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.
