What are an Estate Agent fees in Dublin? (Usually a Percentage)

How much does an estate agent cost?

Estate Agent fees are typically a percentage charge between 1% and 2% + vat of the selling price of a property. However, this can vary from Estate Agent to Estate Agent.

At Casey Kennedy, we have two options regarding estate agent fees. You can choose between two different options.

Option 1:
This is our most popular option – the fee is normally 1% plus a performance bonus of 10% of everything we achieve above an agreed figure which reflects the perceived market value. (Note: This performance bonus is designed only to kick in if we outperform other agencies – which we are very good at accomplishing). So if we get you a price exceeding the market, then yes, we will earn more, but you will also benefit from incentivising us.

We price properties at the right figure to get as many interested parties bidding to view your home. The more people you can get to view and then bid on your property, the better the results will be. We do not price the property too low either, as this is counterproductive to all stakeholders, which are the buyer, the agent and the vendor who is selling the property.

Option 2:
A flat rate of normally 1.5%+VAT

Note 1: Our rates may be higher for lower-priced properties or properties located outside Dublin.

Note 2: All Estate Agent fees are subject to VAT (currently 23%)
