Asked by
Agents KEEP telling me I need to pay commission on property's I see advertised on your site, that I wish to rent.

As it is OVER 3000 a month and the CEA say's agents cannot have duel representation why does Property Guru condone such action and not make it clear to renters about this?

So far I have had the following:

tell me it is company policy to charge TWO (2) months commission on a property I saw advertised on your site even though he was the landlords agent. So he gets paid twice. Excuse me?!

I hear the same things, such as although he represents he landlord he is also my agent so he deserves it. It is company policy, its the way things are...

And if you complain then suddenly you have no way to get in touch with the landlord, make an offer or somehow the property is gone but the listing remains up.

come on property guru how about you give a RRP and guideline on renting. Sure, (recommended retail on commission. I'm getting fed up reporting them all.

Hi

Sorry to hear your story.

If the salesperson is acting for the landlord side, he/she will collect commission from the landlord if the deal goes through. The landlord’s salesperson will not collect commission from the tenant (if you are the tenant) approaching him/her directly as you are representing yourself.

On the other hand, if you are seeking of the assistance of a property salesperson to seek rental houses for you, where the salesperson will source for a number of houses accordingly to your requirements, you (the tenant) will be paying a commission to your salesperson that you have engaged. The amount of commission payable is fully negotiable between you and the salesperson. There is no fixed company policies for commission payable. Commission is entirely negotiable and agreeable between you and the salesperson.

In your case, perhaps the salesperson is not the direct lister, hence he/she is asking to be your agent and asking for a commission from your side?

Hope we have tried our best to clarify. If you need further assistance, you can call me at 98197201  or email me at desmondzzz@yahoo.com with no obligations attached. Don’t worry. =)

Just to share with you. If you are still looking for a house, we have one 3 bedrooms fully furnished at Parc Vista Condominium for rent at S$3500/=- at the moment. We are representing the landlord side, hence if there is direct tenant, the tenant need not pay any commission to us. You might like to take a look at the cosy home at www.98197201.com.
