It is a fair question, and often the first one people don't dare to ask. The honest answer comes in two parts: a buying agent costs money, and that cost should be measured against what they help you gain or avoid. Here is how to think about it, with no nasty surprises.<\/p>\n
In Spain, the estate agency's commission is normally paid by the seller, and it is already built into the asking price. A buying agent, on the other hand, is paid by the buyer, since they work exclusively for them. That is precisely what guarantees their independence: they have no interest in selling you one property rather than another<\/a>.<\/p>\n Depending on the professional, the fee is a fixed amount, a percentage of the purchase price, or a combination of both. It depends mainly on the scope of the work:<\/p>\nHow is the fee structured?<\/h2>\n
