Published fixed fee
Published with wording caveatFlat Fee Realty commission and selling fees
See Flat Fee Realty's published $14,995 plus GST starting fee, separate marketing treatment, service-area caveat and worked examples.
Treat $14,995 + GST as the published starting figure until the agency confirms the property-specific fixed fee, coverage and marketing costs in writing.

01
What the current evidence supports
Flat Fee Realty's official site describes a $14,995 + GST flat fee excluding marketing, while its main headline says commission starts from $14,995 + GST. PropertySeller calculates the published base figure but keeps that wording caveat visible rather than implying every property is guaranteed the same total.
- The published starting selling fee is $14,995 before GST.
- GST is added once at 15%.
- No additional administration fee is identified in the published structure.
- Marketing is explicitly excluded from the commission estimate.

What still needs confirming
Published commission is only one part of a seller proposal. Resolve every unknown before comparing totals.
- The property-specific fee needs confirmation because the official headline says 'starting from'.
- The complete service area is not enumerated and availability must be confirmed.
- Marketing, auction and optional campaign costs require a separate written figure.
- The included service scope should be compared with each competing proposal.
04
Questions to put in writing
- Is the property inside the current service area?
- What services are included in the fixed fee?
- What marketing spend and upgrades are additional?
- Who manages buyer enquiry, viewings, reporting and negotiation?
05
Compare the likely net result, not fee alone
A lower commission does not establish the better agent or campaign. Compare relevant local evidence, appraisal quality, buyer strategy, marketing, service responsibilities and negotiation approach. A small difference in sale price can outweigh a difference in commission.
