We found no published commission rate for Gwadar. Reports from other Pakistani cities describe about 1 percent from each of the buyer and the seller as the usual rate, and no law sets it, so agree the figure in writing before a dealer shows you a plot.
What Reports Say
Zameen.com says that no specific law governs the work of real estate dealers and agents in Pakistan, so commissions are a matter of custom and vary widely. It says the usual practice is for an agent to ask for 1 percent of the property value from each of the buyer and the seller, and that when the two sides have different agents, each agent keeps the commission from his own client. Graana says some agents ask for as much as 2 percent, and some for less than 1 percent. Global Property Guide lists an agent fee of 1 to 2 percent for the buyer and 1 to 2 percent for the seller.
What That Means in Rupees
Zameen.com puts 1 to 2 percent at about Rs10,000 to Rs20,000 for every Rs10 lakh of the price. On a Rs50 lakh plot, 1 percent is Rs50,000 and 2 percent is Rs100,000, for each side that pays. The cost is small next to the price, but it is large enough to agree in advance.
How to Agree the Commission
Ask for the rate in writing before you view a plot. Ask who pays it, when it is due and what it covers. Ask whether the dealer also represents the seller, and whether the same commission applies if you buy a different plot from the same dealer. Pay by a traceable method and keep a receipt in your name. A dealer who will not state the commission before the deal is a warning sign.
