In second-hand house transactions, intermediary fees are an indispensible cost. Understanding how the intermediary fee is calculated is essential for both buyers and sellers to plan the funds rationally and avoid unnecessary economic loss。
The trade-in-trade fee for second-hand houses is usually calculated in a number of ways, often on the basis of a percentage of the price of the house. There may be differences in the rates charged by different intermediaries. In general, most intermediaries in the market charge between 1 and 3 per cent. For example, a second-hand house with a transaction price of $2 million, if the intermediary company charges the intermediary fee at a rate of 2 per cent, the intermediary fee to be paid by the buyer and the seller is 2 million x 2 per cent = $40,000。

In addition to a fixed proportion of fees, there are a number of intermediaries that use progressive fees. This is done by dividing the sale price of the house into different compartments, each of which corresponds to a different rate. Here is a simple example of step-by-step fees:
Percentage of inter-price charges
$1 million or less
2%
One million dollars - two million dollars
1. 5%
More than $2 million
1%
Assuming that the transaction price for a second-hand house is 2. 5 million yuan, the intermediary fee is calculated on the basis of progressive fees for the above-mentioned sub-paragraphs: 1 million yuan per cent x 2 per cent = 20,000 yuan; 1 million yuan per cent - 1. 5 per cent = 15,000 yuan ; and more than 2 million yuan per cent = 0. 5 million = 05,000 yuan. So the total intermediary fee for this house is 2 + 1. 5 + 0. 5 = 40,000。
In addition, there are different situations for the recipients of intermediary fees. In actual transactions, the intermediary fee may be borne by the buyer alone, by the seller alone or jointly by the buyer and the seller, in a manner to be determined in consultation with the intermediary company before entering into a contract for intermediary services。
In the process of negotiating the brokering fee with the intermediary, the buyer and seller may make appropriate bargaining based on market conditions, the actual state of the house and the content of the services provided by the intermediary. Some large, well-known intermediaries may be relatively expensive because of their brand influence and the quality of their services, while some small intermediaries may offer some discounts on brokering fees in order to attract customers。
