What intermediary fees should I pay for buying a house? When is the right time to hand it in?

How to calculate the agency fee for buying a house? Second-hand housing agency fee refers to the service fee paid to the intermediary when conducting second-hand housing transactions through the intermediary, including consulting service fee, real estate appraisal fee and real estate brokerage fee.

1. Consulting fee

It is divided into oral consultation fee and written inquiry fee. The oral consultation fee shall be determined by both parties through consultation according to the time required for consulting services and the professional and technical level of consultants. The written consultation fee is charged according to the technical difficulty and complexity of the consultation report combined with the target amount. General consultation report, each charge is 300- 1000 yuan; For consulting reports that are technically difficult, complicated in content and consume a lot of manpower and time, the charging standard may be appropriately increased, but it shall not exceed 0.5% of the amount of the consulting target.

2. Real estate price appraisal fee

Institutions with real estate appraisal qualifications recognized by real estate administrative departments and price departments shall charge fees according to the prescribed standards.

3. Real estate brokerage fee

This is our traditional intermediary fee for housing transactions. Generally, according to the relevant regulations of the price department, the agency fee for housing sales is charged at 0.5%-2.5% of the total transaction price. For the sole agent, the charging standard may be appropriately increased after consultation between the entrusting party and the real estate intermediary agency, but the maximum is not more than 3% of the transaction price.

At present, the agency fee is generally charged at 2.7% of the total house price, including 2.2% agency fee and 0.5% guarantee service fee (guarantee fee). Small agencies generally charge 1- 1.5%, which is slightly higher for large companies.

When is the right time to hand it in?

The agency fee should be paid when signing the house purchase contract. At this point, the agency process has been completed, and the agency fee should be charged. It is most appropriate to deliver the goods on the day of transfer after the online signing, because the house payment and agency fee will be more convenient and safer on the day of transfer! Under normal circumstances, many intermediary companies have to pay the agency fee on the day of signing the contract. If you don't feel at ease, you can pay one part first, and then pay the other part when you transfer the ownership. You can negotiate with the broker for details. To be on the safe side, you can choose an intermediary to hand over other warrants such as real estate license and land certificate to the purchaser and then pay the intermediary fee.
