How to Reduce Selling Costs in Sans Souci

  1. Negotiate commission: Don't accept the first rate. Ask for a tiered structure that rewards the agent for exceeding your reserve.
  2. Right-size your marketing: A $6,000–$10,000 campaign is optimal for Sans Souci. Premium portal listings (realestate.com.au + Domain) should be the priority over print.
  3. DIY cosmetic prep: Painting, garden clean-up and decluttering can save $2,000–$3,000 if you're handy.
  4. Choose the right method: With 80% auction rate, auction is almost always the best option here.
