  • Who did you use to sell your place and did you rate them?

    A place just around the corner went for over asking last year with an agents who know the area well and take good pictures etc.

    However, they have some weird fee thing where the buyer pays everything and they call it a 'finders fee' or something similar, but it's about 4%.

    Sounds OK for us, but surely it's going to put off potential buyers?

    Yeah, don't do this. Whichever side of the deal you levy the fees on, increasing it from 2% to 4% is going to hurt you.

  • I think it's called sale by tender. Which is basically code for we want to fuck u and get u to pay our transaction costs.

    I wouldn't entertain it myself and in a softer market it would not be all that attractive.
