How is agent commission calculated?

Usually a percentage of the sale price, sometimes with a sliding scale or a flat fee for higher-value properties, plus advertising. Ask for commission and marketing as separate figures rather than one combined number.

Should I sell by auction or private treaty?

It depends on the property and the market. Ask each agent to justify their recommendation for your specific property, and be sceptical of a recommendation that is identical for every property they list.

Who pays for advertising?

Normally the seller, and it is paid whether the property sells or not. Ask for the itemised marketing budget and which items are optional.

What does a property manager charge?

A management fee as a percentage of rent, plus letting fees and sometimes inspection or tribunal attendance charges. Ask for the full schedule, because the headline percentage is rarely the whole cost.

About real estate in Launceston

Launceston is the state's northern hub, sitting where the Tamar, North and South Esk rivers meet. It is the second-largest city in Tasmania and the service centre for the whole north, with the CBD, Invermay, Mowbray and the newer estates at Prospect and Newnham all within a few minutes of each other. Frost is a real feature of winter in the Tamar Valley, and the city is flood-aware — the rivers are part of daily life here, not just the view.
