I am agent here. Yes U can do so.

But kesianlah that agent spent money & effort to advertise that house and suddenly you just bypass his effort. Let's say if U wanted to get like 2% cheaper to bypass agent fees, can ask agent to help nego for you one ma.

My advertisement in property guru cost RM108/7 days.

If 2 months there also close to 900 not including yet other platform. Let him cari Makan also loh

Honestly what ur part in the business deal that earn u 2%?

Lets say u sold a 2m semi D house in nice area. 40k for 2%. Like. What work did u actually do. Other than take key bring potential buyer look see. This kind of work worth 40k?

Your view is narrow seeing only when he closed the deal.

What happens prior and if unlucky didn't close the deal ? What if seller decides not to sell later ? Who pays for his advertisements, travelling, phone bill and time cost ?

I know some agent's spend few K a month on advertisements dealing with high-end property.

If selling 2m property can close within 6 months, consider very lucky. 1 year is considered normal. How many has 2 mil or eligible for that loan ? 🤔

I know I cannot afford.

Back to my orinigal question. What is your job during all these scenario that u listed? worth 40k ?

We never force owner to take our services. Afterall it's just an offer that we have the client, you take our clients you pay for the fees. Otherwise you are free to say "it's okay I can sell/rent my property myself".

We never force. But if you can find the client by your own. Do it yourself. And don't ever badmouth agents. Not all agents are crook. At least I know I ain't cunning type of agent. I seek for tenant, I offer to landlord.

You just be like my friend brother in law. Saying that don't need to look for agent service. Can rent himself. After 4 months unable to secure tenant, then ended up take up agent service and cry lost 4months +1 month agent fees.

You try la look for buyer yourself. You think so easy just post 1 advertisement and get the client directly? We a specialized in diverty clients and recommend them what else other option they could buy according to their demand.

I post property A for rent. But after filtering out the client, I think property B or C is much more recommended. So I drag this tenant to B or C landlord.  Don't you think owner of B or C should pay me for that?

I am just asking what is the job of agent during the transaction. Can feel a lot of emotions in ur reply but u are not actually answering the question.

What did u do that justify the 2% ?

I do engage agent for properties all. For me is the safety, never know who am i dealing with and i am sure not gonna meet some stranger in empty house/shoplot. But this safety for 2% is a bit too much IMHO which is why i am asking what else did u guys do other than connecting me to potential buyer. Those paperworks which again, IMHO, is the heavy lifting in transaction which is done by lawyers.What's your role during all this?
