TAS WORKED EXAMPLE

A Hobart median sale, two ways

On Hobart’s ~$700,000 median house, a 3.0% agent commission is about $21,000 before marketing. The same sale with Unreserved is a flat $900. That’s a difference of roughly $20,100 that stays in your pocket. Work out your Tasmanian commission below and compare it to Unreserved’s flat $900 fee. On a Hobart median house at 3.0%, you’d keep more than $20,000 that would otherwise go to the agent.

TAS SAVINGS BY REGION

HOBART

$0

Median house ~$700K. At 3.0% that’s a ~$21,000 commission, the highest rate in the country applied here.

LAUNCESTON

$0

Median house ~$560K. A 3.0% commission is ~$16,800; a flat fee saves ~$15,900.

REGIONAL TAS

$0

SELLING IN TAS

What Tasmania sellers need to know

Highest commission rates in Australia

Tasmania’s 3.0% average is the steepest in the country. Fewer agents means less downward pressure on fees, so the dollar gap between 3.0% commission and a flat $900 is the largest of any state.

No cooling-off period

Tasmanian residential sales have no statutory cooling-off period unless one is written into the contract. A clean, well-priced listing matters, and our AI valuation helps you price to sell for what the home is worth.

Small market, premium rate

In a tight market, paying 3.0% to reach buyers everyone can already see online is hard to justify. Unreserved puts you on the same portals for $900 and keeps the savings with you.

Vendor disclosure in TAS: Contract for Sale & title disclosure

Tasmania has no single mandated vendor statement, but the contract for sale must disclose title, and the seller must make standard property and statutory information available to the buyer. Unreserved prepares this as part of your flat-fee campaign. Cooling-off: Tasmania has no statutory cooling-off period for residential sales. Cooling-off applies only if it is negotiated into the contract. Once signed, the contract binds both parties.

Licensing & conduct in TAS is governed by the Property Agents and Land Transactions Act 2016 (Tas).
