Five things to compare
How do I choose a real estate agent in Cairns?
Choose the agent who can show recent sales like yours, close to you, at prices near what they predicted. Then compare fees, marketing and how they communicate.
Recent sales near you
Ask for their sales in your suburb in the last six months: address, price and how long each took.
Days on market
Compare their days on market with the suburb average. Faster usually means better pricing advice.
Fee and marketing cost
Get the commission and an itemised marketing budget in writing, then compare the total. Fees explained
Communication
Ask how often you will hear from them, and who you will deal with day to day.
Reviews
Read reviews on Google and RateMyAgent from sellers, not only buyers, and look at the dates.
By suburb
How fast do houses sell?
Average days on market for 3-bedroom houses over the last 12 months. Shorter is faster.

Checking results
Who is the best real estate agent in Cairns to sell my house?
The best agent for your house is the one with the strongest recent results for properties like yours in your suburb. No single agent is best for every Cairns property.
To check an agent’s results:
- Search the portals for recent sales in your street and suburb, and note which agents sold them.
- Ask each agent for the sale prices and their original price guide, so you can see how close they were.
- Compare their days on market with the suburb’s average. Our suburb pages show sourced figures.
- Read their seller reviews, and ask for two past sellers you can call.
