“What Agents wish Consumers knew
“1. We are not overpaid. Anyone who thinks this just doesn’t understand how our business works. Most real estate agents in most parts of the world work on a contingent fee basis. That means we work for free, we list houses for free, we show houses for free, we answer your questions for free. All of this is in the expectation that upon providing results we get paid.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that we are a bargain! Agents typically charge between five and seven per cent. Compare this to other contingent fee-based businesses that charge as much as 50 per cent.”
