To ensure your rights, please be advice to carefully evaluate every real estate’s
service info, its professionalism, and its methods for payments. The cost of service
from the housing agents should be less than 6 percent.
The Department of Land in County Government closely reminded each resident, who
purchase houses from real estate agents, should carefully understand each
transactional case and the payable amount to the agent prior signing contracts with
them to prevent any substantial losses.
Further pointed out by the Land Department, the agents should not collect the
reward that surpassed over 6% of the real estate transaction from either buying
from or selling targets, ruled by the Ministry of the Interior. While 6% being the
maximum, the Ministry of the Interior allowed either sellers or buyers to negotiate
and to collect two to four percent of the transaction, as long as not surpassing at its
maximum.
Verified by the government, if the estate agents or companies made more than six
percent of transaction with buying and/or selling parties, not only the agents or the
companies penalized for an extra interest and a double amount of payment return
from its original transaction to the party, but also they will be fined between 60-300
thousands of NT. Additionally, the real estate agents will be punished to temporally
close its business for more than 6 months but under 3 years of time periods.
