How A-Part Works
Your step-by-step guide to selling or buying property the smarter way.
For Sellers: List & Sell Your Property
No exclusive agency agreement required. Because A-Part charges a flat listing fee with no sales commission, we don't lock you into an exclusive authority. You're free to sell your property any way you choose - through A-Part, privately, through another agent, or all at once. List with us and keep all your options open.
Step 1: Create Your Listing
Register as a seller and use our guided wizard to create your property listing. Add your address, property details like bedrooms, bathrooms, and car spaces, plus a compelling description. If you get stuck, use our free AI assist to get the wording right.
Step 2: Upload Photos & Documents
Upload up to 35 photos of your property. Drag and drop to reorder them, set a primary image, and optionally use our AI enhancement tool to improve image quality. You can also add floorplans.
Step 3: Choose Your Addons
Select from a range of add-ons to get listed as soon as possible. DIY as much as you can and only pay for the add-ons you need:
- Professional photography - Everything you need to list and sell your property
- Premium realestate.com.au placement - The most import addon we recommend to all sellers.
Smart savings: On a $750,000 property, a traditional agent charges around $26,250 in commission and marketing. With A-Part, your listing fee is just $275 plus any add-ons you choose.
Step 4: Go Live
Once your listing is approved, it goes live on A-Part. We then syndicate your listing to major property portals including realestate.com.au (if addon selected). Your property is now visible to thousands of potential buyers.
Step 5: Manage Enquiries & Offers
Receive enquiries via email, SMS, and your dashboard. Buyers can submit formal Letters of Intent (offers) which you can accept, decline, or counter - all from your seller dashboard.
If you've chosen to sell by auction, your dashboard becomes your auction control centre. Set your auction date and time, review registered bidders, and watch bids come in live. Bidding happens in real-time on the platform so buyers can participate from anywhere. You set the reserve price, and once the auction concludes you can accept the highest bid or negotiate with the top bidder directly.
Step 6: Complete the Sale
Once you accept an offer, proceed to exchange contracts with your solicitor or conveyancer. A-Part provides the platform - you keep control of the entire process.
If your property was sold by auction and the reserve price was met, the winning bidder is notified and both parties proceed to exchange contracts. If the reserve wasn't met, you can choose to negotiate with the highest bidder or relist the property for private sale - the choice is yours.

Search our listings by location, price, property type, and features. Every listing includes detailed descriptions, photos, floorplans, and inspection times.
Make an Enquiry
Interested in a property? Send an enquiry directly to the seller. Register for an account to send enquiries and submit offers.
Submit an Offer
When you're ready to buy, submit a formal Letter of Intent through our secure platform. Include your offer amount, conditions, and settlement preferences. The seller will receive your offer immediately.
Some listings show a Buy It Now price — this indicates the price level at which the seller will consider offers, but is not a guarantee of acceptance. The seller may reject any offer for any reason, including conditions attached to the offer, and may select another offer or reject all offers. See our Buyer FAQ for more details.
For auction properties, register as a bidder before the auction begins. Once the auction is live, place your bids in real-time from anywhere. If you're the winning bidder and the reserve price is met, you'll be notified immediately to proceed with the sale. If the reserve isn't met, the seller may contact you to negotiate directly.
Live Auctions
Some properties are sold via live online auction. Register as a bidder, pay the required deposit, and bid in real-time from anywhere. See our Auction Guide for details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is A-Part a real estate agent?
Yes A-Part is a registered real estate agent. We have developed this platform that gives you the tools to sell your property yourself. You remain in full control of the process. We provide the listing platform, portal syndication, and optional professional services - but you handle enquiries, negotiations, and the sale directly.
Do I need to sign an exclusive agency agreement?
No. Because A-Part charges a flat listing fee with zero sales commission, there is no need for an exclusive agency agreement. Traditional agents require exclusivity because their income depends on being the one to sell your property. Since we don't take a cut of the sale price, you're free to sell your property however you like - through A-Part, privately, through another agent, or any combination. You're never locked in.
Do I need a solicitor or conveyancer?
Yes. We strongly recommend engaging a solicitor or conveyancer to handle the legal aspects of your property sale, including contracts, settlement, and any regulatory requirements in your state.
How long does my listing stay active?
Your listing remains active until you sell your property or choose to withdraw it. There are no time limits on how long your property can be listed.
Can I edit my listing after it goes live?
Yes. You can update your listing details, photos, and price at any time from your seller dashboard. Any changes will be synced to property portals like realestate.com.au. If a property is in a live auction, in the interests of fairness to bidders, your only option is to cancel the auction, edit the information and schedule a new auction.
