Two ways to sell - you pick one. The bars are drawn to scale; the gap is what stays in your pocket.

Indicative only. Actual costs vary by agent, marketing scope, and final sale price. We can't guarantee what you'll sell for. Propa is a marketing platform, not a real estate agency. State averages used: see sources below.

How honest is this number?

We're more interested in being trusted than being optimistic.

Agent commission = your asking price × the state average commission percentage. Agent marketing = the median agent marketing spend for your state. We subtract your Propa cost (the free Listing is $0; Propa Premier is $899 one-time). That gives an indicative saving only. Your actual saving may differ materially. See our methodology page for the assumptions behind these figures.

Yes, drawn from ABS, REIA, and a couple of property comparison sites. They're averages, so individual agents charge more or less. Some agents in metro areas charge 1.5%; some in regional areas charge 3.5%. Sources are listed at the bottom of this page.

No. It's an indicative number based on averages. We can't guarantee what an agent would charge you, and we can't guarantee what you'd sell for. The honest answer is: "you could save around this much, depending."

Then your Propa cost goes up by the Boost Pack weekly amount × however many weeks you run it (plus the one-off $99 setup fee). Even at Mega Boost for the whole campaign, the saving vs an agent is still significant. The PDF breakdown lets you model it. Figures are indicative and your actual saving may differ materially.

Then you didn't pay an agent's commission either, so the saving is at least the Propa package price plus any marketing. We're upfront: no platform guarantees a sale. The Propa fee is one-time; you don't pay again to relist later.
