Do I have to pay estate agent fees if I sell privately in Ashington?

However, most Ashington agents operate on a 'sole agency' or 'multi-agency' contract, and if a buyer originally introduced by the agent completes, the fee is still due even if you handle the final negotiation yourself. Always check the contract before signing. Compare committed-fee Ashington agents on AgentSeeker. committed-fee Ashington agents.
