Who pays the real estate agent's fees?

A real estate agent is a consultant specializing in the purchase and sale of residential and commercial real estate.

The advice of an agent when selling or acquiring a property is essential because he knows the financial, tax, and legal environment of the sector. An experienced agent will answer your clients' questions, in addition to having the knowledge, contacts, and resources necessary for the sale transaction to be successful.

In a property purchase-sale transaction, two options can be given: that an agent is representing the seller and another the buyer, or that the mediator figure is used to manage the operation of both the seller and the buyer.

Usually, the person who sells the property is responsible for paying a fee that is generally between 3% and 6% of the sale price, which means that the buyer does NOT pay the commission and should not worry about this.
