Does it cost money to get a rental appraisal?
No. A rental appraisal from a property manager is free: the agency provides it in the hope of winning the management of your property, and you are under no obligation to appoint them. It is different from a valuation by a licensed valuer, which is a paid written report used by lenders and courts. Ask two or three local agencies for one and compare their fee schedules with the table on this page before you choose.
What is involved in a rental appraisal?
A property manager looks at the property, in person or from photos and a description, and compares it with similar properties recently let nearby: the same suburb, dwelling type and bedroom count. They give you a rent range, usually as a weekly figure, and explain what moves it, such as condition, parking, air conditioning and whether pets are allowed. In Jacobs Well the median house rent is $1,250 a week (Queensland RTA bond data, June 2026), which is the middle of the market rather than a quote for your property. The appraisal comes in writing, and you can ask for the agency's fee schedule with it so you can compare it with the table on this page.
