SELLING WITH KEYLINE REALTY
DON’T JUST SELL. SELL FOR MORE.
When selling one of your largest financial assets, the strategy and agency you choose matter.
Research shows that 78% of properties are undersold, meaning sellers accept less than buyers were actually prepared to pay.*

At Keyline Realty, we use The Smartre Sale, a proven selling system designed to minimise the risk of underselling and give your property the best opportunity to achieve its highest possible price.
The Smartre Sale brings together the right agent, method of sale, pricing, marketing, inspections and negotiation into one considered strategy, with the seller's best interests at the centre of every decision.
THE INVISIBLE LOSS
A GOOD PRICE ISN’T ALWAYS THE BEST PRICE
One of the greatest risks when selling isn't failing to sell. It's selling successfully and never knowing you could have achieved more. Imagine your property sells for $900,000. You're happy with the result. But what if the buyer was actually prepared to pay $940,000? That $40,000 difference is the Invisible Loss.
For most sellers, it is impossible to see after the event. The property has sold, the buyer is happy and the seller may be happy too. But unless the sales and negotiation process was designed to uncover the buyer's highest price, there may have been money left on the table. And once the property is sold, there is no opportunity to recover it.
It’s never the house’s fault, it’s the strategy used to sell it.
WHY SELL WITH KEYLINE?
THE RIGHT PEOPLE
The agent you choose can have a significant influence on the final price you achieve.
Our salespeople are employed members of the Keyline team, rather than independent commission-only contractors. They’re trained to work together, share buyers and opportunities, and are incentivised as a team to achieve the best possible result for our sellers.
It means the focus isn’t simply on getting a property sold. It’s on getting the highest price.
GENUINE BUYER COMPETITION
Finding a buyer is only part of the job. The real skill is determining the highest price that buyer is prepared to pay.
The Smartre Sale uses a structured negotiation process designed to ensure the buyer has paid their highest price.
Our objective is not to secure an acceptable offer. It is to give you the best opportunity to achieve the highest price the market is prepared to pay.
A GENUINE SALES TEAM WORKING FOR YOU
When you sell with Keyline Realty, you’re not relying on one agent and their individual database of buyers.
You have a whole team working for your sale.
It starts with our Team Inspection, where our salespeople inspect your property together so everyone understands the home and can identify buyers they are already working with who may be suitable.
From there, buyers and opportunities are shared across the team. If another Keyline agent has someone looking for a property like yours, they can introduce that buyer, arrange an inspection and work with them throughout the sale.
Our sales agents are also supported by our administration team across marketing, contracts and the day-to-day coordination of your campaign, along with the support of our principal.
The result is a more flexible and coordinated approach to selling your property. Buyers can deal with the right person at the right time, inspections can be arranged more easily, and your sale isn’t dependent on the availability or contacts of one agent.
SMARTER MARKETING
Good marketing isn’t about spending the most money. It’s about spending money where it is most likely to make a difference. We consider your property, its likely buyers and the current market before recommending a marketing strategy.
The aim is to generate the right exposure and buyer interest while avoiding unnecessary costs that ultimately come out of your pocket.
THE RIGHT METHOD OF SALE
How your property is sold shapes a buyers perception of its value, the right method delivers better results, irrespective of market conditions.
STRATEGIC PRICING
Setting the right price is an art and a science. What price your property is taken to market, and what you decide to accept are vital decisions.
The market value of your property isn’t determined purely by an agent’s opinion. Ultimately, it is the highest price a willing buyer is prepared to pay.
Our pricing strategy is designed to maximise buyer interest without unnecessarily limiting what the market may be prepared to pay.
INSPECTIONS THAT CREATE OPPORTUNITY
A great inspection is so much more than just opening a door. An often overlooked, yet important part of obtaining the best result. Every inspection is an opportunity to find the right buyer.
Because our agents work together, your property can be shown to buyers at any time.
Buyer interest and feedback are managed throughout the campaign so opportunities aren’t missed and momentum is maintained.
OUR GUARANTEE
If an agent isn’t prepared to guarantee their service, why offer it?
We believe you should stay with us because you’re happy with our service, not because a contract says you have to.
If your circumstances change, you decide not to sell, or you simply don’t want to continue with Keyline Realty, we’ll release you from the agency agreement.
It’s about giving you greater control and confidence throughout the sale.
LOCAL SINCE 1979
Keyline Realty has been part of the Sunshine Coast community since 1979.
More than four decades of local experience has given our team a deep understanding of the properties, people and markets we serve. We combine that knowledge with a proven modern selling strategy to achieve the best possible result for our sellers.
Anyone can sell your property. Our job is to make sure you don’t undersell it.
MEET YOUR SALES TEAM
A WHOLE TEAM WORKING FOR YOUR SALE
Our team structure is an important part of how we sell. Rather than our agents operating as individual businesses under the same roof, our salespeople are employed by Keyline and work together.
From the moment your property is listed, every Keyline sales agent can introduce their buyers to your property and contribute to the sale.
Behind them is our wider team, including administration, marketing, contracts coordination and our principal, helping to keep the campaign moving.
It means more buyer connections, greater availability for inspections, shared knowledge and more people looking for opportunities to achieve the best result for you.

EXCELLENT Based on 416 reviews Posted on GoogleJulian SadleirTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark and Zara were really helpful throughout the whole process. I would recommend them to anyone.Posted on GoogleScott WeberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark, Zara and the team were nothing short of amazing. From breaking down the contracts and conditions, to guiding us on prices in a buyer’s market, to negotiating the final price their service was impeccable.Posted on GoogleNathan SalangsangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hazel Combs from the team was an absolute delight to work with! Very professional & made the purchase process a smooth as possiblePosted on GoogleCarita ObrienTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Updating my review! We purchesed through keyline. After hunting all over the show with multiple different agencies, i can guarantee if we ever sell, It will only be through keyline! The transparency and honesty from keyline protects the seller from any legal ramifications from a buyer. (Somthing we learnt along the way) . Mark Dunlop was unbelievably helpful! He made his schedule fit to our schedule, he answered any queries we had, no matter the time, day or night. He showed us through the property multiple times. He dug up any information we needed to make our sale as seamless as humanly possible. There were other houses we were looking at in the begining, but the issue was how reluctant the agents had been to give us the information made us feel uncomfortable as buyers. He was the reason we decided we would definitely purchase through keyline. ONLY keyline. We stopped bothering with other agencys. And then he delivered! Its the perfect home for us. Just in budget. We will likely be selling in 7-10 years. And we will be getting Mark to sell for us, perticularly from the leagle perspective, he is the safest bet for a seller, and i know he will get us the absolute best price possible-hopefully he hasn't retired at that point. Zara Bartle, our Contract Coordinator- she was wonderfull too! Keyline puts that in place to make everything seamless and without bias- i dont know if anyone else dose that. But i doubt it. She looked through the house with us- for our perspective. She handeled our contract for our perspective. Our leagle representitive even noted how good the contract was for both parties. our lawyers advice was if we sell in future keyline would be a good option. Hazel Combs also showed us a different property. She was also WONDERFUL! She was honest and had answers to all our nitty gritty questions ( or was willing to dig it out just like Mark). I do believe keyline purposfully hand picks the best agents possible. God only knows how that team got to be so bloody GOOD in a feild that is otherwise so horrific to work with. Keyline realy goes above and beyond to make every aspect as well fitting as humanly possible. I had left other viewings crying from how dismissive the agents had been and left every keyline viewing feeling like each house was THE ONE. Thats a huge noteable difrence in presintation from agents. I honestly can not praise enough. I feel sorry for sellers working with other agencys. We wont make that mistake when we eventualy sell.Posted on GoogleMilos PopadicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Keyline Realty team has been just wonderful, highly responsive with excellent communication throughout the process. Thank you so much for making this my purchase go so smoothly and looking forward to many years ahead of trusting you with my most important investment.Posted on Googlegerry groblerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was a great experience all roundPosted on GoogleKylie FosterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An absolute lifesaver for first home buyers! 5 Stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As first home buyers, we were naturally quite nervous entering the property market, but Nicky completely changed that for us. We felt a great connection with Nicky from the very first moment we met her at the initial open home. She was incredibly welcoming, warm, and took the time to listen to our needs when other agents just rushed us through. Throughout the entire process, Nicky was professional, patient, and always available to answer our endless questions. She took all the stress out of buying our first home and turned it into an exciting, seamless milestone. We cannot thank her enough for her and the Keyline team for their dedication and genuine support. If you are looking for an agent who truly cares about her clients, we highly recommend Nicky!Posted on GoogleVasanthy WeberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark from Keyline has gone above and beyond to help us find a home. He did a letter box drop in the area and got results for us. Mark amd rest of the team have been transparent and communicate well with you through the process. I definitely recommend using them to buy or sell.Posted on GoogleMacie HaackTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently leased a property managed by Holly, she was great to deal with, quick with responding to any concerns and communication was great between us and the owners! Jackie was great throughout our exit inspection process! Both very compassionate and genuine Highly recommend leasing through keyline!!Posted on GoogleEthan HodgsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
