Hi all,
I have searched the various threads etc on this topic but can't seem to find any up to date info on this.
From my experience, i am getting quoted 1% by all the big boys, and as low as 1/2% with a newcomer on the scene (who has incidentally completed the last sale on our development). I've never sold before. so was disgusted by the 1% quotes (until i saw that according to what I see on here, 1.25% was the norm last year). I mean, what is there to it? Stick it on myhome.ie with a few pictures and off we go - 4K in the pocket.
Now my question is this, do i go for the the lowest commission or do i take the guys who know the business best to try and eke out a few grand extra? According to any agent I've talked to, there is plenty of interest in the development. The low commission guy reckons that 381K is my limit, whilst the others feel that 381K will be breached and 390K should be expected, with a reasonable chance of 400K.
Could I negotiate some scheme whereby the agents get an increasing commission based on the price achieved?
