Find the top real estate agents in South Gippsland

South Gippsland is a largely rural coastal area where dairy and lifestyle country sit alongside a well established tourism draw. Leongatha and Korumburra act as the region's main service centres, attracting families and people who rely on schools, shops and local health services. Coastal towns such as Venus Bay, Waratah Bay and Sandy Point form established weekend home and holiday markets, and the presence of Wilsons Promontory keeps steady visitor interest that filters through to short-stay demand across the coast. Median prices have edged up gently, up 3.1% on the year to $567,000.

Recent months have shown a steady lift in interest from sea changers and remote workers, helped by improvements to road links along the South Gippsland Highway and upgrades to digital connectivity. That shift is supporting more buyers who want a mix of lifestyle and practical access to services rather than pure holiday purchases, and it is nudging some long-standing farming properties toward lifestyle subdivision. Homes are selling in a median of 91 days, faster than a year ago.

Local real estate agents in South Gippsland bring local knowledge and experience, and a focused understanding of the local market, which matters when buyers and motivations vary between service centres, coastal towns and small villages. The top 3 local agents handled 21% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $625,000 sits 10.2% above the broader area median of $567,000, which could suggest they specialise at the premium end of the market, worth bearing in mind if your home sits closer to the area median. Their listings sold in a median of 95 days, 4 days faster than the area's typical 91 days, converting 46.2% of their listings into a successful sale, 3.3 percentage points ahead of the area's 42.9%.

The average commission rate is 1.95% (around $11,000 on a median-priced home). In regional markets like South Gippsland, rates often increase to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach. When selecting an agent, look beyond the commission rate.
