A new website that connects home sellers to property agents will allow users to pay what they think the agent deserves.
Through the Urban Agents portal at www.urbanagents.com, sellers can opt to pay agents as low as 1 per cent commission for bad service, and up to 2.5 per cent for "world class service". The market norm is around 2 per cent, though commissions can be negotiated beforehand.
