Find the top real estate agents in Gold Coast

The Gold Coast, also known as Goldie, blends a coastal tourism spine with well-established family suburbs and quieter hinterland pockets. Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach are the city-shaping high-rise strips where lifestyle presentation and short-stay appeal set seller expectations, while Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach and Mermaid Beach are the island-style village pockets with a strong owner-occupier mindset. Median prices have made a significant move higher, up 16.2% on the year to $1,133,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained.

Homes are selling in a median of 33 days, faster than a year ago, the fastest pace in five years. The median is 0.7% above the prior peak set in April 2026. Auctions are clearing at 44% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 8.4% on the year, the lowest transaction count in five years. Ongoing transport upgrades along the Pacific Motorway corridor and the G:link light rail remain a major influence on suburb-level desirability, especially around Helensvale, Robina and Broadbeach.

Real estate agents in the Gold Coast often emphasise local knowledge and experience and a focused understanding of the local market. This is a fragmented market, with the top 3 agents handling just 2% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $1,025,000 sits 9.5% below the broader area median of $1,133,000, which can reflect the mix of homes they list. Their listings sold in a median of 20 days, 13 days faster than the area's typical 33 days, converting 82.9% of their listings into a successful sale, 18.9 percentage points ahead of the area's 64.0%.

The average commission rate is 2.21% (around $25,000 on a median-priced home). Rates can vary across the Gold Coast because suburbs attract different types of buyers and campaigns require varying lengths and broader marketing reach. When selecting an agent, look beyond the commission rate. Compare their specific track record in your local area, their recent sales volume, and their experience with properties similar to yours.
