Free Real Estate Agent Quote Template
Real estate agents quote their service fee separately from the sale commission so clients understand exactly what they are paying for before signing an agreement. A clear quote specifies the marketing activities, the fee structure, and the notice period for ending the instruction.

What should a real estate agent put on a quote?
A real estate quote sets out the planned listing service and the fee before the sale, such as a sales advisory and listing package, photography, and viewing support. List each service and whether the fee is a percentage or fixed, and note that it is usually due on completion. The fee is an estimate until accepted.
Typical line items
- Property sales advisory and listing package
- Professional photography and floor plan
- Viewing coordination and negotiation support
- Property valuation and pricing advice
- Marketing and portal listings
- Commission or fixed fee basis
- Conveyancing and legal (separate, by others)
- Sole or multi-agency terms
How the work is charged
Real estate agents usually quote a commission as a percentage of the sale price or a fixed listing fee, with marketing and photography either included or itemised. The basis and agency terms are stated clearly.
Payment terms and deposits
A quote commonly proposes the fee on completion of the sale, with any upfront marketing stated separately. The fee holds for a stated period and is an estimate until accepted, so note the agency terms.
Tax and compliance
If you are registered for sales tax or VAT, show it as a separate line with your registration number. Property sale and commission tax rules differ by jurisdiction, so confirm what applies.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a real estate agent charge?
Estate agent commission in Europe ranges from 2% to 6% of the sale price depending on the country. In Germany, the Bestellerprinzip means buyers often pay 3% to 3.5%. In the UK, commission typically runs 1% to 3%. Some agents charge flat fees of €2,000 to €8,000. Always confirm whether VAT is included in the quoted rate.
What marketing activities should a real estate quote cover?
A full-service listing quote should specify: professional photography, floor plan, portal listings (Rightmove, Immobilienscout24, Idealista), brochure, for sale board, open house organisation, accompanied viewings, and offer negotiation. Downgraded packages with fewer services should cost proportionally less.
What is a sole agency versus multi-agency quote?
Sole agency means only one agent is marketing the property; the commission rate is lower (typically 1% to 1.5%). Multi-agency allows multiple agents to market simultaneously; the winning agent earns a higher commission (2% to 3%). Define clearly in the quote which arrangement is being agreed.
