Nice to meet you (your priorities), not just your commission
Sure, we need to know the ins-and-outs of your home to sell it, but it’s our tunnel focus on understanding your priorities that makes for a high return experience & outcome. There’s so much to a great selling experience that if you’ve never had it you don’t know what you’re missing out on, and when done right make us worth our value.
Teamwork makes the dream work
You know how they say, it may take a village to raise a child, and we believe it takes a team to sell your home. We assign the best players to handle every moment and focus on each of us playing our role. Think of us more like a football team and not a tennis player.
We’ll get you the best price, blah blah blah
Getting you the best sale price is super important, obviously (you should expect this). But for us, that’s standard. What makes us different is our people, process and technology. Now that’s worth us telling you about.
Sell now, pay later
We all like shiny things, and more of us are paying in 4 instalments these days. Well you can now defer your marketing fees (photography, realestate.com.au etc) until settlement.

Is anybody there?
The real estate industry is great at ignoring buyers (spoiler alert - less than half of buyer enquiry gets a reply). We said a big fat, NO WAY to this and created a dedicated Customer Care team. It’s their job to make every person feel valued and heard, and respond to them 7 days a week, in real time.

Some of our more frequently asked questions when selling
The costs you incur to sell your home are split into two categories: marketing fees and commission.
Marketing fees reflect the costs we incur to beautifully and optimally market your property for sale, which include photography, drone aerial shots, 3D virtual tours and premiere+ listings on portals such as realestate.com.au. While some agencies offer 'free marketing', this approach has limited reach and doesn't guarantee you will get the best sale price. Backed by our proven processes and industry knowledge, we’d much rather spend $3000 in marketing fees and achieve another $50,000 more in your home sale price than going 'off market'. Marketing fees generally start from just over $2000 and can go up to $4000, depending on additional services such as targeted social media advertising. We understand this is a notable expense for many, which is why we offer a Sell Now, Pay Later system where through our partnership with RealtyAssist, you can go to market with the best campaign and pay nothing until settlement.
Commission is the fee paid to real estate agencies to sell your property, and is only paid upon successful settlement of your property. Commission in the industry can vary from budget 2% flat fees to premium 4% fees. Agencies will generally charge a higher commission based on their expertise and confidence in driving competition to get you the best possible sale price. To learn more about the commission fees associated with your property, check out our Fees & Commissions here.
A property valuation is a formal assessment by a property valuer that provides a comprehensive report about your property, and can provide a definitive property value when required - like by a bank when being approved for a new mortgage.
Property valuations take into consideration aspects including the the size and location of the property, the land size and type of terrain, bedrooms, bathrooms and lounge numbers, garaging options, quality of the building materials, any special zoning restrictions the house is under, features of the home, the condition of the property, any property damage, environmental risks to the property as well as the influence of the market on the sale price of the property. There are many other factors beyond this that are considered in a valuation, including similar property sales in your area.
A property appraisal is a professional opinion of the value of your property, so you can gain a better idea of the market value of your home as well as what to place as an asking price (or reserve price at auction) before opting to pay for a formal valuation. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to identify any pre-sale work on the house that can go a long way in adding value to your home.
Here at Kindred, we can conduct appraisals in three ways: digitally, virtually with a video call walk through, or an in-person appraisal with one of our agents.
We believe the right agency for you will be one that makes the time to get to know you and your home, is fully transparent about each step of the selling process, maintains excellent communication, has the right tools, technology and processes to do the very best by you and your home, and keeps you fully supported throughout your entire selling experience, backed by their entire team. This is what you get with Kindred.
When we talk about marketing in real estate, we’re talking about those photographic, video-based and content-based elements that create that stunning first impression for someone searching for a new home - and can even make a person visualise their family in your home long before they’ve set foot in the door for a viewing. As such, we do highly recommend budgeting accordingly for marketing, so we can use our proven, best-practice strategies to attract the widest range of qualified buyers and help you get the best sale price for your home - and thereby easily offset any marketing costs.
Your marketing with us specifically includes professional photography including drone aerial shots, 3D virtual tours, email and SMS campaigns, plus publishing on Australia's #1 property portal, realestate.com.au with our Premiere+ partnership.
The cost of marketing is a big consideration for many sellers, which is why we offer a Sell Now, Pay Later system where through our partnership with RealtyAssist, you can go to market with the best campaign and pay nothing until settlement.
Aside from opening your home up to a range of new buyers due to being able to “access” your home from any national or international location, properties that have virtual tours available get an 80% increase in enquiries, have a 300% higher engagement rate than photography alone, and even sell your home up to 31% faster.
When it comes to getting your home ready for a sale, it can feel like the options are endless and a home is never really ‘finished’ - so this is where you want to invest your time and money into the aspects that will be most worthwhile for you in terms of the return, based on what buyers typically look for. The easiest way to know the best options for your home is by completing an appraisal with us, so we can advise you on the ‘quick wins’ to maximise your home’s appeal and sale price with minimum time, effort and expense, as well as more intensive ways to prepare your home and remedy any issues if that’s something you’re prepared to do.
We’re really good at what we do - and that’s being a real estate agency that genuinely cares for people - not social media models that feel the need to plaster themselves on buses and billboards. You’ll find us investing our time and efforts into our customers instead.
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from the current owner (vendor or seller) to a new owner (purchaser or buyer). Hence, a conveyancer (which in Queensland is a solicitor) should be appointed as soon as you are committed to buying or selling your home, as they will complete the due diligence needed to protect you throughout the buying and selling process.
We recommend choosing a conveyancer for many of the same reasons you’d choose us as your real estate team - for their experience, their proven track record of success, and importantly their care of you as a client and helping you get the very best experience and information throughout the process
