A Real Estate Sales Agent handles property deals for buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants across Australia. They are licensed under state and territory real estate laws.
Agents find out what clients need, source the right properties, and negotiate sale or lease terms. They advise vendors on how to market their property, such as through auctions or open house events. Local market knowledge is core to the role.
Alongside sales work, agents handle leasing, check tenancy compliance, and may refer clients to conveyancers. They also help build business plans and marketing strategies for their agency.
Career growth can lead to agency principal or specialist roles in commercial, residential, or luxury property. Pay reflects both a base salary and commission, rewarding agents who perform and build strong client ties.
