WA WORKED EXAMPLE
A Perth median sale, two ways
On Perth’s ~$820,000 median house, a 2.5% agent commission is about $20,500 before marketing. The same sale with Unreserved is a flat $900. That’s a difference of roughly $19,600 that stays in your pocket. Calculate your WA commission below and compare it to Unreserved’s flat $900 fee. On a Perth median house at 2.5%, that’s around $20,000 you keep instead of handing over at settlement.

SELLING IN WA
What Western Australia sellers need to know
No cooling-off period in WA
Western Australia is one of the few places in the country with no statutory cooling-off period. A signed offer and acceptance binds the buyer at once, so getting the price and contract right the first time matters more here.
Settlement agents, not solicitors
WA conveyancing is usually handled by licensed settlement agents. Unreserved coordinates with your settlement agent so the private sale runs through to settlement.
Offer & Acceptance contract
WA sales run on the standard O&A contract with the Joint Form of General Conditions. We prepare a compliant contract and the required title, rates and strata disclosures.
Vendor disclosure in WA: Contract & Joint Form of General Conditions
WA uses the standard Contract for Sale by Offer and Acceptance with the Joint Form of General Conditions. There is no single mandated vendor statement, but title, rates and strata records must be disclosed. Unreserved prepares this as part of your flat-fee campaign. Cooling-off: Western Australia has no statutory cooling-off period for residential property. Once an offer is accepted and signed, the buyer is bound, so accurate pricing and a clean contract matter from the outset.
Licensing & conduct in WA is governed by the Real Estate and Business Agents Act 1978 (WA).
