What makes selling in Lorne unique?
Lorne is a coastal town on Victoria's Surf Coast, characterised by a mix of coastal cottages, low-rise apartments and detached family homes. The variety of housing attracts a broad buyer pool, from people seeking a low-maintenance holiday retreat or lock-up-and-leave property to buyers pursuing a permanent sea-change or more space for family living, with the range of dwelling types suiting different lifestyles and ownership aims.
Different property types in Lorne appeal to different audiences, so accurate pricing and targeted presentation are particularly important. Agents with suburb-specific experience understand these differences and can tailor pricing, presentation and marketing to the property and the buyers most likely to be interested.

What to pay your Lorne agent
In Victoria, real estate agent commission rates typically range from 0.5% to 4.95%.
Real estate commission rates are not regulated, meaning agents can set their own fees. Knowing the average commission in your suburb gives you a useful benchmark when comparing proposals.
Agent commissions are usually negotiable. While commission is an important consideration, it shouldn't be the only factor when choosing an agent. Instead, look for agents with local expertise who can justify their rate and clearly explain how they plan to maximise your sale outcome.
