Singapore Commission Notes
- • Standard private resale: 1% seller-paid commission (sometimes 2% on smaller tickets).
- • New launches: developers typically pay 1-3% to agents — no direct buyer cost.
- • GST at 9% applies to agencies registered for GST (most CEA-licensed agencies are).
- • Co-broking splits: 50/50 is common but not mandated — negotiate per mandate.
- • CEA commission rates are not fixed by regulation; competition determines actual rates.
