which might be pertinent in this context?A study released yesterday by the Confederation of European Estate Agents showed that Irish commission averages just 1pc, giving us the lowest rate among the 17 countries surveyed. Most of the Irish agencies included in the survey are Dublin-based.
I see a big sign in the windows of Keenan Property Management/Auctioneers in Upper Abbey Street offering to sell houses for 0.5%. My sister in law's husband (is that my brother in law?If you shop around it's easy enough to get offers of 0.7% or 0.6%, doing a bit of haggling it's possible to get this down to 0.5% (possibly even lower??).
A 33% increase on a 0.6% commission [happen to use this as this is the rate I agreed for the sale of a family property, did get a 0.5% offer but didn't go with that agent for other reasons] is still below 1% (0.8%) so far from out of the question given the rates from the survey.
I see a big sign in the windows of Keenan Property Management/Auctioneers in Upper Abbey Street offering to sell houses for 0.5%. My sister in law's husband (is that my brother in law?) is an estate agent and says that people tend to drive hard bargains down to 0.5% these days. I'm sure that terms & conditions apply to such rates but it sounds like they are out there to be had by shopping around.

LOLHouses should be sold on a flat-fee basis similar to the way solicitors have gone...

Are they still brother/sister in law if they remarry (which may explain this)?
Also it doesn't make sense to say that it it takes the same amount of work/skill/approach to sell a €2m property as it does a €300k property. For example in most cases there is no shortage of potential buyers for a €300k property while candidates for a €2m property will by definition be more thin on the ground.
