Buying agent The Hague costs
The lowest rate rarely results in the lowest final bill. What you end up paying doesn't depend on the figure on the first page of a quote, but on what is included in that rate and what is charged separately.
Below, you can read about the common fee structures for buying agents in The Hague, how we work, what is included in our fee, and the questions you should ask every agent before signing. Our rates and terms are listed in the FAQ section at the bottom, and you will always receive them in advance in a detailed, written quote.

How does no cure, no pay work for buying agency services?
With no cure, no pay, you only pay if the purchase actually goes through. If you don't find a home, or decide to stop along the way, you pay nothing. In practice, it works like this: you sign a service agreement stating the fee and when it becomes due. That fee is fixed in advance and will not change, even if the search takes longer than expected. You only pay upon the legal transfer at the notary, so only after you have the keys.
What it is not: a free pass to start without obligation only to receive a bill halfway through. Therefore, always ask every real estate agent what happens if you stop mid-process, and get the answer in writing.
What does a buying
agent in The Hague cost?
In Den Haag komen drie tariefmodellen voor. Meer over hoe wij werken leest u op de pagina buying agent The Hague.
Hieronder zetten wij de drie modellen naast elkaar.
Vast tarief. U betaalt een vooraf afgesproken bedrag, ongeacht de aankoopprijs van de woning. U weet vooraf precies waar u aan toe bent.
Courtage. De vergoeding is een percentage van de aankoopprijs, in de markt meestal tussen 1% en 1,25%. Bij een woning van € 700.000 komt dat neer op € 7.000 tot € 8.750. Hoe duurder de woning, hoe meer u betaalt, terwijl het werk niet evenredig meegroeit.
No cure, no pay. U betaalt alleen bij een succesvolle aankoop. Koopt u niets, dan betaalt u niets. Wij werken met een vast tarief op basis van no cure, no pay. Die twee sluiten elkaar niet uit: het bedrag staat vooraf vast, en u betaalt het pas bij de overdracht. Wat het in uw geval wordt hangt af van uw zoekopdracht, en dat bespreken wij vooraf. Ons instaptarief staat bij de veelgestelde vragen.
What our clients say about us
What is included
in the rate
We offer an all-inclusive service, from your initial search to the moment you receive your keys. You will never receive an unexpected bill for extra viewings or additional consultations.
This includes our attendance at every viewing, a valuation of the property you wish to bid on based on comparable sales, the bidding strategy and full negotiation, drafting and reviewing the purchase agreement, monitoring the deadlines for contingencies, as well as the final inspection and support at the notary.
Structural surveys and appraisal reports are third-party services and are never included. We will arrange these for you and inform you of the costs upfront. When comparing quotes, don't just look at the bottom line. Ask how many viewings are included in the fee, whether contract support is covered, and what happens if the purchase does not go through. That is where the real difference lies, not in the number on the first page.
