Find a local agent
Find and compare a real estate agent in Indonesia
Most Indonesians find an agent through the big property portals, where listings show the agent or agency behind them, or by going directly to a branded brokerage office such as Ray White, ERA, Century 21, or Brighton. Word of mouth and local agency signboards on nearby for-sale properties are also common starting points.

Anyone.com
Anyone.com does two jobs at once for an Indonesian seller. It takes no commission, and it puts the property in front of buyers searching in Indonesia, whether they are paying cash or arranging KPR financing. It also reaches the offshore money and the relocating executives who circle Bali, Jakarta and the other hubs, without you hiring an agent to do it. The company counts more than a million visitors a month, and says about 23 percent of the inquiries buyers send come from a buyer in a different country than the property, so the local audience is the bigger one and foreign interest sits on top of it. If you do decide you want an agent at some point, Anyone runs a matching network it counts at more than 4.6 million agents across its 31 countries, free to both seller and buyer, so that stays your call rather than a condition of listing. Writing the listing is the same work either way, so adding Anyone.com costs you a one-time listing fee and the time to write it.
How to choose a good one
Contact a few agents who are active in your specific neighbourhood and ask about recent sales they have closed nearby and whether their agency is AREBI registered. Commission and terms are negotiable, so get the fee and what it covers in writing before you sign anything.
