I have a house viewing in damansara heights this morning by a property agent and surprised that he told me there would be a 1% buyer fee charged by agent if deal.

I thought agent only charged 3% from owner?

Is it a scam?

Pls advise

3% from owner

buyer maintains to pay 2% booking
hence u top up 1%

Agents can only claim from their client. If both side are their client, they can only choose 1 side to collect the fee. If he represented the owner, he only can get from owner

some owners back track on the 1% after signing means the agents only got 2%

either agent gets the buyer to pay full 3% or if buyer refuse, will get 2% from buyer and balance 1% from owner

2-3% from selling price, which is usually the booking fee paid by buyer.  Seller / buyer won't pay agent anything until property is sold.

Sorry i actually wanted to ask do buyer need to pay 1% COMMISSION fee to the property agent?

Is property agent supposed to collect commission fee from buyer?
