[SAGA] Property Agent only charge flat fee of $1999

[matrix05]

Now with homeseller, smartseller offering fixed fees to sell, those 2% agents all jialat liao.

Nice. More agents giving this model a go. Soon home seller. Smartsellers, quicksellers, and hybrid sellers - option to do $1999 and 2%.

All property agents should be on fixed price model, regardless of floor size HDB flat $2000, condo $4000 and landed $5000-10000. It’s not that hard to market a property.

Those 2% agents already don’t like this flat fee idea. Add it to a vocal owner of the company, even more dislike

 

[s-ghost]

saw got one girl also doing flat fee but hers is higher flat fee

i guess still can't give up those posh cars and lavish holidays

 

[hachi]

Cna a good agent sell off a bad unit? If can justify the cost if not? Then don't bother...

Now buyers also not sotong, they will offer market prices based on hdb resale transaction (for hdb) and ura transaction caveat (for condo). 2% agents got magic to trick buyers into paying more? Don't think so.

It's those 2% agent salty that homeseller charge fixed 1999 nia.

Almost 90% discount for 1 million hdb. Save 18k wow..
But if the property agent can bring in higher price then really no difference. The seller can pay the commission by selling higher.

 

[pippo20]

Actually people like u are the ones who sow discord between fixed price agents vs 2% agents.

2% agents can still provide values for sellers who are not in SG. Buyers still need to go viewing right?

Ok noted, guess the only good pt of 2% agent is seller not in singapore.

For 99% other cases where sellers are in spore, then how? Still gonggong pay 2% or fixed fee.

 

[impressionimage]

if a seller can save for a fixed fee, why go for 2 percent? crazy sibo, don't want money give me la

I talked to a 2% agent before, he said how would i feel if my employer deduct my pay by half and he told me 2% is bare minimum for agents to make a living lol.

In the end, i use smartseller to sell my condo for fixed $7,700. Just post on propertyguru and sold it within a month. Guess the smartseller agent is doing charity if what the 2% agent said is true.

if that is true, means too many property agents in SG. so this $1999 'saga' is actually good for both parties. weed out the excess, then rest of agents can earn, win-win to buyer n sellers.

Well it depends. Just base on who is conducting the viewing there are various reasons whether to engage 2% agents.

1. Sellers long term not in SG as discussed
2. House is being rented fully. In this case need to liaise with tenant(s) everytime there is a viewing to open doors. U want to do this “sai kang”??
3. Communication barriers, including language, negotiations or some sellers are just not that “chatty”.
4. Some properties are really cannot sell on its own, need talented 2% agents to help to market

What i am saying is fixed price agents like homesellers are not competing with 2% agents for properties as mentioned above.

It is just pure luck and timing that seals the deal. Never believe a millionaire agent can do miracles to your property.

Why didn’t you get Homeseller ($4,999) to do the same thing and you could had saved a few thousand dollars?

Bare minimum for agents? Yes when houses still selling at 30k a unit.

Now it isn't. This 2% is a windfall for them.

 

[orhneeorh]

got $999 agent ??

 

[airman88]

Actually it is a good deal to engage Homeseller for access to “agents only” portals like propertyguru etc to list your properties

 

[paperplane1943]

U pay the bank for the valuation right?

Then on what basis the bank makes the valuation? Past transaction records?

you can ask the valuation companies directly how they determine. there are a few out there
