Selling through a traditional agent means paying a percentage of your sale price in commission — usually 2% to 3%, plus marketing costs on top. On most homes that runs into tens of thousands of dollars. This calculator shows you the difference between a percentage commission and PropertyNow’s single flat fee, based on your property’s value.

How the calculation works
The saving shown is the gap between what a typical agent would charge and PropertyNow’s flat fee. It’s based on a 2.5% agent commission plus a 1% marketing budget, minus PropertyNow’s $979 fee. For example, on a $725,000 sale a typical agent arrangement costs around $25,000 once commission and marketing are combined — against $979 with PropertyNow.
Your actual saving depends on the commission rate your local agents charge, which varies by state and suburb. Rates are higher in regional areas and lower in competitive city markets, so it’s worth knowing what’s normal where you are. Our guide to real estate agent commission by state breaks down the 2026 averages for every state and territory.
Why the saving is so large
The reason is simple: a percentage commission scales with your sale price, while a flat fee doesn’t. An agent earns more for selling a $900,000 home than a $500,000 home, even though the work involved is much the same. With a fixed fee, the price of your property doesn’t change what you pay to sell it — so the more your home is worth, the more a flat fee saves you.
It’s also worth remembering that agent commission usually isn’t the only cost. Marketing and advertising — photography, portal listing fees, signboards and floor plans — are typically charged separately and on top, which is why this calculator includes a marketing budget in the comparison.
What you get with PropertyNow
For the flat fee, you list your property on the major portals (realestate.com.au and Domain), with the support of licensed real estate agents seven days a week. You stay in control of your sale while getting professional backup when you need it. It’s not for everyone — some sellers prefer a full-service agent — but if you’re comfortable being hands-on, the saving is substantial.
