John McKee Broker's commissions for selling
9 January 2022 | 1 reply
Example if a volume listing broker has below market rate co-op of 1.5 to 2% to buyer broker then buyer might be required to buyer broker to pay 1% more of the purchase price to meet a minimum fee agreement.It's more rare to find a highly experienced commercial buyers broker as most senior directors stay on the listing side with teams and have junior agents do the grunt work and marketing and screening of buyer leads that come in to see if they are worth anything.Like anything in life you pay for the experience level.You can get junior agents desperate to make a buck to keep their lights on and feed their families that will work for whatever but they have limited networks just starting out and almost no knowledge or experience.The buyer can focus on the 20k or 40k extra they pay to a highly skilled buyers broker and decide instead to work with a junior agent and then get hit with a 1 million mistake to their investment capital.I am not talking about big funds, REIT's, developers that have bought hundreds of times and do their own thing.
