Look at what you walk away with, not what you pay
A Crestmead seller in our 2025/26 run said it plainly: even paying twice the commission, they walked away with more than a local agent would have got them. Compare net proceeds, not percentages.
For sellers comparing fees
Commission is a cost. The sale price is the result. A small saving on 1 can be a large loss on the other.
How to beat the market report ... specific to your home
A Crestmead seller in our 2025/26 run said it plainly: even paying twice the commission, they walked away with more than a local agent would have got them. Compare net proceeds, not percentages.
When your home sells there are no hire charges and no stylist fees; limited hard costs, such as transport, may apply at settlement depending on the scale of the project. Ask other agents to show you their staging invoice before you compare.
Our average time on market over the last 5 years is 5 days, across 50+ Brisbane suburbs ... and it's on public data, so you can check it. Over 12 years and 85+ suburbs the average is 8 days. As a general market reference, a typical Brisbane home takes around 3 weeks.
5 daysEvery portal gives you 1 number. We give you 2: your Fair Market Value (FMV), what the evidence supports today, and your Above-Market Value (AMV), what a buyer pays when they're competing rather than negotiating alone. The gap between them is the reason to talk.
FMV + AMV
Our method runs as a formula: 5P = 3A. The 5 P's (Preparation, Presentation, Promotion, Price Guidance, Perception Management) drive the 3 A's: Attract more buyers, Accelerate market feedback, Amplify competition. Historically that means 2 to 4 times more buyer enquiry than comparable local listings, drawn partly from a 40,000+ buyer community we built ourselves.
2 to 4x enquiryWe don't drip your home out to a few buyers at a time. Every buyer meets it at once, in a deliberate, single-day full-market launch. A confident buyer standing next to other confident buyers competes. A buyer on their own negotiates.
A fixed asking price is a ceiling nobody pays above. Our dynamic price guidance attracts the right buyers and lets them revise and refine their offers ... without the impediments of price anchors or ceilings.
We've set suburb records all over the city, including a run of 9 in a row across 9 different suburbs in 2025/26 ... an average of $124,166 above market and an average of 5 days on market, with no local office in any of them. The result comes from the method, not from a postcode.
$124,166We published Australia's first peer-quality home staging study: 144 consecutive sales across 62 Greater Brisbane suburbs from 2015 to 2020. Over that period the median was 9 days on market, about 85% sold above market value at an average premium of $69,017 (7.3%), and every one of the 144 drew more buyer interest than its local area. It was published before the boom, so it isn't a 'hot market' artefact.
