agree.. where agencies exist in france , a new and growing phenmenon, they copied the USA model, of 6% +/-..for this, they show the house and do not much else. seller has to get all docs , and there are a lot !!...in the old days, the Notaire did everything including listing a house for sale, but no photos etc...some oldies still list via notaire. Notaire is colecting guv;mint taxes and does ALL the legal work and may charge a fixed fee..so the oncost of buying can range from 8-12 %..what they did there was dump the US fee on top of the existing french system...its horrendous...
