Qualifications and Licenses

In Malta, estate agents must be registered with the Malta Institute of Estate Agents and have a valid license to operate. The Institute regulates the industry and sets standards for ethical and professional conduct. Estate agents must have a good understanding of the local property market, relevant regulations and laws, and strong negotiation and communication skills.

Estate Agent Fees

Estate agents in Malta usually charge a commission fee, which is a percentage of the sale price of the property. The standard commission rate is 2.5% to 3%. This fee is usually shared between the seller’s agent and the buyer’s agent. In some cases, the seller may agree to cover the entire estate agent fee.
