THE FEE
For traditional type sales with fine quality items in desirable locations a 35% commision is standard. For Estates in challenging situations, a 40% commision is minimum. As all estates are unique in the quality and quantity of sale items, condition of premises, and the sale location desirability, the fee may vary.
