Hi realestate,
I don't think anybody would mind any agent receiving their rightful commission as many provide a valuable service to their clients.
What buyers require from my point of view are truthful statements from agents,builders/developers and property to be finished on time or near the dates given.
What buyers also expect are good finishing standards with good build quality backed by a comprehensive building guarantee usually 10 years.
As we all know the Egyptian property market is definately taking off and the builder/developers are making very good money,so it is only fair that the buyers expect excellent developments for the right price with fair maintenance charges.
Any other services that are offered are a bonus for the buyer.
If an agent shows you around 10 properties and doesn't create any interest just remember he is the loser,on the other hand there are situations where the agent will sell directly off the web without any viewings.
So the agent is doing some work for you from the point of contact right upto and beyond you receiving your keys.
It is a job and yes I agree everyone needs to show a profit in the business world, just be fair and look after your customers then you will not have to advertise, your customers will do that for you.
