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.

Initially, you should look at the THIRROUL property market and see if the conditions are right.

Thirroul is a northern seaside suburb of the city of Wollongong, Australia, with the name supposedly Aboriginal for “Valley of Cabbage Tree Palms”. Situated between Austinmer and Bulli, it is approximately 13 kilometres north of Wollongong, and 69 km south of Sydney. It lies between the Pacific Ocean and a section of the Illawarra escarpment known as Lady Fuller Park, adjacent to Bulli Pass Scenic Reserve.
It is a fairly old town by Australian standards. It was originally called Robbinsville and that name was decided upon at a meeting of ten men in George’s Whitford’s “big new House” in 1880. One suggestion for a name for the place was “Mudmire” but somehow Robbins comvinced the others to call the Town after himself. It only had a total population of 490 in 1891. Coal mining operations began at the start of the 20th Century and miners needed residences, though logging had been occurring before for some time. It has a lot of visible heritage.
The town’s major commercial area lies between an area just north of Bulli Pass, where the Princes Highway splits to form the Lawrence Hargrave Drive, to Thirroul Station, on the South Coast Line, and over the bridge and past the main centre and the Anita’s Theatre building, which underwent large-scale renovations in 2006/2007. Supermarkets include a BI-LO and Franklins. Thirroul is steadily growing in population, and many new shops are added regularly. Many cafes now exist in Thirroul’s main commercial area, adding to its popularity as a seaside holiday town. The Beaches Hotel and Ryans Hotel are lively pubs for locals and tourists alike, both located on the main road. Thirroul also has a sub-branch of the Returned and Services League of Australia . The boutique clothing and jewellery shops, florists, conveniences stores, newsagencies and other shopping essentials make it the main shopping area for the northern suburbs of Wollongong.
There are two primary schools, St. Michael’s and Thirroul Public School. St. Michael’s is a Catholic school that was established by the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1940 and is located in Station Street. The current principal is Mrs. Louise Campbell. Thirroul Public school was established in 1889 and is located in Roxburgh Avenue. The current principal is Mr. Gary Graham. Thirroul also has a Thirroul Scout Group as part of the Scout Association of Australia, NSW Branch.

Thirroul is represented in the Tooheys Illawarra Rugby League by the Thirroul Butchers [3]. The Butchers were established in 1913. Star players include Ben Couchman, Brendon Smith, Aaron Beath and Fuad Suljkanovic. The Thirroul Butchers attract crowds between 500 and 1500 a game, depending on their opponents.
Thirroul is also home to the Thirroul Junior Football Club . The club consists of many male & female junior teams ranging from under 6’s to under 18’s, 4 senior women’s sides and 3 senior men’s. In 2002 the first senior women’s football side was entered into the local IWSA competition, that team went on to finish third in their inaugural season. The first senior men’s side, the Thunder, was established for the 2008 season. That same year the women’s sides became affectionately known as: ‘The Thunderbirds’. Currently Thirroul is the only club in the Illawarra to enter a women’s team into each of the IWFA’s 4 competitions: Premier / Reserve Grade, Division 1 and Over 30s. Star women’s players currently include Asha Hodgins and Evelyn Fetterplace. Star male players include Josh Biddulph and Luke Meusburger.

The club is non-profit and affiliated with NSW Swimming.
Thirroul is also part of the Northern Illawarra Chamber of Commerce [5], which was established in 1996 and is recognised as an official body by the Wollongong City Council. Its aim is to promote the identity of the Northern Illawarra in co-operation with local business owners, the resident community, and government and tourism bodies to generate local business growth for the region.
The Northern Leader is a newspaper established for people living in the northern suburbs of the Illawarra. It is now defunct as of April 2011. Thirroul has many fashion, gift & lifestyle shops along the main streets. Thirroul is also home to King’s Theatre which has recently been refurbished and renamed to Anita’s Theatre by the developer John Comelli, in honour of his late wife. Anita’s Theatre was for sale as of May 2010 but was purchased for 1.05 million dollars in 2011 by a consortium of Italian investors.
The annual Thirroul Seaside & Arts Festival is held over a weekend in the first week of April.
