Independent Buyer 1% Commission To Seller Agent

[chronograph 0]

You will receive INVOICE from P**x company. If you refused to pay, then P**x company will sue you. Can sue or not P**x company has a legal department to decide.

I suggest upon receiving the INVOICE, write to P**x company complaining the agent, bad attitude, bad service etc. And negotiated for a lower comms.

Even she slip in and let me sign the Comm agreement, we, as buyer will also receive a letter from P**x Company. Correct?? I dun receive anything from them. We really cannot re-call we have signed any Comm agreement. IF YES, stated clearly that we have to pay... THen boh bian...

Besides, just know from a friend who is a ppt agent, submission of OTP is Seller agent job!! So, basically she do nothing for us.. Actually, we just want to nego the comm to lesser only, as we feel 1% is too much... But she insist of 1% we also boh bian, either legal or 1%....

If without the agreement, we are in the win situation as we don't even agree to it verbally. Besides, she meet us for not more than 4 times within the transaction and she wan to get 4k as comm... TOO MUCH....

I FACE MY BOSS 20 DAYS PER MONTH, my salary is even much lesser than that!!!!

As for the publicity, if she really take legal action without the comm agreement, think it will come out automatically.. as recently there is survey result, saying that 80% of the sellers/buyers does not satisfied the service of the property agent... Definitely, this topic will be HOT again....

Even she have the agreement and sue me... I die die have to pay the 4k only, right??... is there other things else?? Go to court, the company will loose reputation .. Hee... if 4k to make publicity awareness of this issue, i dun mind... hahaha..

Yes, understand...

I am waiting for the invoice... Wondering is there any agreement i signed for the 1% commission as well....

However, I will not complain that agent attitude/service is bad... as we meet her for 4 times only, cannot judge...

Since i didn't commit 1% comm on the 1st day, why i should pay for it for only paper works that she done...

Anyone here know how long will it take for P***x to send me the invoice??

I should be able to receive it by next week???

Now then i notice, there are no HOT LINE number of Legal Department stated in their website....

You mentioned she told u about the 1% comms but u didn't tell her u did not agree to it?

"Since i didn't commit 1% comm on the 1st day"

I'm not too sure about verbal agreement is it legal binding but if it goes ugly and need to attend court, u have to proof that she didn't provide any service to you on this transaction based on the scenario that there is no coms letter signed. Likewise, her P**x company have to provide case of their agent service.

Can only share with u my case, received the invoice within 2 weeks after the first appointment of buy and sell. I gave buy/sell exclusive to my agent. But i only paid 4 weeks after 2nd appointment. Different company different rules/process. Besides, i didn't signed any comms letter, all based on word of trust.

My agent from DTZ.

Didn't agree also equal to verbal agreement??

Also, how they prove for the verbal agreement???

I am not dispute the comm, but nego it to a reasonable charges.....

Agent insist of 1%... haiz... let her work out with her legal dept and see how's the things go...

I remember there is a case of couple kena sued by the same company, end up settle outside the court which quoted as win-win case...

Or anyone here can get me a lawyer contact for me to seek for legal advice...

Have u made know disagreement to the agent? Is she aware that she will not get 1% comm?

The fact that you did not object and signed the OTP gave people impression you agreed to the 1% comms.

Also, how they prove for the verbal agreement???

No way, like i said based on evidence on service rendered.

I am not dispute the comm, but nego it to a reasonable charges.....

Nego with the company.

Where got win-win, the moment u go up to court, u need to pay court fee and lawyer fee. Might end up paying more than your 1% comm.

Win-win in my opinion, nego with the company on a comms both parties are comfortable with.

Will wait and receive the invoice before we proceed....

On the day sign OTP, I cannot remember how she mention about the comm as well... Before or after the OTP, I also cannot remember already.....

Haiz... later will call CASE for advice... as well as wait for the invoice....

If you ask me to pay 4k for her service or towards lawyer for attend court, I will choose the 2nd 1...

at least ppl spend money to qualified him/herself for the service...

But of course, it's 50%-50% to win the case...

Why do you want to wait till you receive the invoice? I feel that you did not raise any objection when she ask you for 1% comm and she proceeded to serve you, I think it is difficult to now turn back and say, "I didn't engage you." or "Do this only and you want to claim 1% comm, thats too much" because you have implicitly said yes to using her service and to pay her the comm.

SInce you are reluctant to pay the agent the comm now, I think it is only right that you be upfront with her and tell her that so that she doesn't do more work for you and cause this "misunderstanding" to escalate. At least, you can have a conversation with her about how to resolve this. In the meantime, you are free to contact CASE to seek advice.

Just my view.

Yes, I will go down to CASE to complain...

I will pay her, but not 1% comm.....

No need to complain first. You can check with CASE on this issue and ask for advice.

In the meantime, talk to "your agent" and see how you could resolve this. She may just say that I am not your agent because you have not signed any agreement with me. Hence, no need to be aggresive and start a complain against her. Afterall, she has not done anything wrong or rude.

Treat her fairly and discuss.

CASE said they will represent us to write in to the company to nego the comm.... IF we log a complain...

I will wait n see what's her next step... then only go for CASE...

at least have the invoice on hand then only can prove she request the comm from us...

As now, she dun wan to pick my my calls or reply my sms... just wait lo...

Just some update...

can we log a complaint to case? I did sign the comm letter after much discussion with e agent at owner's place until 11pm. He decide to charge 0.8% and as I was so tired that I signed e letter but was really fuming by e time i finish e 2nd viewing and discussion. I want to send in my complaints after settling e purchase.

He's ripping me off n earning comm from e banker too!
