In Argentina a commission always paid by the buyer unless he/she buys directly form the seller. Brokers almost always take their commission at the "boleta" (which usually occurs within a couple weeks after the offer is accepted) at which the buyer usually pays the seller 30% of the purchase price and both the buyer and seller pay whatever real estate commission is due to the broker.Very odd that the fee is paid by the buyer as opposed to by the seller. Or maybe that's just because I'm used to the opposite!
PS: Based on what I was told as I bought and sold property in the past, if the seller does not follow through and actually sell the property, he/she will owe the buyer double what they paid at the boleta and if the buyer fails to complete the purchase, they will lose all sums previously paid..
