Queensland is booming, and more Queenslanders are choosing to sell privately! With Brisbane's median house price up 16.4% in a year (Domain, June 2026), a percentage commission is a bigger bite than ever. PLBO gives you professional exposure and tools for one upfront fee, so the savings stay with you.
The savings, in real dollars
Using Domain's Brisbane median house price of $1,212,562 (June quarter 2026) and the Queensland average commission of about 2.4% (AgentBridge, June 2026):
| Cost item | Agent sale | Private sale with PLBO |
|---|---|---|
| Sales commission | about $29,101 | $0 |
| Campaign and advertising | usually billed separately | one upfront fee: $699 – $3,699 inc GST |
| Professional presentation | usually in the marketing budget | included from Signature up |
| Form 2 and conveyancing | same | same |
| Your sale proceeds | minus commission | 100% yours |
On a median Brisbane house, a PLBO private sale keeps roughly $25,000 to $28,000 more with you. On a $2.2 million home, the commission alone would be about $52,800!
What that money could do
- Cover a big share of the transfer duty on your next home
- Fund a new pool, a deck or solar and a battery
- Go straight onto your next mortgage
The benefits beyond the money
You set the price
Your PLBO property comparables report shows recent sales of similar homes near you. In a fast-moving market, fresh evidence is gold.

Launch when you're ready, inspect at times that suit you, and agree settlement directly with your buyer.
You talk to buyers directly
From the Queenslander's VJ walls to the new build's alfresco and the breeze off Moreton Bay, you know your home's story, and buyers love hearing it first-hand.
You see every offer
PLBO's offer management lays out every offer side by side: price, deposit, conditions and settlement date.

Why Queensland suits private sales
- Booming demand, including a steady stream of interstate buyers

- Lifestyle appeal: from Brisbane's river suburbs to the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and the tropical north
Five private-sale myths, busted
"Buyers won't find me." They will! Your listing is on seven major portals plus PLBO.
"I can't get professional photos." Signature, Royal and Vertex include professional presentation.
"Pricing is guesswork." Your comparables report takes care of that.
"The Form 2 is complicated." Your solicitor or conveyancer prepares it.
"It'll take over my weekends." Two short inspections a week is plenty.
