Im selling a property in Manurewa . Looking around for real estate agents ive had Mike Pero offering 2.95% commission which is much more attractive than Barfoots at 3.95%. The house should sell in the mid 500k's .
Barfoots i would have thought have the upper hand in terms of marketing as they are NZ's largest.
Barfoots want to charge an extra $1600 on top of commission for their marketing & advertising expenses theyve listed such as photography & signboard [$163] ,LIM [$265 ..really?],Property Press [3 ads at $352 each full page], Auction doc fee [$115].
Many of the above expenses would seem to me expenditure that should be included already in their commission which will amount to over 18k!
With costing like the above i'm non too happy to sign even though Barfoots have now agreed to swallow the marketing costs should the house sell.
Am i being unrealistic to think there are better deals out there?
