roomr (formerly LocalAgentFinder) enabled us to find the right agent for us. It was easy to compare various agents by comparing their sale history and fees.
Bronwyn
Very happy with the agent we chose. 3 agents contacted us from your site. One stood out, which was Aaron Hart for Harris North Real Estate. He was pleasant, easy to deal with and secured a great price for our property.

roomr (formerly LocalAgentFinder) 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.

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.
