THAT’S when I realized! The Filipino system seems to make sense in avoiding that broker’s conflict of interest- issues. I also happen to love the sound of Mexico. In places like Indonesia- how do you decide who pays? It’s like when the check arrives after a bad dinner date. Anyway you can register more of the whining here: [...] […] I found out about the 6% commission in the US when a US-based estate agent asked me for a co-broking fee of 3% of the sale price when I tried to list a property I had with his site.

I think you get what you pay for, and I bet there are some scetchy real estate deals going on in some of these countries. Of course if you were to ask our clients they would feel that we should probably make less, and if you ask us, we would say we should make more. Very interesting.

In a region flooded with FSBO's it's hard to imagine getting past 10% commission. Those sales must be very specialized or the data is..well, not so good.

Who sat down and decided that consumers should pay X percent? Wow -- the VAT tax of 20%+ in some countries makes home ownership a pretty expensive venture. Wonder if you can finance that?

The numbers don't tell the whole story. They don't factor in other real estate transaction costs such as transfer taxes, title insurance, etc. The overall cost to transfer property, expressed as a percentage of the sale price, would be a more useful to compare costs.
