MIL paid a total of 2.5% through Harcourts. That was amazing I thought.]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2008 08:44:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19418&PID=448020&title=real-estate-agent-fees#448020 <![CDATA[Real Estate Agent Fees : we were with remax, and we paid...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19418&PID=448005&title=real-estate-agent-fees#448005 Author: Kazzle

Thanks for the info and advice ladies!

Here I was thinking it may be something like 7% or over ]]> Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:06:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19418&PID=447858&title=real-estate-agent-fees#447858 <![CDATA[Real Estate Agent Fees : I used to work in admin for a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19418&PID=447724&title=real-estate-agent-fees#447724 Author: Spirals

I used to work in admin for a real estate company and they used to charge 4% on the first $500k, and 2.5% on anything after that, plus a set $500 admin fee. Then of course there's GST on the whole lot.

However, we've recently listed our home with a friend who works as an agent for a different co and she charged me 3%, no admin fee.

They are all negotiable, especially in todays market when they are all fighting so hard for the scarce amount of listings that are coming on. ]]> Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:16:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19418&PID=447724&title=real-estate-agent-fees#447724 <![CDATA[Real Estate Agent Fees : Then you have the likes of RedEx...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19418&PID=447664&title=real-estate-agent-fees#447664 Author: caliandjack

Then you have the likes of RedEx who charge $7995 total for selling your property.
Average is 3.5-4% and you shouldn't pay more than 5% that's a rip off.]]> Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:55:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19418&PID=447664&title=real-estate-agent-fees#447664 <![CDATA[Real Estate Agent Fees : The ones that I have come across...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19418&PID=447620&title=real-estate-agent-fees#447620 Author: rachndean

The ones that I have come across seem to charge 4% for the first $200K, then either 3% or 2% on the balance (depending on the firm)
But they all seem to differ.
I think it should be something they should have to advertise on their websites!?!
Aparantly alot of them are quite negotiable at the moment with the current market????
Worth a try!!

Ours was 3.95% plus a $500 base fee they send to the real estate institute.

This was only last month and was LJ Hooker.

Hi Everyone

I'm trying to do a few calculations and I was wondering if anyone on here knows how much real estate agents charge to sell your home? How much percent of the sale? I know it probably varies but I just wondered if anyone could share what they know that would be great.

Thanks ]]> Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:23:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19418&PID=447588&title=real-estate-agent-fees#447588
