By comparing the costs of the real estate agent with other agents, you ensure a good negotiating position. To find a real estate agent, it is wise not to make your choice on cost alone. There are many other important points. Almost every local real estate agent works with a brokerage fee when selling your home.

Your house will be placed on popular housing sites like Funda, Huispedia and Jaap.nl. Also within the tasks of the Internet real estate agent, costs can vary. In general, there are additional costs for: photos, floor plans, placing ads and a for-sale sign. With every Internet , you have to arrange the viewings and write the real estate texts yourself.

When you start researching the real estate agent fees or costs of different agents, you will quickly discover that these vary enormously. We have listed several important aspects that determine the height of the brokerage commission of a real estate agent:
Currently, there are more house hunters than homes for sale. This makes it a favourable period for people who want to sell their homes. The higher selling price can be achieved due to the huge housing shortage. Overbidding is no longer a special feature these days but is almost the norm. Another additional benefit is that a real estate agent can sell your home easier and faster than before. You can use this to your advantage because the real estate agent has to put less effort into the sale. This makes it easier to negotiate with these agents. In addition, there are currently far fewer houses for sale. This ensures that the real estate agents themselves have fewer homes for sale. Since the real estate agent’s job is to buy and sell homes they are only too happy to do so! The willingness to drop the realtor’s fees will be a lot higher.

When selling a property, the real estate agent usually charges a commission, this is often in the form of a percentage over the selling price of your house. There are also other types of fees besides the usual percentage that real estate agents charge, usually agents’ fees are negotiable and negotiable. Below are some types of fees, which real estate agents may apply:
Besides the brokerage fee that the agent charges, a real estate agent may also offer a performance bonus. This is basically; if the agent manages to achieve a higher selling price of your house than the asking price, the agent also gets a higher commission. This can be a percentage of the negotiation result.
A graduated scale is very similar to a performance bonus from the real estate agent and it practically is, only with a graduated scale, the agent can agree on gradations, and what the bonus will be on the sale.
So when it’s ten thousand more, the agent can receive 5 per cent of the additional bid price. While when it’s twenty thousand more the agents can get up to 10 percent.
The most common thing when selling a property is for an agent to charge a percentage over the sale price, the percentage is often negotiable.
With a fixed fee, an estate agent always charges a fixed amount; this is always agreed upon in advance so there are no surprises. Should the estate agent now sell the house for much more money, the estate agent will receive the amount as agreed.
