How much does Real estate agents cost in Melbourne? (2026 price guide)

Real estate agent commission for selling a property typically ranges from 1.5%-3% of the sale price, meaning a $700,000 sale might cost $10,500-$21,000 in commission, plus marketing costs typically $1,000-$5,000 depending on the campaign (photography, signage, online listings, print advertising).

Commission rates vary by property value, market conditions and the level of service and marketing included. Higher-value properties often attract a lower percentage rate but a higher absolute dollar figure, and premium marketing campaigns with professional styling and video add to upfront costs.

Commission rates are negotiable, so it's worth getting appraisals and fee proposals from a few agents before choosing, and clarify what marketing costs are included in the commission versus charged separately upfront.
