I agree, besides being dressed in a fancy suit and behaving like a super insistent used-car salesman the agent was entirely useless. I only bought from him because he was the one who had listed the property, so there was no (simple) way to get to the owners except through him.In Poland real estate agents are completely useless and have a bad reputation (and they deserve it).
If I were to buy real estate, I'd buy only direct. A few real estate deals in which I was involved were all without real estate agents. I see no need for them. You get a notary (required by law) and that's it. Paying 3%, let alone 6%, for nothing is ridiculous.
But that didn’t stop me from cutting his pay right at the very end to a tiny percentage… which still was around $1.2K USD thinking about it LOL! So yeah, getting paid $1.2K + I think the owners paid him around $2.4K, that’s a nice payday — $3.6K for showing up LOL. I honestly wish I got paid that for just showing up
