At the typical Cairns and Far North Queensland rate of 2.5%, that's around $14,500 on a home like yours — gone before you've paid marketing costs. Ours doesn't scale with price.
Completely. We're a licensed Queensland real estate agency (licence 4542501), and your contract still runs through a conveyancer like any other sale.
No — that's optional. Show buyers through yourself at no cost, or pay $99 for a licensed agent to attend, unlock up and lock up on your behalf.
