3%?  Penang  Seller 1% Buyer 1%

U pay for the service worth, the 3% is justify provided the REN is capable of advising.

Don't forget the REN specialize at XX area because they have database on the transacted value in the past 10 years, so when u sell they will advise to set at certain price to get the right price.

Secondly, they have to advertise it with their own cost, be it website iproperty, mudah, property guru, physical banner etc. All this come out with their own cost.

Thirdly, the hassle of viewing, the agent has to entertain many viewers and follow up the case, imagine 20 viewers within a month, all this come with a cost.

The whole process will take at least 4-6 months to get it done, unlike rental whereby the deal can be close within a month or two. Most importantly for a seller is, whether the agent is able to sell it higher than transacted price for u.

all agents in penang practice this

penang and i think jb also like this

you can try report and try. no action based in feedback from.many. There is a loophole I think, they issue the receipt differently to buyers..not stated comm.... maybe disbursement charges and also have a signed copy buyer will to pay those charges.....

but it is acceptable in my opinion since seller also pay mostly 1%>
