Property sales Market position

The Agency’s offerings across both brands boast a superior financial and non-financial value to sales agents above independent operations and traditional franchises

Enhanced fee offering across the market Whilst franchised based brand networks dominate the Australian brokerage market, it creates significant fee leakage away from agents with multiple layers of administration and costs that sit above an agent, including the franchisee and the franchisor.

The primary alternative for agents has been to establish their own operations, either standalone or with peers. In exchange for a higher share or their fee income agents take on significant overhead cost and administrative burden.

The Agency and SLP brands provide overall larger profits to the agent than a traditional franchise or an independent operations, respectively:

  • The Agency brand returns previously leaked fees to the agent, with the same level of support as a traditional franchise
  • The SLP brand enables agents to operate an independent operation with a highly sophisticated cost efficient technology platform
