In short: my fee is outcome aligned. At different price points in Albany I adjust commission, while keeping full marketing and strong service in place so we can aim for a better final result, not just a lower percentage on paper.

My commission structure in Albany

Every property and campaign is slightly different. As a guide, this is how my Albany real estate fees usually sit at common price brackets.

At $1,000,000 and above

Commission around 3 percent.

High value lifestyle property, rural holding, or large family home with strong buyer pool.

Around $450,000

Typical Albany home with solid demand where marketing, buyer work, and negotiation drive the end figure.

Somewhere Between

Commission is negotiated fairly. Campaign inclusions and scope adjust things slightly, but my focus stays on your net result and a smooth, safe sale.

“I never let fee get in the way of a seller I want to work for. The goal is always a result you feel proud of when the dust settles.”

What is included in my Albany real estate fee

When you sign with me, you are not just paying a percentage. You are engaging a full, structured campaign that brings more buyers to your front door.

Why this matters: a strong campaign can easily add tens of thousands to your final sale price. That often far outweighs the difference between a cheap fee and a fair, full service fee.

Frequently asked questions about Albany real estate fees

How much are real estate agent fees in Albany?

Around 4 percent near $450,000, 3 percent at $1,000,000 and above, and negotiated in between. I keep the structure simple and clear so you know where you stand.

Do your fees include marketing?

In most cases, yes. Photography, drone, 3D, signboard, social media, and a strong realestate.com.au campaign are bundled into the agreement so we can launch with full strength from day one.

Why pay more than a discount agent?

If an agent saves you a small amount in fee but loses you competition at the point of offers, you can miss out on much larger money. I focus on buyer depth, strong negotiation, and a clean process so your final number is the best it can be.

Can you be flexible on fee?

I am always open to a fair conversation. I never let fee stop me helping a seller I believe in. The key is to match fee to the work, the property, and the result we are aiming for.

What do I get besides marketing?

You get planning, clear advice, buyer work, regular feedback, and safe handling of the contract and conditions. For six to ten weeks you have a professional in your corner who treats the sale like it is their own.
