When life moves fast, whether it's a new job, a family change or an inherited property, you might need to sell quickly. In Sydney you don't have to accept a cut-price cash offer to move fast. A sharp, well-prepared PLBO private sale reaches buyers across seven major portals within days, and you keep the full market value and the commission!
Fast PLBO sale vs cash buyer
| Fast PLBO private sale | Cash / "we buy houses" buyer | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | full market value, with buyers competing for your home | below market value, which is how they profit |
| Selling cost | one upfront fee, $699 – $3,699 inc GST, plus conveyancing | the price discount |
| Time to go live | days, once your contract and photos are ready | not applicable |
| Settlement | you negotiate it | set by the buyer |
| Control | you choose the buyer and terms | the buyer sets the terms |
| Exposure | PLBO, Domain, view, homely, Soho, realty, onthehouse, allhomes*, buyers agents | one buyer |
On a home at Sydney's June 2026 median of $1,733,891 (Domain), a 5 to 10% cash-buyer discount is roughly $86,700 to $173,400. That's many times the cost of any PLBO package!
