Estate Agents Commission Rates Explained
Most sellers are unaware of the different commission rates that Braemar estate agents will charge to sell your property. It is a fact that not all Braemar estate agencies charge the same rates and there’s a good reason for this so don’t make your decision on price alone.

Some Braemar agents may quote standard rates but upon appraising the property, may determine that the property may be more difficult to sell than usual because it’s in a bad area or in a poor state of repair warranting more effort on marketing costs and effort. Conversely, some agents may quote a lower than normal rate if they think that they can move your property easily and quickly.

Some Braemar estate agents may not have the overheads of larger firms who have made high levels of investment in high street offices, top-level staff training, sophisticated computer systems and professional marketing materials and resources.

That’s not to say that cut-price commission rates will deliver cut-down levels of customer service and professionalism because you can sometimes experience inadequacies when dealing with larger chain firms too.

Cut price Braemar estate agents normally require a higher turnover of stock in order to survive and they are therefore less likely to be concerned about securing the best price for their clients. The net amount of the post-sale proceeds in your pocket is surely more important than the percentage fee your Braemar estate agent charged in commission.

Low Fees and Low Quality Versus Higher Fees, Higher Quality
In order for low priced agents to be able to compete with larger concerns in the area of Braemar, it should always be worthwhile to speak with those agents and hear what they have to say. Let the higher priced agent have a chance of explaining the merits of using their services and expertise in handling your Braemar property transaction before making a decision on price alone.
