Agent fees are negotiable and should be agreed between the agent and client. While I do understand that some agents will not hesitate to take up such assignments, I'd like to highlight that although it sounds that a big chunk of work has been done for the whole search process, what really matters are those part that you are intending to engage the agent to do, from pricing of the purchase to the paper works that can have legal implications, which is really what matters when it comes to the purchase a property.

The search, shortlisting and coordination of units can be done just by almost anyone who is capable of communicating via phone and text, as well as using the internet or mobile phone to search for listing.

Therefore, under such scenarios, I will usually still charge full agent fees, otherwise I will not be taking on such assignments. Read More

Hi Sir/Mdm,

I have assisted some of my clients by giving them advice on the price to offer and also helping them to do the paperwork. I would usually charge a flat fee for such services and will be happy to share with you more!

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation and assist you further!

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
“We have the privilege to work with Nick on our recent house purchase and we are extremely grateful for all the help he rendered to make the purchase a seamless experience!

Nick is attentive to all the requirements we have for our purchase and in the short span of time, he was able to provide us with potential shortlisted units that meet our criteria. (A big lifesaver for family with young kids and limited availability!) When conducting a viewing, Nick is highly proactive as he can be seen taking notes, asking questions, checking the conditions (that we missed or never thought of) and etc.

Overall, Nick remains reactive and portrays professionalism in this entire process. We would definitely recommend him to our friends and family who are looking for their next home/move opportunity.”

Jeannie & Victor (Buyer)

“Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a flat of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.”
Susana (Buyer)

“Nick is very pro-active in helping us to resolve whatever questions and problems that we encountered. All the issues are settled even before us having to request or ask for a second time. He was very frank and transparent with all the details, limitations and advantages that we wouldn’t have known. I think this is the most important virtue to be successful in this line. I will surely recommend him to anyone who needs his service because I trust that they will be equally satisfied!!”
Mr and Mrs Chan (Sold and Bought a property through Nick)

“We are very grateful to Nick for his extensive marketing efforts. With his comprehensive marketing plan, he helped us to achieve a record selling price within 2 weeks of listing our property for sale! We highly recommend his service to anyone who is keen to sell their properties.”
Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations.
We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”

My Answer with regards to your Question:

Negotiating the Fee:

Don't Hesitate: Don't be afraid to negotiate the agent's fee, especially if you've already done the legwork of finding the property.

Clear Communication: Clearly communicate the specific services you require (negotiation only or negotiation + paperwork).

Benefits of Using an Agent for Limited Services:

Negotiation Expertise: An experienced agent can use their negotiation skills to get you a better price on the property.

Paperwork Guidance: Navigating property transaction paperwork can be complex. An agent can ensure all documents are filled out correctly and submitted on time.

Representation: An agent can represent your interests throughout the buying process, ensuring a smooth transaction.>> CONSIDER ME : )

Alternatives to Consider:

Continue Solo Negotiation: If the agent's fees seem high, you can attempt price negotiation directly with the seller's agent. Research negotiation strategies beforehand.

Consult a Property Lawyer: For specific legal advice on paperwork or the purchase agreement, consider consulting a property lawyer for a one-time fee.

The Choice is Yours:

Ultimately, the decision depends on your comfort level with negotiation and paperwork. If you feel confident handling these aspects yourself, you can continue independently. However, if you value expert guidance and representation, engaging an agent for limited services can be a worthwhile investment.
