Commissions & Fees
At Properties Clovis, we believe that the quality of the service deserves fair, transparent and adapted remuneration. Our fees are always discussed with the principal when signing the warrant, and can be reassessed when negotiating with a serious buyer.
Freedom of honoraria in France
In France, Real estate agents' fees are free. They are agreed between the real estate agent and his principal — whether it is a seller within the framework of a sales mandate, or acquirer under a research mandate.
At Properties Clovis, this freedom is an opportunity: to build a relationship of trust with you, based on transparency and fairness. Each mandate is unique — Every commission is, too.
The real estate mandate
In accordance with Decree No. 72-678 of 20 July 1972 — Article 72 : the holder of the professional card bearing the mention « Real estate and commercial transactions » cannot negotiate or engage in a transaction without having a written mandate issued by one of the parties.
- Formalizes the tasks entrusted to the Agency
- Specify the amount of fees and how they are calculated
- Secure transaction for seller and buyer
The committee is usually charged with the owner seller or the principal (in the case of a search warrant). Any provision to the contrary must be expressly mentioned in the written mandate.
Percentage
- Fees proportional to the value of the property — the agent is fully motivated
- Trading margin — a well sized commission absorbs a price drop without penalising the seller
- Most common formula — readable and reassuring for all parties
Flat rate commission until sale
- Total visibility from the start — the seller knows exactly the cost of the service
- No bad surprise when negotiating — the package remains the same regardless of the final price
- Adapted to atypical or complex goods whose valuation is difficult to predict
- Secure the agent for the duration — commitment until sale
Price displayed in advertising, agency fees included : 540 000 €
Commission adapted to each dossier
We adjust our fees according to:
- The difficulty of the mission and the complexity of the file
- The characteristics and nature of the property
- The time required by the principal
- The type of mandate (sale, search, delegation)
Let's discuss your project together and build a marketing strategy tailored to your property and objectives.
MandateDefining a balanced committee
We do not work with low commissions (2 – 4%) in principle. This approach limits any room for manoeuvre in the negotiation phase.
With too low a commission initially positioned on the mandate, the real estate agent no longer has any room for manoeuvre to round the angles or make a commercial gesture at the decisive moment. We showcase our services to ensure a transaction balanced for the owner and the buyer.
Regulatory framework
In accordance with Decree No. 72-678 of 20 July 1972, any professional bearing the mention « Real estate and commercial transactions » cannot negotiate or engage without holding a written warrant issued in advance by one of the parties.
