OUR FEE STRUCTURE
We focus exclusively on luxury apartments €1M+. As a boutique consultancy you get two very unique buyers agents/realtors dedicated to you and you are the top priority.
Total Fee: 4% of the purchase price
Payment Structure:
- Engagement Retainer: €10,000 upfront (credited toward final fee)
- Remaining Fee: 3% + (remaining) paid at closing
Examples:
| Purchase Price | Total Fee (4%) | Upfront Retainer | Remaining Fee | Split Between The Two Agents |
| €1,000,000 | €40,000 | €10,000 | €30,000 | €20,000 each |
| €1,500,000 | €60,000 | €10,000 | €50,000 | €30,000 each |
| €2,000,000 | €80,000 | €10,000 | €70,000 | €40,000 each |
Why this works:
- Ensures agents are dedicated and completely focused on the best service and experience for the buyer
- Retainer is fully credited toward the final fee
- Protects agents time upfront (we put in many hours of time into making sure you have all of the information you need, when you need it)
Optional Scaling for Mega Properties:
For properties €3M+, retainer can scale to 1% of purchase price while still crediting toward total fee
