hahaha... i didn't aspect that. when the counter offer reached 35K in the evening on the 1st day (very interest, i have about 8 viewers on the 1st day. the 2nd viewer who saw my unit, they like it and started to offer me and asked me to close deal with them now and then. i told them that i can't close it because i have 6 other viewers who are waiting to view my unit in 15 mins interval. another two groups were waiting outside because 2nd viewer were late) . i told my agent i am more then content with the offer which i did not expect it will reach 35K after all 8 viewers done. the next day, the other buyer who offered me 35K counter offer 40K and this went on till evening. i told my agent better close it soon before it goes too hot. my agent did not expect this to happen also. this was his 1st experience in such case. before the sale of my unit, he kept remind me that my unit location is difficult to sell but he will try his best. and he also told me to expect lower COV offer. anyway, the buyer were very happy when they got my unit and i was

i sold mine, teban gardens with $50k COV (was asking 25K COV. it went up high because of two potential buyers want my unit so much and they counter offer... it lasted 2 days). it is 4NG unit with 99sqm. my valuation was low at 270K (was very sad at first). so, the total sale for this unit is 320K. i checked the past transaction at my flat, highest was between 280K - 300K in yr 2010.

i am waiting for my 1st appointment in jun. am very excited about that. i was hunting for 5room flat in punggol. most ask between 35K - 90K COV. saw a few 5 years old unit and most ask for 70k-90k (way too high). saw a 6 years old unit before it is open for viewer on the next day (sat). this mean we was the 1st pre-viewer (thanks to my agent. furthermore the seller agent allows us to view the unit without his present). it is a "love at the 1st sight" for me and my wife. even though the unit is at #4 and it is not the floor level that we want (we want 7 level and above). well reno and new. the kitchen is opened concept (my wife loves it). So, viewed on Fri night, pay OTP - $5k on sunday evening. asked for 30K cov. after much neg and agreed with 27K cov. total cost for the unit is 420K.

i got it. yes, i sign excl with my agent and he sold my flat within 3 days with high COV. i signed his 2% comm agreement after the sale (at first i thought 1% or i may be hear from him wrongly). the same agent also help me to source for my new flat and his is charging me 0.5% comm. after we got the flat we want (within a month) , he submitted all paper and got us the 1st appointment together with buyer (of my flat) and the seller (the flat i am buying from). all three pairs will be at the 1st appointment.

just curios, what is the % the seller pay for the agent commission and what is the % the buyer pay the agent commission?

mine was submitted on 10 march and my 1st appointment with buyer and seller on 11 jun.
