When dealing with second-hand houses through housing intermediary companies, buyers and sellers need to pay a certain service fee to the intermediary. The general agency fee is 3%-5% of the transaction price of the house. Both sellers and buyers need to pay an intermediary. At present, there is no uniform provision for intermediary service fees, which are generally collected according to the habits in the industry.
In housing lease transactions, the agency fee of the agency is generally half a month to one month's rent. As for who to charge, there is no specific provision, which needs to be decided by both parties through consultation. Usually, the lessee pays the intermediary fee for renting ordinary houses to the intermediary company, while the intermediary fee for renting villas is generally paid by the lessor.
In addition, according to the contract law, after the intermediary facilitates the establishment of the contract, the principal shall pay the remuneration to the intermediary as agreed. If there is no Hongbao or it is not clear that Hongbao is for the middle class, it should be reasonably determined according to the intermediary's labor service. Where an intermediary provides media services for concluding a contract, both parties to the contract shall bear the intermediary remuneration equally.
Shanghai's real estate intermediary service fees are generally charged by real estate intermediary service agencies in accordance with unified standards. Real estate intermediary service charges shall be clearly marked, and intermediary service institutions shall publicize their charging items, charging methods, service contents and charging standards in a prominent position in their business premises, and be open and transparent in the process of providing services, and shall not conduct price fraud on the parties under various excuses.
As the house buying and selling is a complicated business, it is necessary for buyers and sellers and intermediaries to communicate in detail before the transaction, check the relevant documents, ensure the correctness of the housing, and try to let the intermediary company only represent one party in the second-hand house transaction to ensure the interests of the entrusting party.
As we all know, Shanghai's housing prices are among the best in the country, and the basis of housing agency fees mainly comes from local housing prices. For property buyers, not only have to pay a high room fee, but also the agency fee is a kind of room fee, which is also a big expense. When choosing intermediary services, everyone should try to find a regular brand enterprise or a large intermediary agency to avoid disputes caused by intermediary services and unnecessary economic losses.
