Do you allow private sellers on your web site?
NO! Our customers are professionals in the property & related businesses, so we do not allow private sellers onto our site.

Do houses really sell off the web?
YES! People will still have to go inside houses to check them out, but increasingly more and more people use the 'Net for searching initially. Our agents tell us they are selling houses to people making enquiries off the web. In fact, 68% of home buyers go first to the web to do their searching - it's just much more convenient. But they will always go through an agent to view the house and do the actual buying. The Web helps to qualify buyers, so the agent has more time for customers.

How do you find a property on the site?
EASY! Hit the "for sale" or "for rent" link on our home page (or the top bar above), and choose from the pull-down menus to filter what you want. OR enter a desired street/suburb/postcode using the 'map feature' on the home page.

Can you find me a property?
SURE CAN! Simply sign up for the FREE "Aussiehomehunt" service, on the homepage (click here for the link), and we'll email you matching properties every week (Friday 9am WST).

What are the rules for non-residents for buying property in Australia?
WELCOMING! Australia welcomes people living outside the country to purchase homes, apartments and property - for more information, please click here.

How up to date is the property information on your site?
VERY! The information has to be up to date or it's not all that useful. We have various quality checks and update alerts to ensure the information is valid. We have also provided our customers with an effective system which allows agents to keep properties current in real-time.

How do I contact the agent to buy/rent a property?
EASY! Their mobile, phone, fax, email information is all clearly displayed on the property page. You can even fill out a form which goes to them as an email. If they have not contacted you within 72 hours, you can let us know (we send you a reminder about this to see if they have responded to you).

I can't load (or print) the suburb trend charts?
LOADING: you need the "Virtual Machine" (which used to come as part of MS browsers) to load the charts. You can download this for free from the Sun Java Systems web site (click the "Get It Now" button on the right hand side of this page).

PRINTING: the charts are created by java applet "on the fly" so cannot be printed. To get around this, take a "screen shot" (hit the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard) and paste into photo software.

Why do some suburbs not appear on the pull-down choices?
ONLY suburbs with properties for sale/rent on our site appear (so as not to waste your time in searching).

When I buy something (like the VGO price data) off your site, how secure or safe are my credit card details?
EXTREMELY! Your credit card details are sent to the bank over a secure, encrypted connection. aussiehome.com pledge never to give or sell your credit card details to a third person for any reason. In fact, although a relatively new phenomenon, giving credit card details over the internet is far more secure than over the phone or even giving your card to a waiter in a restaurant.
