Local Agent Finder was a fantastic tool

I had no idea how to find a good real estate agent to sell an investment property. Local Agent Finder was a fantastic tool that let me see all the relevant statistics for agents in the area. With a few clicks it had connected me with my top 3 agents & I was booking in appraisals. I’m impressed that this is available at no cost to me & it saved me so much time. I would definitely recommend Local Agent Finder.

Cut through the dozens of agents in my area

Local Agent Finder helped me cut through the dozens of agents in my area, see real reviews, transparent prices and arrange to have relevant agents pitch to me.  Through this process I met an agent who had a philosophy on selling that made sense to us, and together we achieved an excellent result.

Process was relatively simple and gave good outcomes. I had phone contact with 3 agents within 10 mins of my search. Pleasing. Local Agent Finder did all the work for me!!!

100% recommend using Local Agent Finder

What a fantastic site. We purchased an investment property interstate and had no local knowledge of Property Managers in the area. I googled Property Managers and Local Agent Finder popped up. I filled in a quick questionnaire of what I was searching for and within the hour I had a response and within the day I had 3 Agency's contact me. It really took the headache away of me having to research and do all of the chasing. I 100% recommend using Local Agent Finder to save yourself time and hassle.

Frequently asked questions

What percentage do most real estate agents charge in Australia?

Most real estate agents in Australia charge between 1.8% and 2.5% commission, with the national average being 2.08% in metropolitan areas and 2.45% in regional areas.

How do you calculate real estate agent commission?

To calculate real estate agent commission, multiply your property's sale price by the commission percentage. For example: $500,000 × 2.2% = $11,000 total commission.

Can you negotiate real estate agent commission in Australia?

Yes, real estate agent commission rates are fully negotiable in Australia. The ACCC doesn't regulate commission rates, so agents can set their own fees and sellers can negotiate.

Do I pay commission if my property doesn't sell?

Most agents work on a "no sale, no commission" basis, meaning you only pay if your property sells successfully. However, you may still be responsible for marketing costs.

When is real estate commission paid?

Commission is typically paid on settlement day from the sale proceeds. The funds are usually deducted automatically by your conveyancer or solicitor.
