Independent Buyer 1% Commission To Seller Agent

[tnqhome 0]

Hi All,

Help needed here....

I found a 5-rm unit from propertyguru.com and we have no agent represent us... I contact the seller agent and go up n view the house... then sign the OTP..

She did mention that 1% commission charge while we sign the OTP... However, there are no commission agreement signed on that day (as I remember)...

Now, we are going to get the keys tomorrow and think she will come back to us for the 1% commission, should i pay her??? or must i pay her???

PS: She trying to gain more commission by intro us to a bank agent, but then we refuse and use our own bank agent... she called our bank agent to request for the commission and told my bank agent that she will not going to fax them the valuation report... End up, i called her to request her for fax them, then only she fax......

I don't feel she serve me well too, as there are nth much after OTP...

Will i face legal sue if i dun wan to pay her the 1%??

basically you don't have to pay her. at least that's my view.

If u didn't sign any commission agreement, u can don't pay.

Since she told you that she charges 1% for helping you and you didn't object, I think you should pay her. I am not an agent. Just my view.

1% for submitting some papers is definitely too much! Since she is collecting commission from the seller, it is her obligation to make sure the deal goes through, so i don't think it's justified to pay 1% commission.

If you can agreed verbally before, think you can negotiate to pay her an admin fee of around $300 - $500 as suggested by MND in their draft report.

When he reply no problem, 10% discount.

My spouse still ask me, want to SMS him back, say we joking only.
