About Brisbane
Brisbane is Australia’s third most populous city with a population of over 2.3 million. It’s approximately 15,826 square kilometres in size. The predominate age group in Brisbane is 25-34 years with most households consisting of childless couples working in a professional occupation.
Agent commissions in Brisbane
Agent commissions in Queensland sit above the national median, around 2.8% across the state. Brisbane is more competitive than the regional centres, so metro rates tend to run lower, while some regional Queensland towns reach 3.5% or more. Commission isn’t regulated anywhere in Australia and is always negotiable, so get three quotes and ask for the figure in dollars rather than a percentage. Our guide to agent commission by state breaks it down. If you sell with a traditional agent, you’ll also pay additional advertising fees on top of a commission, which can increase your total cost significantly.
For example, in a competitive suburb like Newstead, the top upgrade available on realestate.com.au may be a few thousand dollars. All up, your total cost is likely to be $14,000 – $20,000+ if you decide to sell with a traditional agent.
Sell your home yourself with the help of PropertyNow and you could pay a fraction of that.
