Estimated Agent Commission
The data on this website, including in the graphs and calculator, is approximate in nature and should not be relied upon.
Talking to a top local real estate agent is a good first step to determine what you may be required to pay to sell your property and to understand the local property market.
The graph and calculator use data collected by Which Real Estate Agent in 2019, and provides a state-wide average estimation of commission rate. The data presented should only be used as an indication of what you may be required to pay.
Be careful of extra fees that may be charged by a real estate agent. We recommend you properly review the agency agreement and cost schedules, so there are no surprises when you are presented with the final bill.
There is almost always room to negotiate commissions with agents. Do not be afraid to ask for an agent fee structure that favours your situation and ensures the agent does their job.
However, remember that an agent willing to drop their agent fees to rock-bottom are not likely to have your best interests at heart. Make sure you’re not just padding out someone else’s sales statistics - you should spend a little more to make more.

There are several variables that can affect property values in BRIGHTON. To accurately estimate the value of your BRIGHTON property, these variables need to be taken into account.
One of the most significant, but surprising, contributors to your property price is proximity to loud areas or industry.
Several nearby types of infrastructure may drive your house value estimation down. Public infrastructure such as busy roads or flight paths could generate a lot of noise pollution which may deter some buyers, leading to your property selling at a lower price.
With so many potential factors affecting a property’s price, it’s best to do some research before talking to agents.
Figure out the value of your home, and start your selling journey with some confidence. Get started by requesting a property appraisal from an agent today.
There’s a lot to think about when selling your BRIGHTON property, and a lot of it happens before signing up with an agent.
Initially, you should look at the BRIGHTON property market and see if the conditions are right. Get an idea of how much your property is valued in the present day, starting with an independent property value report. Then you will want to contact and interview multiple agents (ideally around 3) and discuss selling methods, advertising and fees.
Make sure you are sure about selling, and are realistic about your property’s value when talking to agents. A mistake here could cost you. The best way to avoid costly missteps and get a good price is to sign up with a strong local real estate agent that can walk you through the whole selling process in an honest way.

Brighton is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 11 km south-east from Melbourne’s central business district. Its Local Government Area is the City of Bayside. At the 2011 Census, Brighton had a population of 21,257. Brighton is named after Brighton in England.
In England, on 29 August 1840, Henry Dendy purchased 5,120 acres of Port Phillip land at
The area he was compelled to take was bound by the coastline, North Road, East Boundary Road and South Road, called “Waterville”. A town was surveyed in the mid-1841, defined by the crescent-shaped street layout which remains today, and subdivided allotments offered for sale. The area soon became “the Brighton Estate”, and Dendy’s site for his own home was named “Brighton park”. Unfortunately, the land did not have any ready sources of water. Sales were slow at first, and the financial depression came and Dendy’s scheme for emigration and land sales failed. The family of his agent Jonathan Binns Were who had arrived in Melbourne in 1839, bought the land. All of Dendy’s business ventures failed, and he died a pauper.
After the depression sales of land resulted in Brighton becoming the third most populated town in Port Phillip, by 1846. Brighton attracted wealthy residents who wanted generous building sites and the prospect of sea bathing. By the late 1840s stately homes were built in an area known as ‘The Terrace’ now called the Esplanade overlooking Dendy Street Beach. The Brighton Post Office opened on 19 April 1853.
By 1850 there were an Anglican church, Wesleyan church and Catholic churches and a Methodist church. Schools were opened in the Anglican church and by the Catholic Church in Centre Road. Another was opened in the Wesleyan church in 1855. In 1854, Brighton had a census population of 2,731.
A railway connection to Melbourne was built in stages: Windsor to North Brighton was completed in 1859 and connected to the loop line to St Kilda station;the connection to Melbourne was made in 1860;and the line was extended from North Brighton to Brighton Beach in 1861. A single line railway-tram from St Kilda to Brighton Beach was completed in 1906. The railway tramline was duplicated in 1914. In 1919 the railway was electrified. A tram ran down Hawthorn Road;the section from Glenhuntly to North Road was completed in 1925 and extended to Nepean Highway in 1937.
The noted bathing boxes in Brighton are known to have existed as far back as 1862, although the earliest ones were at the water’s edge at the end of Bay St rather than their present location on Dendy Street Beach just south of Middle Brighton. In 1906, the completion of a tram line from St Kilda to Brighton led to an increase in applications for bathing box permits and significant construction between 1908 and 1911;final numbers are uncertain, but between 100 and 200 bathing box sites may have been allocated prior to the Great Depression. As part of capital works programs during the Depression to help relieve unemployment, the City of Brighton, backed by State Government funding, relocated all bathing boxes to the high water mark on Dendy Street Beach, or removed them completely. The boxes were relocated again in 1934 to their present position at the rear of this beach.
Two years after the opening of the railway line to Brighton Beach in 1861, Captain Kenny
On 18 January 1859, the municipality of Brighton was proclaimed extending eastwards between Dendy’s survey boundaries to Thomas Street and Nepean Highway. Brighton became a borough in October 1863, and in 1870 parts of Elwood and Elsternwick were added. Brighton became a town on 18 March 1887. It annexed 13.8 hectares from the City of Moorabbin on 3 April 1912 and became the City of Brighton on 12 March 1919. On 14 December 1994, the City of Brighton was incorporated in a new municipality called City of Bayside.
Brighton houses some of the wealthiest citizens in Melbourne with grand homes, and the development of large residential blocks of land. On the beach, Beach Road is a popular cycling route, with the Bay Trail off-road walking/cycling tracks also following the coastline.
