Better results for vendors listing on Zango only

Zango’s the new kid on the block in real estate in Canberra. So what’s it like to actually sell your home with Zango? Plenty of people are finding that by listing their property only on Zango, it’s not only saving them money, but they’re attracting more serious buyers - and fast.

All listings on Zango are free until April 30, and plenty of buyers have made the most of the deal by listing only on Zango, and have been blown away by the results. Like Emma, who decided to list her Kambah property for sale exclusively on Zango.

“Zango came highly recommended from my agent, and I trusted her,” says Emma.

“As the site is emerging and as people start to know that's the place to go for property, I wanted to make sure I was a part of that.” 

After just one open home, Emma accepted an offer within three days. While that offer ended up falling through, she had another offer within two days, and sold her house at a price much higher than she expected.

“I think from the first open, we had about 70% of people ask for contracts, so that indicates to me that we got the market that we needed to, and we got serious buyers through,” she says.

“It far exceeded the price that I was hoping to get, and the whole process far exceeded our expectations. So we're very happy.”

Emma is now on the hunt for her next property to buy, and says she’s enjoying using Zango from the other side as a buyer.

Another vendor who decided to make the most of the free listing period is Richard, who recently sold his Theodore property. While he expected to need to list on multiple sites, his agent ensured Richard and his wife that they could sell just by listing on Zango alone. 

They had additional concerns about how long the property would take to sell as it was listed just as open homes were cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, and prospective buyers were only able to inspect by private appointment.

But not only did they sell it after listing only on Zango - they sold in just four days.

“We were very surprised because it was listed on a Thursday, then a few people looked through the house over the weekend, and on the Tuesday we got a call to say someone had already put in an offer, and we accepted,” says Richard.

“I was not expecting it to happen that quickly.”

Jane was also blown away by the quick sale of her Oxley property, which she chose to list only on Zango. After just one open home, Jane received an offer which she accepted.

"I expected it would probably take six to 12 weeks to sell, so I was very pleased with the quick result," she says.

"I would definitely recommend Zango and use it again. I think it's good that it can go up against the big guns on real estate websites. And I think it's good there's a bit of a shake up in the industry."

Zango listings are currently free until April 30, and even then they’ll only be a fraction of the cost of other real estate listings sites.
