Yes—when you buy an apartment on paper apartment, working with a realtor usually comes with a fee. But here’s why smart buyers still choose to work with a professional anyway:

  1. The Sales Office Works for the Builder—Not for You.
    Their job is to sell. A realtor’s job is to protect you. That means asking the right questions, flagging concerns, and making sure the contract is fair.
  2. Real Market Knowledge = Real Savings.
    We know the prices that have been negotiated in the same project, the benefits others have received, and where there’s room to bargain. That alone can save you more than our fee.
  3. We Help You Compare Across Projects.
    Not sure if this is really the best deal for your budget and lifestyle? A realtor can compare options, give honest advice, and help you find what’s truly right for you—not just what’s available in one sales office.
  4. We’re With You from Start to Finish.
    From choosing the right unit, reviewing plans and specs, connecting you with lawyers and mortgage advisors, to walking you through the process until you get the keys—we’re in it with you.
  5. Avoid Costly Mistakes.
    One overlooked clause in the contract or one missed detail in the building specs can cost thousands. We make sure that doesn’t happen.

Bottom line? Paying for a realtor is an investment that can save you money, stress, and time—and help you buy smarter, not just faster
