LoveThatPlace.com.au - Parade Your Crib Down Under

LoveThatPlace, based in the great Down Under, is something of a mix of online real estate, rate my space, and communal advice. Think cribs for your regular house owning Aussie. Users can display their pad with all the love in the world, without even a thought of a selling it; they’ll get feedback, comments, advice, and even decorating ideas. Should owners want to sell later, they’ve already got their house up on display and potential buyers are probably already lined up and drooling. Of course, LoveThatPlace also works for those who are committed to selling their space. Sellers can easily field the market to see who’s interested and they can set up independent meetings or broker a sale through the site’s agents. Registering is free; there are paid membership option available as well.

“Love That Place is a net community that connects property owners and property admirers through their mutual interest in homes, property and real estate.
Love That Place is not a registered real estate agent or broker, is not run by or influenced by any real estate agencies or outside corporations, and does not claim commission on any sale.
As a consumer-driven website Love That Place members have control over the content that appears on the site.
No member information is sold as leads. No member information is passed to real estate agents unless the member has authorised us to do so. Members are provided with the details of local real estate agents who have subscribed to 'Love that Suburb'. It is entirely your choice if you wish to contact this local agent for assistance with buying or selling (real estate commissions and fees may apply) - or, buyers and sellers may choose to deal directly and transact without commissions.”

LoveThatPlace has a catchy name and an equally compelling concept. House owners are able to scope out the market interest in their property, or simply display their house for others to admire. They’ll be able to easily round up potential buyers, who will in turn be able to inspect properties with no obligation. The site can also be used to get decorating advice or renovation ideas.

Does the site facilitate house sales? Would users really be interested in displaying their home to strangers, if they weren’t thinking of selling?
