Kiinteistövälityspalkkio

Kiinteistövälityspalkkio is the commission paid to a real estate agent or agency for their services in selling or renting a property. This fee is typically a percentage of the final sale price or the agreed-upon rental amount. The exact percentage can vary depending on the agency, the type of property, and the market conditions. In some cases, a fixed fee might be negotiated instead of a percentage-based commission.

The commission is usually paid by the seller, though in rental transactions, it can sometimes be paid by the tenant or split between both parties depending on local customs and agreements. The purpose of the kiinteistövälityspalkkio is to compensate the real estate agent for their expertise, marketing efforts, negotiation skills, and the time invested in facilitating the transaction. This includes activities such as property valuation, advertising, arranging viewings, handling paperwork, and guiding clients through the entire selling or renting process.

The agreement regarding the commission is typically formalized in a listing agreement or a mandate contract signed between the property owner and the real estate agency. This contract outlines the services to be provided, the commission rate, and the conditions under which the commission becomes due, often upon the successful completion of the sale or rental agreement. Transparency about the commission structure is important for both parties to ensure a clear understanding of the costs involved in real estate transactions.
