Who pays the commissions the Agent?

A Real Estate Agent is an advisor specializing in buying and selling residential and commercial properties. 

The advice of a Real Estate Agent when buying a property is essential because they know the financial, tax, and legal environment of Real Estate. An experienced Agent will respond to questions from customers and have the knowledge, contacts, and resources needed for the sales transaction to be successful.

There are generally two Real Estate Agents involved in purchasing or selling a property, one who represents the seller and another who represents the buyer.

Usually, the person selling the property is responsible for paying a commission between 3% and 6% of the sale price, which means the buyer does NOT have to pay the commission and should not worry about this. Payment of the commission of the REALTOR is included in the work of the “House of Titles”.

When you buy a property from a Real Estate Agent, this has no cost. The only one who pays the commission is the party that sells the property.
