Queensland Commission Report
What Queensland sellers pay their agent.
Commission in Queensland on a stated assumption, with example sales and the quotes sellers report.
What Queensland sellers pay their agent
Commission is not regulated in Queensland: the Office of Fair Trading sets no limit, and it is negotiable. There is no official rate to quote, so this report works from a stated assumption: 2.5% as the typical commission, and 2% to 3% as the range. FIND:HOME assumption, not a published rate.
There is no Queensland sales data in this report yet, so the table applies the assumption to three example sales.
| On a sale of | Commission at 2.5% | Range (2% to 3%) |
|---|---|---|
| $850,000 | $21,250 | $17,000 to $25,500 |
| $1,100,000 | $27,500 | $22,000 to $33,000 |
| $1,650,000 | $41,250 | $33,000 to $49,500 |
What sellers report
No seller has told the FIND:HOME calculator what an agent quoted them in Queensland so far. Each quote nudges the typical figure above towards what sellers are actually quoted, and once there are enough the report shows them on their own.
The marketing fee
Commission is what the agent earns. Marketing is a separate cost for photography, the portal listing, the signboard and the copywriting, and it is commonly invoiced whether or not the home sells. Agents usually set it out as its own schedule in the agency agreement. This report has no marketing figures for Queensland yet.
What the commission buys
A good agent brings an existing database of buyers, negotiates on the seller's behalf, runs the open homes and, where it suits the property, the auction. They read the market for the pricing conversation, and they carry the process when the sale gets awkward. For many sellers that is worth the fee, and the fee is negotiable.
What the commission does not buy is the contract, the Form 2 seller disclosure statement or the conveyancing: those come from a solicitor or conveyancer and are paid for separately, agent or no agent.
