What is the typical range of commission rates for enbloc sales?

The typical commission rate for en bloc sales in Singapore is not fixed or regulated. Rates are fully negotiable between the Collective Sales Committee (CSC), owners, and the marketing agent, as the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) does not prescribe any specific fees for real estate transactions, including collective sales.

Common ranges observed in practice include:
- 1% to 2% of the total sale price for the marketing agent appointed by the CSC, often structured as a success fee payable only upon successful sale.
- Higher rates (up to 3% or more) may apply for complex sites or if the agent handles additional services like tender management, legal coordination, or marketing to developers.
- Split arrangements where co-broking agents (representing potential buyers like developers) receive a portion, typically 0.5% to 1%, though this is also negotiable and follows industry best practices for transparency.

These rates can vary based on factors like project size, location, reserve price, and competition among agents. Owners should agree on terms upfront in the agent's appointment letter, and commissions are usually deducted from sale proceeds proportionally based on share values.
