Hi,

Need advice on when to pay the agent fees for purchase of resale flat.

Got the invoice from the agent company today. However, the invoice did not state the deadline of when to pay the fees.

My first appointment with the HDB will be mid Jan 09. Another issue is that the current owner requested to stay for a month after the second appointment with HDB before shifting out of the flat. (Second appointment about 8 weeks after the first appointment)

Just wonder, is it possible to pay half the agent fees on the first appointment with HDB and the balance after the current owner shift out?

Estimated, the duration from the first appointment with HDB until the current owner to shift out is about 3 months time.

Thanks

Pay after the 2nd appointment; when you get the keys.

If you pay them early, they'll generally start getting sloppy.
