On a sales transaction for instance, the commissions charged by the brokerage firms is to the seller hence this semi-lie that “the seller pays the broker fees aka 6 percent.” On rentals, the broker fees used to be charged to the tenant but the market being weak, the fees are now paid by landlords. With technology and the transparence of online real estate portal, real estate prices became increasingly more transparent but the broker fees remained unchanged! Nicole Fishman Benoliel and her husband Georges are not brokers and are not real estate people either. They only saw an opportunity to disrupt that inefficient real estate market. Why the hell did the fees remain so high while the market became transparent and everything is available online? They started a real estate licensed agency paying the majority of the fee back to their clients. As their services were appreciated and there was a real need for NestApple, the demand for their services grew.
