How is the agency fee generally charged?

Intermediary fees are generally collected in two ways according to the transaction time node: one-time collection or segmented collection. In housing transactions, the agency fee is generally borne by the buyer and the seller, and of course it is also borne by the seller in full. There is no strict restriction on who will bear the agency fee, as long as all parties reach an agreement.

Housing intermediary plays an intermediary role between buyers and sellers, and an important feature of intermediary contract is remuneration. Therefore, if the housing agency facilitates the establishment of the contract, the client shall pay the remuneration as agreed. In the second-hand housing contract, the buyer entrusts an intermediary company to provide intermediary services. If the intermediary is successful, regardless of whether the intermediary fee is charged by the seller, the commission shall be paid according to the contract.

The legal reason for refusing to pay the intermediary fee is that the intermediary fails or the transaction fails due to the fraudulent behavior of the intermediary. After the intermediary is successful, the buyer and the seller shall pay the intermediary fee as agreed in the intermediary contract. The contract signed between the two parties and the intermediary is two relatively independent contracts, and there is no contradiction and repeated charges.
