Hi Maverick,

Yes you are right as that agent would be deemed as acting for the seller and you need not pay any commission at all. By the way, are you referring to a HDB flat or a private property?

Hello,

Yes, in majority of cases the listing agent would be the Seller's agent.
You would not be required to any commission or contract fee to the Seller's agent as he would be acting on behalf of the Seller.

I hope the above information is useful, and let me know if I can help with any further questions.
Thanks, and I could get in contact at 92215324  or Shawnwee.era@gmail.com.

Hi Maverick,

I wouldn’t outright indicate that they are counted as seller agent, but in most cases, they are. I have heard of cases too where sellers engage the services of agent to market the property but expect the agent to take commission from the buyers, and such agents who take on the listings are usually newer agents without leads to work on. I have also heard of unethical practises where listing agent engages the team of agents to market the property and expect to collect from the buyer too. Whichever the case, I always feel that being upfront will be important so if you genuinely has a concern in paying commission for the purchase, you should clarify if agent fees will be applicable before arranging for viewings. This will save a lot of inconveniences from travelling down for the viewing and incurring time and transport costs. Purchasing a home should be a happy process therefore I like to keep it that way although I do not agree with the unethical practises.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.
