Fees for selling in Cranbourne
Cranbourne is one of the largest family markets in South East Melbourne, and it is a market with a lot of choice. Established homes, townhouses and newer estate properties all compete for the same buyers, which means presentation and pricing do most of the work.
We split the cost into two parts for exactly that reason. The commission is a percentage of your final sale price and is the same in Cranbourne as anywhere else we sell. The marketing budget is charged at cost, and it is where you decide how hard your property competes — because in a corridor this competitive, a well-presented home and a tired one can end up tens of thousands apart.
We are not claiming to be the cheapest agency in Cranbourne. We cannot verify that, and a claim like that should not be trusted. What we can do is publish the full fee structure and show you the local sales the price recommendation is based on.

Example total costs at different sale prices
These illustrations use our starting rate of 1% and show the fee component only. The rate that applies to your property is confirmed in writing, and marketing and campaign costs are charged separately, at cost — they are not included below.
| Sale price | Commission at 1% | GST | Total fee | Effective |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $600,000 | $6,000 | $600 | $6,600 | 1.10% |
| $750,000 | $7,500 | $750 | $8,250 | 1.10% |
| $900,000 | $9,000 | $900 | $9,900 | 1.10% |
| $1,100,000 | $11,000 | $1,100 | $12,100 | 1.10% |
| $1,300,000 | $13,000 | $1,300 | $14,300 | 1.10% |
"Effective" is the total fee as a percentage of the sale price, once GST is added. At the 1% starting rate that works out at 1.10% of the sale price.
How the rate changes what you pay
Every percentage-based commission is calculated the same way — on the sale price — so the rate is the only variable. On a $900,000 sale, the difference looks like this.
| Commission rate | Commission on $900,000 | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| 1% — our starting rate | $9,000 | — |
| 1.5% | $13,500 | $4,500 more |
| 2% | $18,000 | $9,000 more |
| 2.5% | $22,500 | $13,500 more |
| 3% | $27,000 | $18,000 more |
These are illustrations, not a quote — your rate is confirmed in writing. Our starting rate is 1%, and it is not available on every engagement. The other rates shown are common market commissions included for comparison only; they are not a quote from any specific agency. A lower rate is only better value if the sale price holds up — that is the trade-off worth judging an agent on.
The figures on this page are illustrations based on our starting rate of 1% plus GST — they are not a quote for your property. Your rate is confirmed in writing before you sign an authority. Marketing and campaign costs are charged separately, at cost, and vary with the campaign you choose.
Real estate agent fees in Cranbourne — frequently asked questions
What do real estate agent fees in Cranbourne cost?
Our fees start from 1% of your final sale price, plus GST. The rate that applies to your property depends on the campaign and the terms of the authority, and is confirmed in writing before you sign. Our fee is quoted plus GST, which is added to the commission at the rate set by law (10%). Marketing and campaign costs are charged separately, at cost, so you see exactly what is spent.
What commission do real estate agents charge in Cranbourne?
Commission in Cranbourne is negotiable and not fixed by law, so rates vary between agencies. Ours is a percentage of your final sale price and is the same percentage across every suburb we work in — there is no Cranbourne loading.
Is GST included in the commission?
Our fee is quoted plus GST, which is added to the commission at the rate set by law (10%).
Are marketing and advertising costs included in the fee?
No. Photography, floorplan, signboard and advertising are charged separately, at cost. Cranbourne is a competitive corridor where presentation genuinely changes the result, so we would rather you chose the campaign budget deliberately than had it buried in a percentage.
Do you charge a minimum fee?
We do not publish a minimum fee. Any minimum that applies to your engagement is set out in your written agreement before you sign.
Is there a discounted fee for Cranbourne sellers?
The 1% starting rate is not available on every engagement. What applies to your property depends on the campaign, the property and the terms of the authority, and is confirmed in writing before you sign.
Does it cost more to sell in a new Cranbourne estate?
The commission is the same percentage wherever your property is. The marketing budget is charged at cost and will reflect what your property actually needs — a near-new estate home competing with many similar listings often needs stronger presentation than a more established home.
How do your Cranbourne fees compare with other agents?
Compare the total rather than the headline rate. Ask each agent what their commission is, whether GST is included, what marketing they charge for and whether it is at cost or marked up, and what their recent Cranbourne results look like. Our structure is published on this page so you can compare before you call.
