take a "screen
shot" (hit the "Print Screen" button on your
keyboard) and paste into photo software.
|
|
Why do some suburbs not appear on the
pull-down choices?
ONLY suburbs with properties for
sale/rent on our site appear (so as not to waste your time in
searching). |
|
When I buy something (like the VGO price data) off your site, how secure
or safe are my credit card details?
EXTREMELY! Your credit card details are sent to the bank over a
secure, encrypted connection. aussiehome.com pledge never to give or sell your credit
card details to a third person for any reason. In fact, although a relatively new
phenomenon, giving credit card details over the internet is far more secure than over the
phone or even giving your card to a waiter in a restaurant. To search and purchase this data, please click here. |
