Selling your property privately without any professional help is the lowest-cost option on paper. But a property concierge — an independent adviser who manages the sale without taking a full agent commission — often delivers a better net result at a fraction of the cost.
What Does a Property Concierge Cost vs Full Agent Commission?
| Sale Approach | Cost on $1,500,000 Sale | Potential Net Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Sell yourself (private) | ~$2,000 (portal listing) | Risk of underpricing by 3-5% ($45k-$75k) |
| Real estate agent | ~$35,000 (2.3% commission + marketing) | Professional campaign, negotiated price |
| Property concierge | ~$5,000-$8,000 fixed fee | Independent oversight, agent selection, negotiation management |
What Does a Property Concierge Do That You Cannot Do Yourself?
A property concierge brings market intelligence, agent selection expertise, negotiation psychology and transaction management that most private sellers cannot replicate. They know which agents perform in your suburb, what the true market value is versus the agent’s aspirational appraisal, and how to manage a negotiation to maximise the final price.
