Broker fees in the exposé - question of understanding

Hello dear,

we are about to purchase a plot of land which we found through a real estate agent, but I have a small question regarding the statement in the exposé. The agent writes the following in the exposé

Bei Kauf des Objektes, erhält die Fa. XYZ eine Käuferprovision von 3,57 %, inkl. Mehrwertsteuer, aus dem Kaufpreis. Die Provision wird 14 Tage nach notariellem Kaufvertragsabschluss fällig. Die Beschreibung des Objektes basieren auf den Aussagen des Eigentümers, bzw. den zur Verfügung gestellten Unterlagen

Do I understand correctly that the broker fees are settled with the payment of the advertised purchase price, i.e., the broker is paid from the purchase price?

Regards
Tobi

Do I understand correctly that the broker fees are settled with the payment of the listed purchase price, or that the broker is paid from the purchase price?

No.
It means:
3.57%, which are calculated from the purchase price (and then billed to you separately).

Hello Otus,

thank you for your prompt reply, so I did misunderstand the whole thing after all, that would have been too good to be true ;)

Regards and many thanks
Tobi

Does it say "auf" the purchase price or "aus" the purchase price.

Presumably, "auf" is meant.

But he is operating commercially. So let's wait and nail it down to "aus".

Yes, it is not clearly worded, but by way of interpretation, that is the intended will (of the broker) - and also common usage. Then applies: "Falsa demonstratio non nocet - a false designation does not harm".

Alternatively:
Ask again - let's see what they answer....
