Brokerage Fee
Brokerage Fee(仲介手数料)refers to the fee paid to the real estate or broker that helps you through the process of finding a property and finalizing a deal. Whether it is for renting or buying, the real estate company supports the client by searching for properties and facilitating the agreement between the client and the landlord.
In the case of sales
2 million yen or less Sale amount x 5% x Consumption tax
2~4 million yen Sale amount x 4% + 20,000 yen x Consumption tax
Over 4 million yen Sale amount x 3% + 60,000 yen x Consumption tax
In the case of rentals
For rental agreements, the brokerage fee is determined based on the rent amount. Typically, real estate agencies specify the fee as a percentage of the rent, such as “〇% of the rent,” meaning the fee will vary with the rent amount.
