Most charge 10% if your bringing a buyer to the table your worth gold!I can't see how any agent, anywhere in the world, can justify 10%. Yes, negotiate, it's a buyer's market.
They charge you whatever you allow.............. that simple

Not one real estate agent involved and the project sold out before the shovels were delivered.

I know of a few expat houses (not super-desirable areas) that are listed that have been on the market since I first started coming to the North Coast - in 2003Two years ago I were interested in a nice villa built with high standards here i Cabarete. Owner wanted 280k and I made an offer through the agent for 220k, to start the negotiating prosess. The owner did not respond in any manner. I ended up buying something else which I am happy for today because my current home better suits my needs.
The owner has now lowered his price, selling for 230k. I was willing to go up to 240k for that property.
The villa has now been on sale for at least 4 years, maybe 6 and still are.
I was thinking the exact same thing.They charge you whatever you allow.............. that simple
