What to pay your West Melbourne agent
In Victoria, real estate agent commission rates typically range from 0.5% to 4.95%. Our data shows the commission rates in West Melbourne average around 2.35%, or approximately $13,379 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.
