Flat Fee Realty commission and selling fees

See Flat Fee Realty's published $14,995 plus GST selling fee, separate marketing treatment, service-area caveat and worked examples.

Decision principle

A flat fee stays the same as the sale-price assumption changes, but confirm coverage, marketing and the complete service proposal before comparing outcomes.

01

What the current evidence supports

Flat Fee Realty publishes a $14,995 fee before GST and states that marketing is excluded. The fee is fixed in the V2 record, so the dollar estimate does not change with sale price; its effective percentage does.

  • The published 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.

Worked commission examples

These examples are generated by the same pricing records and calculation engine used by the calculator. Marketing and optional costs are not added unless the published record identifies a mandatory amount.

What still needs confirming

Published commission is only one part of a seller proposal. Resolve every unknown before comparing totals.

  • 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.
