19 965 965 - SMS Valuer

You can price a residential property in under a minute using your mobile phone - while you're standing in front of the property!

SMS the address of the property to 19 965 965 - so for a house, you would send 8 Smith St Smithville NSW or for a unit 1/8 Smith St Smithville NSW

SMS messages cost $4.

You will receive an SMS like this:

Smith St 2651 typical hse 5/10 rating is worth $X. Reply with another rating (1-10) against the rest of street to get prop value

You can then reply with a rating (1-10) of what you believe the property should be rated. You will then receive a value based on your rating. (replies will cost $4 each)

How to rate a property

Here are some guidelines for what rating to give a property. When trying to work out the rating, you need to compare it to other properties on the same street.

  1. The worst property on the street
  2. A very bad property
  3. A bad property
  4. A property that's a little worse than average
  5. A property that's average
  6. A property that's a little better than average
  7. A good property
  8. A very good property
  9. One of the best properties on the street
  10. The best property on the street

Shortcut

You can jump straight to your choice of rating for the property by putting the rating out of ten, and then a comma, at the start of your SMS message:

For example: if you decided the rating for the property was a 7, you can SMS the following: 7,1/8 Smith St Smithville NSW
