How high the agency commission is on a sale
The level of agency commission on a property sale is freely agreed. It depends on the property, the work involved and the agreed range of services. What matters is that the terms are set out clearly and in writing before the work starts, so that you have full transparency and no surprises.
What the commission depends on
Several factors determine the level of commission:
- type and value of the property
- effort for marketing and preparation
- range of services, from the brochure to handling the contract
- market conditions and the likely marketing period
When the commission pays off
Do not look at the commission in isolation, but in relation to the result. If an experienced agent achieves a noticeably higher sale price through good marketing and negotiation, the commission is often more than covered. Add to that the time saved and the certainty on legal questions. We discuss exactly these points openly with you before you commit.
What the law says
Agency commission in Austria is subject to a legal framework, for instance on maximum rates and the duty to inform. These rules change from time to time. We advise you on the rules currently in force and set the terms for your particular case cleanly and traceably, so that everything is legally sound.
Generally only on success
Agency commission usually only becomes payable once the sale actually goes through. For you that means the agent has a genuine interest in a successful conclusion at a good price. If no contract comes about, there is generally no commission either. We set out the exact conditions in writing in advance, so that it is clear from the start when and at what level a commission arises and which services it covers.
Transparent and fair
With us the commission is discussed openly in advance and set out in the contract. There are no hidden costs. Why professional support pays off is set out in when an agent is worth it on a sale.
