How much commission does a property dealer charge in Trivandrum?
The customary brokerage in Trivandrum is 2% of the sale value from each side for a purchase, and one month's rent for a residential letting. Nothing in Kerala law fixes this, so it is negotiable, and larger transactions usually settle below 2%. Agree the figure in writing before the dealer starts showing properties.
Do property dealers in Kerala need RERA registration?
Yes. Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, any agent facilitating the sale of a registered project must hold a Kerala RERA agent registration. Ask for the number and check it on the K-RERA portal before paying anything. We show the registration number on each listing where the dealer has supplied one.
What is the difference between a property dealer and a real estate broker?
In practice, nothing. Both terms describe someone who connects buyers and sellers for a commission. "Property dealer" is the more common phrasing in Kerala and North India, while "broker" and "realtor" are used more in metros and in international listings. The same person often appears under all three labels.
Should I use a property dealer or deal directly with the owner?
A dealer earns their commission on two things: access to unlisted inventory and paperwork. If you already know the property and the owner, a lawyer handling the title search and registration is usually the better spend. If you are searching across several localities, a dealer who works that specific area will see stock before it reaches any portal.
