Brokerage commission who?
Hello, we bought a house. The seller's agent was the agent, and we had to sign a contract with him before purchasing.
Now, after a successful purchase, the bill arrived.
But now we are informed that this sum is actually borne half by the buyer and half by the seller.
But now we're supposed to pay the full amount? Is that right?
I'm also a little confused because the percentage is slightly less than stated and the purchase price is slightly lower than it actually is.
Questions or are there any changes to the law?

Something’s wrong. The actual price shall be indicated and the commission shall be shared by buyers and sellers in equal parts.
Perhaps the Treaty is also invalid; there can be inappropriate formulations: Here is an example: https://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/immobilien-makler-provision-bgh-sparkasse-kaeufer-1.5818868
Now I just looked and in our brokerage contract is to be carried by the buyer.
The agreements shall apply in advance,
It has been customary by law for a few years that the one who hired the broker, but it has actually spread the Metghode that the courtage is shared.
I just sold an ETW and pay the broker 3.57% incl. Mwst and the buyer pays the same
Yes, it’s so similar here too. However, only 3% are stated. Whether it’s cunning?!
No, that’s what makes the broker to stand off from other brokers and get more orders.
The invoice is significant.
Okay, thanks. But a disadvantage o or repayment can no longer be due? Since the purchase price is also slightly lower in the invoice than it is actually
Thank you.
They pay the part of the broker commission agreed with the broker.
The distribution of commissions has been laid down by law since December 2020. In this way, the buyer is not allowed to pay more than the seller – that is to say a maximum of 50%.
The rule case (deviations of the total commission are possible!) looks like the commission 7.14 % incl. MWST and from both sides with 3.57% incl. VAT must be paid.
According to the new law, there is a so-called proof of payment regarding the payment of the commission share on the seller’s side, but this refers exclusively to the cases which are rather rare in practice, in which the seller’s commission is to be transferred to the non-payable buyer by a notarial clause. On the other hand, the proof of payment does not apply to the standard case of the fair commission division between buyer and seller.
In this case, the normal case described above applies that the broker commission will be due for both sides with the conclusion and signing of the notarial purchase agreement. A prior proof of payment of the seller is not required.
You have entered into a contract with the broker and that’s true.
Yes but the b seller also at this object.
What’s that in the contract?

How would anyone know? Ask the broker
Grade looked again. It says that the buyer carries 3.6% when buying the property…. Okay. But is the benevolence that this is down to 3% and the purchase price is somewhat smaller?
