The Advocates Property Advisory

The Advocates Property Advisory 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.
