I'm guessing this is America.

That's CRAZY!!!

We generally don't have buyers agents in the UK. However if you're buying in the plus £5M GBP raneg, you would often hire an agent to do the search for you.

They typically earn what they save you on the asking price by negotiating on your behalf. They typically earn 40% - 60% of this discount.

“We generally don’t have buyers agents in the UK”. Did that change in recent times? I used an agent when i purchased my home in the UK.

Commission is very different in the US, but so is our sales tax ;)

They exist, if you're buying from abroad I'm sure they are essential, but generally no.

I used one during lockdown to buy my holiday home, but only because I couldn't travel to view it.
