Editorial context
Working with a provider in Fortitude Valley – what matters
When appointing a real estate agent in Fortitude Valley, it is useful to distinguish between selling, letting and ongoing property management. Place New Farm lists all three services. An initial discussion should therefore establish which team will handle the instruction, who will be the main contact and how regularly progress updates will be provided.
For a sale, owners should ask for relevant comparable properties in the local submarket and an explanation of the proposed price assessment. Coverage of several neighbouring suburbs does not replace checking experience with the particular property type. Since Place New Farm also offers auctions, owners should discuss the recommended sales method, timetable and associated costs. An obligation-free market appraisal is not a promise of a future sale price.
The marketing budget is another consideration. Place’s website describes several advertising formats and a separate fee for campaign management and administration by Idealist. Before proceeding, the included activities, additional costs and payment dates should be recorded in writing. If off-market marketing is proposed, owners should also discuss how it fits into the overall sales strategy.
For landlords, relevant questions include the scope of tenant sourcing and ongoing management, reporting arrangements, and procedures for repairs and enquiries. Google reviews can provide additional indications of communication practices. However, the selection supplied here is not a substitute for a direct conversation or a review of the specific service proposal.

Aaron has sold multiple properties for me over the years (and has also helped me find new ones whenever I decide I want to move... yet again!), and there's a reason I keep going back to him. Putting our long-standing friendship aside, his track record speaks for itself. When Aaron first told me he wanted to become a real estate agent, I remember thinking, "Well, at least there'll be one out there I can trust!” Thankfully, I was right. Aaron is kind, honest, straight to the point, and never tells you what you want to hear—he tells you what you need to hear. He's incredibly knowledgeable, works tirelessly behind the scenes, and genuinely has your best interests at heart. Buying and selling property is stressful enough, but having someone you completely trust makes all the difference. I simply wouldn't use anyone else. And from someone who generally isn't a huge fan of real estate agents...
I had a great experience selling my property with Aaron Woolard and the team at Place Agents. Aaron was friendly, professional, and easy to deal with throughout the whole process. He kept me well informed, gave clear advice, and made everything feel straightforward. I really appreciated the effort from Aaron and his team and would happily recommend them to anyone looking to sell.
I’ve had a really positive experience with my property manager, Ashlea. She has been professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. Any questions or issues I’ve had were handled quickly and efficiently, which made everything much less stressful. Communication has always been clear and timely, and it’s obvious she cares about both the property and the tenants. It was nice to be dealing with someone who is organised, approachable, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure things run smoothly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive property manager.
This has been the nicest interaction we’ve had with an estate agent. Flyn was easy going, accommodative of our needs and displayed excellent levels of communication from start to finish. We really appreciate that he didn’t pressure us to buy, or get things done at an unreasonable speed. This more laid back approach was a welcome reprieve from estate agents we have dealt with in the past. He also seemed genuinely happy for us when we found the right place, which was really lovely. Thank you Flyn!
We had a fantastic experience working with Josh from Place to rent out our apartment in Teneriffe. He was professional, responsive, and kept us informed throughout the entire process, making everything easy and stress-free. Josh's local market knowledge and proactive approach helped us secure great tenants quickly. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to lease their property.

Services in this field explained
A valuation estimates the price a property can achieve on the market, based on location, condition, size, fittings and comparable sales.
What does a valuation cost? Many agents offer an initial estimate free of charge. A formal market value report by a certified surveyor is paid; the fee depends on the property and effort.
When you sell, an agent handles valuation, exposé, viewings, negotiation and the notary appointment.
Who pays the agent's commission? When flats and single-family houses are sold to consumers, the commission is generally split between seller and buyer (§ 656c German Civil Code).
When letting, an agent takes care of listing, viewings, tenant selection and the tenancy agreement.
Who pays the agent when letting? Since 2015 the “orderer pays” principle applies to residential lettings: usually the landlord pays when they hired the agent.
