As soon as a property owner decides to sell their property as a for sale by owner through a private real estate sale results in everyone attempting to take advantage of the for sale by owner. There are so many dodgy for sale by owner and private real estate sale websites and services which offer an ordinary service and charge the real estate owner ridiculous fees.

I came across another for sale by owner and private areal estate sale website yesterday called Private Sales Gurus, I am not providing a link as it is not worthy of one. They spruik themselves on providing all the secrets about for sale by owner and private real estate sales. They charge $14.95 a report and of course there about 7 reports which can be packaged up and purchased together.

I briefly had a look at their content and there is nothing there which can not be found on this website or on a real estate agent websites for free. It annoys me that private real estate sale websites like this try and take advantage of for sale by owner property owners.

If you are a for sale by owner who is selling your property through a private real estate sale then before you spend any money have a good look around the internet for free private real estate sale websites as a lot of these websites like Privatepoint have very useful information available at no cost in their blogs.

We held off releasing this section of the website because this is a secondary function of Privatepoint. The primary function of our website is to provide a facility for property owners to submit their property listing. Privatepoint will then send your property listings to 3rd party real estate advertising websites allowing the property owner to update, amend or delete the listing on all of these websites from one central location within their Privatepoint account.

We now feel users understand what Privatepoint is about and because we have over 320 properties it is necessary to release the property search tool. Thanks to everyone for their patience and in particular to the users who sent us an email about including the search tool, your comments were not wasted.
