Step 1 of 5

Price it against Brisbane sales.

Start with sales of similar homes near you from the last six months, then set a range buyers will act on.

At 2.1%, a $1,200,000 sale costs $25,200 in commission before GST and marketing. Unreserved Lite is $900.

Step 2 of 5

Get your Form 2 and certificates ready.

Since 1 August 2025, you must give the buyer a signed seller disclosure statement (Form 2) and the prescribed certificates before they sign.

If you don’t, or a document is materially wrong, the buyer can terminate right up to settlement. Your solicitor prepares them, along with the contract.

Step 3 of 5

List where buyers are looking.

Most buyers search realestate.com.au and Domain, and those portals only take listings from agencies. Private sellers list through a licensed agency.

Unreserved lists your home on both for a flat fee. You keep control of the price, the buyers and the decision.

Step 4 of 5

Offers and cooling-off.

Buyers get 5 business days to cool off, starting when they receive a copy of the contract signed by both parties. You get none.

If the buyer pulls out, you can keep up to 0.25% of the price. On $1,000,000 that’s up to $2,500. Cooling-off doesn’t apply at auction.

The deposit is normally 10% of the price. In a private sale it usually sits in your solicitor’s trust account until settlement, not with you.

Your solicitor runs settlement on the date in the contract.
