Is listing my property on Propvia really free?

Yes. Listing a residential or hospitality property on Propvia is free for vendors and licensed agents Australia-wide. There are no upload fees, no upgrade tiers, no per-day costs, and no commission paid to Propvia on sale. Vendors only pay their own conveyancer, marketing extras (e.g. professional photography), and any commission they agree separately with their selling agent.

How does free listing on Propvia compare with realestate.com.au and Domain?

realestate.com.au and Domain charge per-listing fees that typically range from $400 to $2,500+ depending on suburb, listing tier, and feature placement. Propvia charges nothing — vendors and agents keep more of their net sale proceeds. Propvia listings also include free AI summarisation, transparent cost-of-living estimates, and pre-inspection disclosure tooling that paid portals do not provide.

Can I list a property as a private vendor without an agent?

Yes. Propvia accepts both agent-led and private-vendor listings. Private vendors complete the same listing form, upload photos, and add their own contact details. Buyers contact you directly through the platform.

Do I need a real estate licence to list?

Not for private sales of your own residential property. If you list on behalf of others, you must hold a current real estate licence in the state where the property is located (e.g. NSW Class 1 or 2 licence, VIC Estate Agent's Licence). Propvia verifies agency credentials at signup.

How long does it take to list a property?

Most vendors complete their first Propvia listing in 5–8 minutes: account creation, address + property details, 3–10 photos, agent/vendor contact details, and publish. Adding a pre-inspection disclosure pack (building & pest, strata report) takes another 2 minutes if you have the PDFs ready.

Will my Propvia listing appear on Google?

Yes. Every published Propvia listing has a unique indexable URL, structured data (RealEstateListing schema), AI-friendly summaries, and is included in our XML sitemap submitted to Google Search Console. Most new listings are crawled within 24–48 hours.

Can I edit or remove my listing later?

Yes. Vendors and agents can edit photos, price, status (for-sale → under-offer → sold), and remove a listing at any time from the My Listings dashboard. Removed listings disappear from public search immediately.

What property types can I list for free?

Residential homes (house, apartment, townhouse, villa, unit), house and land packages, hospitality properties (hotels, pubs, resorts, B&Bs, motels), aged care residences (independent living units, retirement village apartments), and rural lifestyle properties. All categories are free.

Do I need to provide a building & pest report?

No, but listings with a pre-inspection disclosure pack (building report, pest report, strata documents) are flagged with a 'Verified Disclosure' badge and rank higher in Propvia search results. Disclosure uploads are also free.

How do buyers contact me about my Propvia listing?

Buyers send enquiries through the listing's contact form, which forwards directly to your nominated email and phone. You can also display your phone number publicly. Propvia never charges buyers for enquiries.
