Commission figures shown, and the difference between them, are the commission component only, before GST and before any admin or marketing fees, for both Megan and the agency shown. Comparison for illustration. Other agencies’ commissions and marketing costs are indicative, based on typical published structures, and are negotiable and vary by agent, region and property — check with each agency for their current fees. Upfront marketing shown is a typical campaign (≈$2,500). Megan’s fee is 2% commission + GST, plus a fixed admin fee and your marketing — all payable only when your home sells. $0 upfront, No Sale No Fee. Optional extras quoted separately. T&Cs apply.
Selling costs made simple — no sale, no fee
Most real estate agents charge you to market your home whether it sells or not. Megan Hetges, a licensed salesperson (REAA 2008) with Arizto Real Estate, does it differently: $0 upfront — no listing fee, no marketing bill, no photography or advertising costs to pay before your home sells. When it sells, you pay a competitive 2% + GST commission, plus a $650 + GST admin fee and a tiered marketing fee. That’s it — no sale, no fee.
The calculator above uses those exact figures. On an $980,000 sale, for example, that’s about $22,540 commission, $747.50 admin and $1,199 marketing — and nothing to pay until your home sells.
