What makes selling in Torquay unique?
Torquay is a coastal town on Victoria's Surf Coast, characterised by predominantly detached houses and family-sized blocks with pockets of low-rise holiday accommodation near the shoreline. The suburb attracts a broad buyer pool, from families seeking a beachside lifestyle to investors and holiday-home purchasers, as the housing variety can suit both long-term living and short-stay rental use.
Different properties in Torquay appeal to different audiences, so an agent with local experience can identify the buyers most likely to be interested and tailor pricing, presentation and marketing accordingly. Torquay agents who know the area can highlight the features that matter to each audience and adjust campaign channels and presentation to suit this coastal market.

What to pay your Torquay agent
In Victoria, real estate agent commission rates typically range from 0.5% to 4.95%. Our data shows the commission rates in Torquay average around 1.68%, or approximately $19,175 on a median-priced home.
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.
