Katrina Wilks has ditched real estate agents and is selling her Sydney home — which is valued over $1.2 million — directly online.

The mum of three said listing their Brookvale home on Sydney’s northern beaches on free online marketplace, called WorkApp, is set to save her around $70,000 in marketing fees and commission usually paid out to the real estate.

“My friend sold her house on there a few months and she said it was really easy and not having to pay the fees and the styling up front was great,” she told news.com.au. “She got a pretty quick sale and I thought I would give it a go really.”

With a price guide between $1.2 and $1.5 million, Mrs Wilks has a very brief description of the house online.

“Step into paradise – here’s your chance to live in the Northern Beaches. A 3 bedroom home with breathtaking views only 40 minutes away from the city,” it reads. “Entertain friends? Step into the huge outdoor area with a recently built decking. Plenty of storage throughout, including a double car garage.”
