Sell My Property in Queensland: A Private-Sale Guide for Every Property Type

Sell any property privately in Queensland: units, land, acreage, investments, holiday homes and deceased estates. What buyers want and the right PLBO package.

From a high-rise on the Gold Coast to a Queenslander in Paddington, a Sunshine Coast hinterland acreage or an investment unit in Townsville, Queensland has every kind of property. Whatever you own, you can sell it privately with PLBO and keep the commission! Here's what buyers look for in each.

Houses

Queensland house buyers want the land size, bedrooms, bathrooms, air-conditioning, outdoor entertaining, pool, parking and storage. Lead with your best outdoor living shot and use Generate with AI for a description you can personalise. Follow how to sell your house privately in QLD for the full process.

Suggested package: Signature for standard homes, and Royal for family homes in competitive suburbs.

Queenslanders and character homes

Buyers adore VJ walls, high ceilings, wide verandahs, fretwork and polished timber floors. Show them off with rich media, and mention any restoration work. Vertex tells the whole story.

Units and apartments (body corporate)

  • Body corporate details come with your Form 2: levies, the sinking fund, by-laws and insurance.
  • Highlights: views, balconies, pools, gyms, parking and storage.
  • Pricing: your PLBO property comparables report shows recent sales of similar units nearby, and sales in the same building are the best guide.

Brisbane's unit median rose 15.4% in the year to June 2026 to $790,087 (Domain), so unit sellers are in a great spot!

Suggested package: Signature.

Vacant land

Land buyers want the lot size, frontage, slope, zoning, services, flood information and any building covenants. Much of this is in your Form 2 and certificates, so share them early. Add a site plan and street photos.

Suggested package: Essentials.

Acreage and lifestyle property

From the Scenic Rim to the Sunshine Coast hinterland and the Darling Downs, Queensland acreage attracts tree-changers from Brisbane and interstate.

  • Show the lifestyle: the views, sheds, dams, stables and the pool.
  • Water, bores, fencing and land use details matter.
  • Offer appointments for travelling buyers.
  • Tax: the main residence exemption generally covers the home and up to two hectares.

Suggested package: Royal or Vertex.

Tenanted investment property

  • Disclose the tenancy in the Form 2.
  • Give proper notice for inspections under Queensland's rental rules.
  • Choose your buyer: investors value the yield; owner-occupiers want vacant possession.
  • Tax: capital gains tax normally applies.

Suggested package: Signature.

Holiday homes and coastal apartments

From Noosa to the Whitsundays and Port Douglas, holiday properties attract buyers from all over Australia. Sell the lifestyle: the beach, the marina, the rainforest. Your listing reaches buyers nationwide on PLBO and across Domain, view, homely, Soho, realty, onthehouse and allhomes*.

Deceased estates

  • Authority: probate usually comes first.
  • Transparency: your PLBO property comparables report and written offers show beneficiaries how the price was reached.
  • Presentation: clean, simple styling.

Compliance for every Queensland property

  • Form 2 and prescribed certificates before signing
  • Photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarms for homes being sold
  • Pool safety certificate or Form 36 before settlement, where there's a pool

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell a unit privately in Queensland?

Yes. The Form 2 includes community scheme information and a body corporate certificate, so buyers see the levies, sinking fund and by-laws up front.

Can I sell a tenanted property privately?

Yes. The tenancy is disclosed in the Form 2. Give your tenant proper notice for inspections under Queensland's rental rules, and decide whether to target investors or owner-occupiers.

Can an executor sell a deceased estate privately?

Yes, once the executor has authority, usually after probate. A private sale keeps the commission within the estate.

Which PLBO package suits my property?

Essentials for land and simpler listings with your own photos, Signature for most units and standard homes, Royal for family homes in hot suburbs, and Vertex for acreage, waterfront and premium homes.
