    Just noting a sales agent in Perth who seems to move a lot of stock.
    But its annoying to use his sales as comparisons because he doesnt seem to ever get great prices. Pretty ordinary prices. Other agents get the bigger prices but dont seem to be selling as much.
    Maybe he has cheap commission?

    Maybe he uses good negotiation tactics to condition vendors.

    Not every sale will be a street record, does the agent target bread & butter properties?

    That's what I was thinking ;)

    @Whitecat most agents tout their big sales, they rarely ever disclose the low end of their market sales, it's because they want any vendor to think that they will be most likely to get the best price for them (And sign).

    It sounds to me like this agent would be the better option if your property is an average/usual property

    I'm not looking to sell I'm just monitoring the market after I bought.
    But yeah maybe he is doing the more basic properties and that's what he specialises in
