Do real estate Agencies charge a comission for showing you an apartment and if yes how much?

For rentals some agents charge 2 months rental from the tenant. Some charge 1 month and some get their commission from the owner. There doesn't seem to be a hard and fast rule.

Corrupt Agents tried to take advantage of 2 months free stay of our compound. offering 1 free month to the unsuspectying tenant free and keep other 1 month in his pocket.(He think he is father cristmes)

I told the Tenant of Agent's scam in Agent's face and directed him to the Office where he can get 2 months free stay.

Cockroach Agent was stuned :)

to buy a house you should pay something like 1 percent, usually both side have to pay

to rent if you do not wish to pay the agent then look the apartment for your self without any assistance. Agent that do not charge is usually the one that market their company property.

Do not blame the agent for commission. They just follow the company regulation

I will never pay a Sigle Riyal for any agent. I changed apartments for several times so far and didn't pay a single riyal to any agent :)

3% is the average and it's usually the seller or landlord who pays. Some try to be sneaky and take 3% from both sides which is NOT normal. One woman tried that with me with a 4million QR building. That means she'd end up taking double the commission.

I ended up saying no and buying a similar one who 3.8 and no commission.
