Who pays the agent for a new build condo, the developer or the buyer

For a new build condo in Singapore, the payment of the property agent's commission is typically the responsibility of the buyer, but it can vary depending on the agreement.

Usually, the buyer pays the commission to the property agency directly after the transaction is completed. However, in some cases, the developer might absorb or reimburse the buyer for the agent's commission as part of their marketing and sales strategies. It is important to clarify this with the developer or the property agent at the time of the transaction to understand who will be responsible for paying the commission.
