By Geert WubsInsight into typical commission structures and rates.
How commission works

What's included

- Photography and floor plans
- Funda and social media marketing
- Viewings and negotiation
- Purchase contract and notary coordination
How to compare
Don't pick on price alone. Look at recent comparable sales, service quality, marketing reach and personal fit.
Frequently asked questions
