买房子找代理，代理收不收commision？

[flyfree]

已经看好了中意的房子，想在下offer之请，找个买房代理，分析房子的利弊和合理的市场价位，再下正式offer。不知道买房代理收不收commision费，如果要收，收成交价的百分之多少？

如果代理要你签买房代理约，要收，好像是4.5％。但是如果你有告诉卖家你有代理的话，是卖家付责给，但如果你没有告诉卖家，你自己就要掏腰包。

新房吗？新房是BUILDER给的，不过你好像需要没有和BUILDER联系过才行，不然BUILDER可能不会给代理佣金的。
旧房按理应该是卖方付佣金的。不过你签合同要和代理一起去签的吧。打电话找个代理问一下会更清楚的。

谢谢Kliu和版主！好像明白了一些，但是还有些疑问。这样的话，买方代理也就成了卖方代理，既然从卖方拿佣金的话，代理会替买方还价吗？

借问为什么“好像需要没有和BUILDER联系过才行”？
谢谢

buiders嘛，要他们付佣金不容易。他们会去查你是不是真的由代理介绍。如果发现你以往几年内以自己（没有代理陪同下）去过看房，就不会付佣给你的代理的。如果你签買方代理了合同，代理收不到佣，可能会要你自己付佣。

不一定。賣房的要付買方代理4.5%,和賣方代理4.5%.(可能少於4.5%.或许是3.5%或2.5%我也不大记得)。如果买卖也是同一个代理，或会收屋主少点佣金。

let me clear this up:
if you are buying a "second-hand" property on the market, i.e. not from a builder, you have 2 choices: 1, buy without an agent 2, buy with an agent. for both options, you do not pay commission to anyone, since the seller will pay usually 5%-4.5% of the houes value to the listing agent. and in the 2nd option, the listing agent will split part of his commission with your buyer agent, usually half of the total amount of the commission that he/she gets from the seller. note here although you do not pay any commission to anyone, but technically you still pay part of it if not the entire amount since the seller will adjust the listing price arrodingly considering the contribution of commission. i.e.羊毛出在羊身上。that is why for "sell buy owner" properties, the prices is usually deducted by the "commission" amount.

for the 1st option, the listing agnet might offer to be your buyer's agent as well when he/she understands that you do not have any agent since he/she will get the whole amount of the commission stated in the "Listing Agreement" unless when the listing agent signed the "Listing Agreement" with the seller, there are articles prevent dual agency. Dual agency means the listing agent is the buyer agent at same time.
you may buy a house without your buyer agent, as long as you know what you are doing. and you may use that when you trying to cut the price down since if you buy the property without buyer agent or the listing agent is dual agency(represeting you and the seller), he/she will get the whole amount of the commission without spliting with anyone. i.e. he/she gets more anyways.

the offer is more or less a pretty standard format. the buyer agent is basically filling up the blanks.
you can also do some market research yourself before you decide to work with any agent. sometimes they do not know much more than us. LOL.

if you are buying from a builder, different builders have different policy. some of them prefer to work with the buyer directly. some of them gives some commission to your agent, if there is any.
