Tasmania is one of Australia's most loved places to live, and Tasmanian owners are embracing private sales! Agent commissions in Tasmania are the highest in the country, averaging about 2.96% (AgentBridge, June 2026). On Hobart's median house price of $818,557 (Domain, June quarter 2026), that's more than $24,000. PLBO replaces it with one upfront fee, so you keep 100% of your sale proceeds!
Keep the commission in your pocket
| Sale price | Typical commission (2.96%) | PLBO from | You keep up to |
|---|---|---|---|

| $1,500,000 | $44,400 | $699 | $43,701 |
Even with Vertex, PLBO's most complete campaign at $3,699, a median Hobart seller keeps more than $20,000. With Tasmania's high commission rates, private selling makes more sense here than almost anywhere!

How Tasmanian sales work
Tasmania's process is refreshingly simple:
- Standard contract: sales use the standard Contract for Sale of Real Estate, with its Particulars of Sale and Standard Conditions (Hobart Community Legal Service). Your conveyancer or lawyer prepares it.
- No statutory cooling-off: once both parties sign, the contract is binding.
- Buyer beware: Tasmania doesn't have a prescribed vendor statement like Victoria's Section 32, so buyers do their own checks. Smart Tasmanian sellers share a building and pest report and key documents up front, which builds buyer confidence and speeds up offers!
The full list is on the Tasmanian legal and tax checklist.
Why Tasmanians love selling privately
