Australians deserve to get the most out of their property sales. It's your hard-earned asset, after all. Yet, navigating the real estate market can sometimes feel like tiptoeing through a financial minefield. A great agent can be worth their weight in gold, but a bad one might just snatch thousands out of your pocket and straight into theirs. Let's explore the costs of selling your property and how the Artis app stacks up against traditional agents.

Selling your home through a traditional agent comes with several expenses that can quickly add up. Here's a breakdown of what you might expect:

• Marketing fees: This includes professional photos, videography, signage,and online listings to showcase your property effectively.
• Agent commissions: The industry average typically ranges from 2% to 5% of the final sale price.
• Auction costs: If you opt for an auction, there are additional expenses such as auctioneer fees and venue hire.

For instance, on a $1 million property sale, you could be looking at tens of thousands of dollars in fees alone.

Now, let's talk about a simpler, more cost-effective alternative: the Artis app. With Artis, you pay a straightforward flat fee of just 0.3% of the final sale price. That's it. No hidden charges, no surprises. Plus, you only pay if you sell. There are no lock-in contracts, providing you with total flexibility throughout the process.

Consider this: on that same $1 million property sale, using Artis could potentially save you $27,000 in real estate agent commissions (when the agent rate is 3%).

Regardless of whether you choose to sell off-market or through an agent, there are a few other expenses to keep in mind:

• Conveyancing/solicitor fees: Legal fees for transferring the property title.
• Mortgage breaking or establishment fees: If you're still paying off your mortgage, there might be costs associated with breaking or establishing a new loan.
• Capital gains tax: For investment properties, you may need to factor in capital gains tax obligations.
• Moving and cleaning costs: Don't forget the expenses involved in relocating and preparing your property for sale.

• List your place for free: Yes, you read that right. There's no charge to list your property on the Artis app.
