Dear Anonymous, we are curious. Please publish which websites give such claims of no commissions? It is interesting that perhaps you do not trust these websites, hence you posting in PropertyGuru - where many of us real estate professionals engage with. Anyway to this fundamental question of whether to pay commission or not, may I offer you this central moot point. If you engage a professional to act on your behalf, to act on your best interests, would you prefer to pay this professional commission for a successful job done or would you be contented to have it all for FREE, that this professional act for you PRO BONO - investing their time, effort, professional expertise - for your Best Interest? (Perhaps a plausible possibility here if this professional is your personal friend or perhaps out of goodwill to a predicament?) If you want your best interests serve, would it be more assuring to pay this professional directly . . . Frankly, there are no free lunches in the world - be that for any business deals.
