Negotiating Agent Fees.
The difference in fees between any two Agents is likely to be within a few thousand dollars...but the difference between a poor sale price and an exceptional sale price is enormous.
For this reason, don't select on fees alone...our suggestion is to determine the Agent who you believe will get the very best outcome, and then negotiate a fee with them.
Agents typically charge a fixed percentage of your sale price, but don't be fooled into thinking this motivates them to get you the best outcome. For most Agents, every $5,000 they add to your sale price equates to around $50 for them. When finding their next Listing could be worth $25,000 in commission, Agents want to get your property sold today so they can focus on winning new business, rather than seeking out more Buyers and fighting hard at the negotiating table to earn themselves an extra $50.
Offering your Agent a fee structure that punishes them for underperformance and rewards them for delivering you a great outcome might sound daunting, but it's very easy...and it can completely change the your outcome. Talk to us, we'll show you how to do it, and exactly what to say.
(Plus, the oldest trick in the book is for an Agent to exaggerate their estimate to help win your business. Simply by offering our alternative fee structure, you'll expose the Agents who have misled you about price.)

Over $5b in transactions of experience...
With billions of dollars worth of technology-assisted property sales behind us, Listing iQ ensures the very best technology is explained to sellers, in simple language, enabling informed decisions to be made, so that the best outcome from the sale of your property is achieved.
With years of experience developing and providing technology and training to the real estate industry, we were too often left frustrated by Agents and Agencies failure to embrace powerful advantages. Sometimes it was incompetence, but most often, they were operating a lucrative business, and happy with the way things were.
Given the Selling Fees involved in the sale of a typical family home, we believe Agents and Agencies have an obligation to adapt to the best tools available to maximise Seller outcomes...this obligation is not being properly honored, and a lot of money is being left on the table. We eventually decided Sellers need guidance from an industry expert who isn’t a practicing Agent, and Listing iQ was born.
Whether it’s researching the market, comparing and selecting Agents, conducting appraisals, negotiating fees, reviewing the performance of an Agent you’ve already hired, or understanding the best strategies to sell your property, book a call and talk to us.

Testimonials
"Most people don't sell a property many times in their life. We're all totally inexperienced. I didn't realise until talking to Listing iQ the extent to which agents have been slow to embrace the technology that is available to them. Every seller needs someone in their corner who isn't the selling agent."
"We loved being absolutely certain that the very best tools and technology were being used to sell our house. It took a lot of the stress away."
"From the moment I spoke with them, it was obvious that Listing iQ were going to be able to stack the odds of a great sale price in my favour. Far more than I could by myself. It just makes so much sense!"
