Queensland Estate agents fees and charges what to expect
It is interesting in Queensland the Queensland government has fixed
in place what real estate agents can charge for their selling fees
/ agents fees /real estate commission.
As a Queensland estate agent charges are set at a maximum of 5%
of the first $18,000 of the sale price and 2.5% of the balance of
the sale price.
The rate quoted must include gst and the guidelines by law for
the real estate agents is to quote their charges inclusive of gst,
be careful of this one because gst is 10% of the total selling fees
charged.
