VIC WORKED EXAMPLE
A Melbourne median sale, two ways
On Melbourne’s ~$1,050,000 median house, a 2.0% 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. Slide in your sale price below to see what a Victorian agent’s 2.0% would cost, and what you’d keep selling with Unreserved instead. We’re a Victorian-licensed service, so the Section 32 and underquoting compliance are handled.
VIC SAVINGS BY REGION
What you’d keep across Victoria
MELBOURNE METRO
$0
Median house ~$1.05M. At 2.0% that’s a ~$21,000 commission before a cent of marketing.
GEELONG & SURF COAST
$0
Median house ~$820K. Coastal demand keeps rates firm; a 2.2% commission is ~$18,000.
REGIONAL VICTORIA
$0
Median house ~$640K. Regional rates run higher, 2.2% to 2.5%, which widens the flat-fee gap.
Estimated saving = commission at the VIC average of 2.0% on each regional median, minus Unreserved’s $900 flat fee. Your actual saving depends on your sale price and the rate you’d otherwise have negotiated.
SELLING IN VIC
What Victoria sellers need to know
Section 32 is mandatory
Every Victorian land sale needs a Section 32 vendor statement before contracts are signed, even a private sale. Unreserved generates yours and has it reviewed by a panel solicitor.
Underquoting laws are strict
Consumer Affairs Victoria polices advertised price ranges tightly. Our AI valuation produces a defensible band, and our listing tools keep your range advertising compliant.
Lowest rate, biggest dollar trap
VIC has the lowest average commission rate, which lulls sellers into not negotiating. On a $1.05M Melbourne median, 2.0% is still about $21,000. A flat $900 keeps nearly all of it.
Vendor disclosure in VIC: Section 32 (Vendor Statement)
Victoria requires a Section 32 vendor statement before any contract is signed: title, zoning, planning, building permits, owners corporation, easements and outgoings. Unreserved prepares this as part of your flat-fee campaign. Cooling-off: Buyers in Victoria have a 3-business-day cooling-off period on private-treaty sales. There is no cooling-off period for sales at public auction.
Licensing & conduct in VIC is governed by the Estate Agents Act 1980 (Vic).
