  • We check every offer with you, right through to settlement.
$0 cost to you

Our fee comes out of the selling agent’s commission at settlement. Not your sale proceeds.

We’ll put that in writing before you sign anything. Your home competes with new builds in the growth corridor. Your agent needs a clear plan for that.

Who is the best real estate agent in Caloundra?

It depends on your property. The agent who sells the most in Caloundra isn’t always the best fit for your home. We look at each agent’s recent sales of homes like yours, the prices they got against appraisal and how long they took. Then we recommend a shortlist.

How much does it cost to sell a house in Caloundra?

Your main costs are agent commission, marketing and legal fees. They vary a lot between agents. We compare them for you and negotiate commission and campaign spend before you sign.

Can you help me sell in Caloundra and buy my next home?

Yes. We can manage your sale and act as your buyer’s agent on your next home, so the timing lines up.

How do you get paid?

The selling agent pays our fee from their commission at settlement. It doesn’t come out of your sale proceeds, and we disclose the arrangement in writing before you sign anything.
