How much commission?
 Commission cash Everyone wants to pay as little real estate commission as possible, because more money in your pocket means a better house when you buy, or a bigger deposit to make your offer to purchase more attractive, or smaller monthly payments on a smaller mortgage loan, or better curtains for the new home, or a million other things, really.

Informed buyers and sellers know that real estate agency commissions are negotiable, but few people know HOW to negotiate a better agent’s fee. In this article, I discuss how to negotiate real estate agents’ commissions. It gets a bit detailed, but the devil’s in the detail, as grandad used to say!

Real Estate Information
This used to be a real estate agency website. The Huis-Huis real estate agency is long gone now, but the information on this website has remained helpful to South Africans with property related questions looking for some answers.

So, we decided to keep this website up and running, and even add more useful articles to the archives. Tuck into Real Estate Information »
