Real Estate Agents
Compare local real estate agents and book online in seconds.
Real estate agents in Australia are licensed under state and territory law, with salespeople holding a licence or certificate of registration and working under a licensed agency. Whether you are selling, buying or renting out a property, an agent's recent local sales record, realistic pricing and negotiation skill matter far more than the brand on the signboard.
OneBookPlus lets you book appraisals, sales consultations and property management appointments directly, after comparing local agents' profiles and reviews. Instant confirmations and reminders keep the process moving, and you keep a clear record of every meeting while shortlisting who will handle one of your biggest assets.

List your business, freeHow to choose a good Real Estate Agent
- Check the agent's licence on your state fair trading or consumer affairs public register.
- Compare their recent sales of similar properties in your suburb, not company-wide claims.
- Get appraisals from three agents; treat the highest figure with suspicion, it can be bait for the listing.
- Understand the agency agreement, exclusivity period and any cooling-off rights before you sign.
- Question the marketing budget line by line; you usually pay it even if the property does not sell.
- For property management, ask about vacancy rates, inspection frequency and how arrears are chased.
Questions to ask before you book
Frequently asked questions
Are real estate agents licensed in Australia?
Yes. Each state and territory licenses agents through its fair trading or consumer affairs body, with requirements covering training, trust account handling and professional conduct. Salespeople hold either a full licence or a certificate of registration and work under a licensed agency. Licences are verifiable on public registers.
Is commission negotiable?
Commission is set by agreement, not by law, in every state, and it is absolutely negotiable. Flat percentages are most common, and some sellers use tiered structures that pay a higher rate above an agreed price to sharpen the incentive. Get the full structure, including GST treatment, in the written agency agreement.
Should I sell by auction or private treaty?
Auctions suit competitive metro markets and hard-to-price properties, creating urgency and an unconditional sale on the day, but they cost more in marketing and can pass in. Private treaty suits most other situations and accommodates buyers with finance conditions. A good agent justifies their recommendation with recent local evidence.
