A professional real estate agent: its importance

A real estate agent is a consultant specializing in the purchase and sale of residential and commercial real estate. The guidance of a Real Estate Advisor is the key when acquiring property because he knows the sector’s financial, tax, and legal environment. An experienced agent will answer the questions of your clients and will have the knowledge, contacts, and resources necessary for the sale transaction to be successful.

Who pays the agent's fees?

In a property sale and purchase transaction, there are, in general, two agents involved, although it is common to find a mediating agent who manages both parties.

Usually, the person who sells the property is responsible for paying the agent's fees. Fees are between 3% and 6% of the sale price, generally. It means that the buyer does NOT pay the commission and should not worry about this.

However, there are communities in which both those who sell and those who buy pay. Also, if the buyer hires a personal shopper, they must pay fees throughout the territory since it is an extra service that adds value to the exclusive management of the buyer.
