Q: What do real estate agents charge for?

Typically real estate agents will charge you for your advertising and promotional costs and their commission for selling your property.

Q: How much should I pay to promote my property?

There is no hard and fast rule, but a good guide is approximately 1% of the value of the property to ensure you expose the property to the widest possible buying market

Q: How much commission does brough real estate charge to sell a property?

Brough Real Estate have been selling real estate for over 80 years and in that time, they have responded to the needs of their local community. Every property is different and therefore requires a different approach and naturally commission rates will vary with market conditions. Generally though commissions can range from as little as 1.1% to 4.4% inclusive of gst, depending on the nature of the transaction. Your best guide is to call on brough before you sign anything with a competing agent, you will be glad you did. Another serious point to consider, is that brough real estate sell homes for profit, which is a clear distinction from other main stream real estate agents. At brough we tell our clients to be more concerned about how much money they put in their pocket as opposed to how much commission they pay their real estate agent.

Once you have had an opportunity to compare what brough do, to the main stream selling agent, commission charged won't seem that important to you. What is important is achieving the highest possible price in the shortest time frame and putting more of the proceeds in your pocket and thats got to be the best outcome you could ever ask for?
