Can I pass on the entire commission to the buyer?

No. The legislator stipulates that the client bears at least 50% if the buyer is a consumer.

Are there costs if the flat is not sold?

Not with us. Remuneration is purely success-based.

Is the commission negotiable?

Yes. We discuss the remuneration openly in the initial consultation and record it in writing.
