A survey of about 1,300 agents conducted in September and October by real-estate media company RISMedia found that the average amount paid to agents representing buyers was 2.28% of the home’s sale price between mid-August and early October, compared with 2.65% over the past year. Fees for agents representing sellers fell to 2.69% from 2.98%.

A survey of about 1,300 agents conducted in September and October by real-estate media company RISMedia found that the average amount paid to agents representing buyers was 2.28% of the home’s sale price between mid-August and early October, compared with 2.65% over the past year. Fees for agents representing sellers fell to 2.69% from 2.98%.
跟一年前相比，经纪佣金的下降幅度：
卖家：2.98% => 2.69%
买家：2.65% => 2.28%
趋势很好，但要再接再厉！那就只能请买房代理了。
其实，按50万的房收15K的单方佣金，转移成3000请律师，1000请估价师，其他事大多数人都能应付得了，轻易就能省下11K。在看房环节上，由卖方代理执行完全可行，开门秀房，如实回答问题，以前的约定俗成是由买房代理做，卖方代理做的事其实有限，拿3%佣金不那么合理。
新的约定俗成形成后，这些事都能在专业人员的辅助下完成，佣金却实实在在地省下了。只是中介们的工作岗位会减少。
普通大众很笨的，1990年以前sub agent带人看房利益上和卖家一致，但是买者以为sub agent是为他们服务。buyer agent是一个进步。
