Property Mavens

Property Mavens quotes per job rather than publishing a price. Across the market, buyer's agents charge either a percentage of the purchase price, commonly 1.5% to 2.5%, or a fixed fee of about $8,000 to $30,000 for a full search-and-negotiate service. Negotiation or auction bidding on its own costs less, often from a few hundred dollars, and most agencies add an engagement fee at signing that comes off the final invoice. Our buyer's agent fees guide compares the models, or ask Property Mavens for a figure.
