We encourage our clients to spend a reasonable amount on “effective marketing” to gain the best result, however we don’t encourage excessive amounts spent on inappropriate media or advertising simply to promote the image of the agency at the client’s expense.

Likewise, the advertisements prepared are prepared with the intent of selling the clients property rather than enhancing the image or visibility of the agency at the client’s expense.

Marketing subsidy by Invest Realty Limited (Up to 15% of commission):*conditions apply

Realising we also benefit from successful marketing campaigns, in that we get commission on the sale, we offer 50% marketing subsidy to a maximum cost to us of 15% of the commission payable (see subsidy table below), but only on a successful sale. That subsidy is not offered in the event the property doesn’t sell, is sold privately or by another agent for which Invest Realty Limited doesn’t get paid a commission, or is withdrawn from sale, and is subject to these terms and conditions: –

  1. All advertising must be approved by Invest Realty Ltd prior to publication / distribution (per clause 18.6 General Terms and Conditions Property Agency Agreement)
  2. The full cost of the agreed marketing budget must be paid by the client upfront and prior to commencement of the marketing program, any subsidy will be deducted from the commission payable.
  3. Credit card fees (if any) for marketing charges are not part of the marketing costs for which Invest Realty Limited will offer subsidy and must be paid by the client.
  4. Only advertising / promotional charges expressly detailed in agreed advertising budgets are eligible for marketing subsidies. Other advertising / marketing expenses incurred by the client in promotion of the property will only be eligible under the marketing subsidy scheme if expressly agreed to, and authorised, in writing, by Invest Realty Limited, prior to incurring the expense.
  5. Clients may if they wish engage, and instruct, their own marketing agencies provided any promotion done, is done in accordance with the provisions of clause 18.6 of the Property Agency Agreement, and any costs incurred will only be eligible under the marketing subsidy scheme if expressly agreed to, and authorised, in writing, by Invest Realty Limited, prior to incurring the expense. All invoices for supply of marketing services to be claimed under the marketing subsidy scheme must be provided to Invest Realty Limited.
  6. The marketing subsidy is only offered on a 50/50 basis with the client on agreed costs incurred in advertising / marketing the property for sale and has no other redeemable value if not expended.
