Would an EA have more to gain from a new build sale or a second hand house sale?

    Hi
    Just wondering if it's in an Estate Agents (who is selling both new and old properties in an estate) best interest to sell a new or second hand property in an estate?
    thanks

    Depends on which one gives a higher commission :)

    :)

    Would anyone know / guess at if the commission for selling a new build would be more or less than the 1% charge for a second hand house?

    I'd guess - as they're selling numerous new properties - that they'd be on a bulk deal for commission with the builders and possibly less than 1%?

    Possibly more hassle selling existing properties, so they might attract a slightly higher fee.
