What does "no commission" actually mean?

You pay a fixed campaign fee up front (from $2,000) and nothing else. No percentage of the sale price, no success fee, no payment at settlement, whatever your property sells for. On a $900,000 Brisbane sale, a traditional agent commission of 2.5% plus GST would be about $24,750.

Can you put my property on realestate.com.au or Domain?

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Both portals sell listing subscriptions only to licensed real estate agencies. It is their commercial policy. SNJ Properties is an advertising business, not a licensed agency, so we cannot upload to them. What we do instead is run paid campaigns on Google and Meta that reach buyers directly, plus a dedicated page for your property. If portal exposure is essential to you, we will refer you to a licensed agency rather than sell you something we cannot deliver.

Then how do buyers find my property?

Through paid search and paid social, which is where buyers spend their time when they are not on a portal. We target people searching for property in your suburb and price band on Google, run Meta and Instagram campaigns against local and interstate buyer audiences, retarget everyone who views your property page, and drive all of it to a page built for your property alone. Every enquiry goes straight to you.

Who conducts the sale and the inspections?

You do. You are selling your own property. You answer the enquiries, hold every open home and private inspection, negotiate, and decide which offer to accept. SNJ Properties supplies advertising only and is not appointed as your agent.

Is it legal to sell my own property in Queensland?

Yes. An owner selling their own property does not need a real estate licence in Queensland. You do still have to give the buyer a compliant seller disclosure statement before the contract is signed and use a properly prepared contract, which is why you engage a solicitor or conveyancer before you advertise.

Who handles the contract and settlement?

Your own solicitor or conveyancer. They prepare the contract, tell you exactly what has to be disclosed for your property, hold the deposit in their trust account and manage settlement. Queensland conveyancing typically costs $900 to $2,000. Engage them before you advertise, not after you have a buyer waiting.

What if I decide I want a full-service agent instead?

Then you need a licensed agency, and we will introduce you to our licensed partner rather than talk you out of it. Selling privately suits owners with time, a clear head about price and a willingness to deal with buyers directly. It is a poor fit under time pressure, for hard-to-price property, or if you live interstate.

Is the campaign fee refundable if the property does not sell?

No. The fee buys advertising production and media placement, and it is spent the moment the campaign runs. That is true of advertising in a commission campaign too, where marketing is billed separately and is payable whether or not the property sells.

What this is

SNJ Properties runs digital advertising campaigns that connect Brisbane property owners directly with buyers. You pay a fixed fee from $2,000 and no commission at any sale price. SNJ Properties is not a licensed real estate agency: the owner sells their own property, conducts every inspection, negotiates directly with buyers, and completes the transaction through their own solicitor or conveyancer.

Read this first

We cannot put you on realestate.com.au. Nobody unlicensed can.

Both major portals sell listing subscriptions only to licensed real estate agencies. That is their commercial policy, not a law. Every flat-fee service that advertises portal listings is itself a licensed agency. That is the whole product they are selling.

So what are you actually paying for?

Advertising that reaches buyers where the portals do not: paid search at the moment somebody is looking, paid social in front of buyers who are not actively searching yet, and retargeting that keeps your property in front of everyone who showed interest. All of it pointed at a page built for your property alone.

It is a different product to a portal listing, not a cheaper version of one. It suits owners who want reach and control without handing over a percentage of the sale.

If you want the portals

Say so and we will refer you to a licensed agency rather than sell you a campaign that does not include what you actually wanted. Around nine in ten Australian property searches start on realestate.com.au or Domain, and for some properties that matters more than the commission does.

We would rather lose the sale than misdescribe what we do.

Premium Brisbane apartment interior staged for a digital-first property sales campaign — Professional photography is included in every campaign

What is included

One fixed fee. Everything the campaign needs.

Production and media, built and run for you. The only thing not included is the part you are keeping: the sale itself.

A dedicated page for your property

Not a tile in a search result. A full page built for your property alone, with the photography, floor plan, map and enquiry form, on a domain we control and can optimise.

Google Ads

Search campaigns against the terms real buyers use (suburb, bedrooms, price band, "houses for sale near me") so your property appears at the moment somebody is looking.

Meta and Instagram advertising

Campaigns targeted at local buyer audiences, upgraders in adjacent suburbs, and interstate buyers looking at Brisbane. This is where buyers who are not actively searching still get reached.

Retargeting

Buyers rarely act the first time they see a property. Everyone who visits your page keeps seeing it across Google display and Meta for the life of the campaign.

Professional photography and floor plan

A real estate photographer, plus a measured floor plan. This is the highest-return spend in any campaign and it is not an optional extra here.

Listing copy and signboard

Copy written for a specific buyer rather than a feature list, and a photographic signboard at the property with your contact details as the enquiry point.

Enquiry routing

Every call, form and message goes directly to you, immediately. We never sit between you and a buyer.

Weekly reporting

Impressions, clicks, page visits, enquiry volume and cost per enquiry. If the campaign is not working you will know in week one, not week six.

Pricing

From $2,000. No commission, at any sale price.

Campaigns are priced on the property, the price band and how much media the campaign needs. Everything is quoted as a fixed number before you commit. There is no percentage anywhere in it.

Advertising campaign

From $2,000

Fixed campaign fee. No commission is payable at any sale price. Larger campaigns, higher price bands and longer media flights are quoted individually.

· Everything listed above, produced and running
· Paid on booking, before production starts
· Nothing payable at settlement, ever
· No lock-in beyond the campaign term

What you would pay an agent

Brisbane commission typically runs 2% to 3.5% of the sale price plus GST. On a $900,000 sale that is roughly $19,800 to $34,650 including GST, and advertising is usually billed on top of it.

Against that, a fixed campaign fee and your conveyancer’s $900 to $2,000 is the whole cost of selling.

Commission figures are indicative Brisbane ranges for illustration only. They are not a quote, and commission is not regulated in Queensland.

Your responsibility

You are the seller. You conduct the sale.

This is the part of the model to read twice. This is not a discounted agency service. It is advertising, supplied to an owner who is selling their own property.

What sits with you

· Setting the asking price and deciding whether to adjust it.
· Answering all buyer enquiries and booking inspections.
· Conducting every open home and private inspection at the property.
· Verifying and supervising everyone who enters the property.
· Negotiating with buyers and deciding which offer to accept.
· Engaging your own solicitor or conveyancer for the contract and settlement.
· Preparing and giving the buyer a compliant seller disclosure statement.
· Ensuring everything you tell us about the property is accurate.

What SNJ Properties does not do

· We are not a licensed real estate agency.
· We do not act as your agent or hold an appointment.
· We do not list on realestate.com.au or Domain.
· We do not conduct open homes or private inspections.
· We do not negotiate with buyers on your behalf.
· We do not hold deposit funds, your conveyancer does.
· We do not provide legal, financial or taxation advice.
· We do not set or recommend your asking price.

How it works

Six steps from decision to settlement.

The order matters, particularly engaging your conveyancer before you advertise rather than after a buyer is waiting.

01
Engage a solicitor or conveyancer
Do this before you advertise, not after an offer arrives. They prepare the contract and tell you exactly what must be disclosed for your property, including any body corporate records. Budget $900 to $2,000.
02
Set your price from real evidence
Collect at least six settled comparable sales from the last 90 days in your suburb and property type, adjust them against your property, and decide your launch price and your genuine walk-away number before anything goes live.
03
Book the campaign
Tell us about the property. We come back with the campaign scope and a fixed fee from $2,000, plus an honest view on whether selling privately suits your situation at all.
04
Production week
Photography, floor plan, copy and signboard are produced, and your property page is built. You approve everything before a dollar of media is spent.
05
Campaign goes live
Google and Meta campaigns start driving buyers to your property page. Enquiries route straight to you. Respond within hours, buyer interest decays fast.
06
You sell it
You hold the inspections, negotiate, and accept an offer. Your solicitor prepares the contract and manages settlement. No commission is payable to anyone.

Is this right for you?

It suits some owners and properties, not all.

We would rather tell you before you pay than after.

Usually a good fit

· You have time to answer enquiries during business hours.
· You can hold inspections on weekends.
· Your property has plenty of comparable recent sales.
· You are comfortable holding a price under pressure.
· You live locally and can access the property easily.

Usually a poor fit

· You are selling under time pressure or a deadline.
· The property is unusual and hard to price.
· You live interstate or overseas.
· The sale involves a separation, estate or dispute.
· Portal exposure is non-negotiable for you.

Fine print

Terms of the advertising model.

These terms are part of the service. Read them before you engage us.

1. SNJ Properties is not a licensed real estate agency. SNJ Properties is a property advertising and marketing business. It is not licensed under the Property Occupations Act 2014 (Qld), does not act as an agent in the sale of any property, is not appointed under a Form 6, and is not entitled to any commission, percentage or success fee on a sale price.
2. The owner is responsible for the sale of the property. The owner remains solely responsible for conducting the sale, including setting the asking price, responding to buyer enquiries, negotiating with buyers, and deciding whether to accept any offer.
3. The owner is responsible for showing the property. All open homes and private inspections are conducted by the owner. SNJ Properties does not attend, supervise or conduct inspections, does not hold keys, and is not responsible for the security of the property or for the conduct, safety or identity of any person who attends it. The owner should confirm that their insurance covers public inspections.
4. No listings on realestate.com.au or Domain. Those platforms accept listings only from licensed real estate agencies. Advertising supplied by SNJ Properties does not include, and is not represented as including, any listing on either platform.
5. Fees are payable in advance and are not refundable. Fees are charged for the production and placement of advertising, not for a sale outcome. They are payable whether or not the property sells, and are not refundable once the campaign has been produced or published.
6. The owner is responsible for the accuracy of property information. All property information published in a campaign is supplied by the owner. The owner warrants that it is accurate and not misleading, and indemnifies SNJ Properties against any claim arising from information the owner has supplied.
7. The owner is responsible for legal compliance and engages their own conveyancer. This includes giving the buyer a compliant seller disclosure statement before the contract is signed and using a properly prepared contract of sale. SNJ Properties does not provide legal, financial or taxation advice. The owner should engage a solicitor or conveyancer before advertising the property.
8. Deposits. SNJ Properties does not receive or hold deposit or purchase funds. Deposits are held in the trust account of the owner’s solicitor or conveyancer.
9. No guarantee of outcome. Nothing on this page or in any campaign proposal is a representation that the property will sell, sell within any timeframe, or achieve any particular price. Advertising performance varies with property, price and market conditions.

These terms are summarised here and set out in full in the advertising agreement provided before any engagement. They were prepared and reviewed by SNJ Legal. See also our Terms of Use, Disclaimer and Privacy Policy.
