AU Australia property term
Real Estate Agent Commission
Western Australia
Plain-English definition
The remuneration a property seller agrees to pay the selling agency, commonly as a fixed amount, percentage of sale price or combination.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
WA commission is negotiable and should be recorded in the appointment to act. Buyers should remember the selling agent is paid to represent the vendor, even when the agent is helpful during the purchase.
