Searching for a new home can be a tiresome process, especially if you have incomplete information about the property market where you desire to rent or invest. In this blog, we shall give you an update on the ongoing rate of commission of real estate agents on property deals that takes place in the country.

After all, they help you find a property that fits your budget and suits your needs, which can be a daunting task for many first-time clients, who could be a seller, a buyer, a landowner, or a tenant.
