QUOTE(airtawarian @ Apr 7 2016, 04:20 PM) It is illegal to charge the purchaser for the agent fees. Probably a complaint should be made against the said agent. Why is it illegal? This has been the practice for all property agent in Penang (and Johor as well if I'm not mistaken). In KL, the seller probably already factor in the agent fee into the property price. As buyer, if you are paying agent fee, just make sure you utilize the agent kao kao to do all the work for you (check strata title, property history...etc) |

QUOTE(airtawarian @ Apr 8 2016, 09:16 PM) " Has been Practice" doesn't mean it is legal. It is just that the buyer is not aware on this. You can only charge either one party. Probably there should be a strict enforcement by the authorities on the unscrupulous agent and we need to educate the public on this. Which article of the law states that it is illegal to charge buyer agent commission? If your statement is based on facts please provide source and links so that all buyers can benefit. |
