You eventually pay the commission though those agents will tell you that seller pay the commission. That's simply a lie. If I were the seller, I would certainly increase the sell price to cover the agent fee. Isn't that clear? If you want to buy a new home, just visit those builders' show homes yourself. For condo, be aware of that the condo fee is out of your control. Btw, you can always negotiate with the sales person at the show home for the price.

Not sure about the "钓鱼". When I tried it and did meet the owner and negotiate for the price. As for selling price, I don't feel it's significant cheaper than those via an agent. If the agent over estimate the price for the seller by 100k, it's most likely difficult to get it sold and later the seller has to reduce the price. I think the high estimated price by the agent is a sort of strategy to mislead the seller so the seller might stay with the agent. Just my 2 cents. One point I wanted to make in previous reply is that when agents tell to the buyers that only seller will pay the commission is NOT true at all, the commission is already included in the price.

comfree是不需要经纪费用,但我买房的时候观察到的一个挺普遍现象,是comfree卖家并没有想把这个省下来的经纪费用一定程度让利给买家,相反,一般都是看看mls上怎么标价,就怎么标,甚至都不考虑mls高估的价格,和最后市场承认的成交价格间的不小差距。也就是小黄说的“钓鱼” : w+ k8 j+ |6 |" V. P# O' V& ^, p9 \1 n! d: g3 P5 H8 s, ^, b9 @. l
另一重要的方面是,新买家,买房往往考虑的是和居住相关的狭隘几点,很少有专业的房子隐患,以及再销售这方面的经验和知识。到时候很容易出现,你还不一定省2万经纪费,但多付出10万的情况。* `6 ^2 B9 D" x! a& V

所以说,对于有经验,能够去伪存真的买家,comfree可以用,否则,还是要谨慎
7 u% x" d4 M9 C& i; IMy point is that you'd better shop yourself if you're local. Agent is not necessary. This certainly upsets some people for sure. The trouble for most buyers/sellers is that they don't have a good resource for information. Just imagine if there is a place every seller/buyer can go for information and pay minimum fees, they should save a lot. As for price, you can always negotiate, no one force you to accept anything. It's your call.
