How is my potential saving calculated?

We calculate commission using your expected sale price and quoted rate, add GST only if you say it is excluded, then add your separate GST-inclusive marketing costs. We compare that total with KeyHive Modern Agent’s $10,500 total. Both sides assume the same sale price. The result is an estimate, not a promise of a sale price or saving.

How do I calculate real estate commission?

Multiply the sale price by the commission rate, then divide by 100. For example, 2.5% of a $1,000,000 sale is $25,000. If that rate excludes GST, the commission becomes $27,500. Add $5,000 in GST-inclusive marketing and the quote totals $32,500. These are example figures; use your own agent’s quote in the calculator.

Does my agent’s commission rate include GST?

Check the written quote. Select the GST checkbox if the quoted rate includes GST; leave it unticked if GST is extra. The calculator adds GST only when it is excluded, so it is not counted twice.

What if marketing is included in my agent’s commission?

Set the separate marketing field to $0. If marketing is charged separately, enter the full GST-inclusive amount from your quote. This avoids counting the same cost twice.

What does KeyHive’s total include?

Modern Agent includes the standard campaign and an agent managing buyers, inspections, negotiations and the contract process. You pay $2,500 to launch and $8,000 at successful settlement. The campaign includes photography, floorplan, signboard, realestate.com.au Premiere+, Domain, REIWA and KeyHive advertising. Extra work outside the standard scope is agreed separately.

Are these the total costs of selling my home?

No. This calculator compares the commission, marketing and GST you enter with KeyHive’s package fee. Settlement-agent fees, moving costs and other third-party selling costs are separate. Check the inclusions in each quote.

Will the saving pay for the trip, car or home cinema?

Those are ideas for what you could put the difference towards, not price quotes or guaranteed purchases. Your actual saving and what it buys depend on your quote, the sale and the choices you make.
