1st, identify the unit you wanted, go view and upfront tell agent you are not paying for the 1% buyer fee, since you are the one who contacted them, unless you request agent to find specific unit for you, then pls pay them the 1%

In states like Pen & Johor, the "rule" is buyer pay 1%. If we tell them we're not paying, will the agent keluar pattern and do something behind our back (like getting vendor to sign other OTP with other potential buyers who are willing to pay the 1%)?

no such rule, the rule is maximum they can get is 3%
but the "rule" is there to maximise their earning

well if the agent does something like tat, then let other buyer pay for the 1%, but the 1% or nego to 0.5% or a token sum also sign of good will la if you have been asking the agent to search for a particular unit that you prefer, then just pay them what is due

best is state clearly your intention in the 1st place, the 1% to agent does not happen in developer sales, only on the secondary market

We're looking for a subsale in a particular neighbourhood. We go through the ads placed by agents online, then contact the agents if a unit pops up. Every agent told us it's the rule here, unlike in KL where the vendors bear all the commission.

Asking them to look for a unit for us is meaningless as they will still end up recommending units we can see in online portals like propguru etc.
