For sale by owner, or FSBO, means you sell your home directly, with no agent and no commission. In the Northern Territory, where commissions average about 2.8%, FSBO is a brilliant move! With PLBO you get the exposure and tools to run a truly professional campaign, and you stay firmly in the driver's seat.
How FSBO works in the NT
- Choose your PLBO package: Essentials, Signature, Royal or Vertex.
- Engage a conveyancer or lawyer to prepare the approved contract of sale.
- Sort your pool paperwork: a compliance certificate, the documents for older pools, or a statutory declaration if there's no pool or spa.
- Price and list with your PLBO property comparables report and Generate with AI.
- Go live! Your listing reaches buyers on PLBO and across Domain, view, homely, Soho, realty, onthehouse and allhomes*, plus buyers agents, Facebook campaigns and targeted notifications, depending on your package.
- Meet buyers, compare offers, sign and settle, and keep 100% of your sale proceeds!

- Darwin and Palmerston: family homes, elevated tropical homes and a hot unit market (units up 25.6% in the year to June 2026, Domain)
- The rural area: acreage in Howard Springs, Humpty Doo, Berry Springs and Girraween
- Katherine and Tennant Creek: affordable homes for workers and families
- Alice Springs: Central Australian homes with loyal local buyers and relocating professionals
