Fees

At Buyers Uruguay, we set out to change the way people buy real estate in our country. To do this, we adopted and adapted to our local reality the Buyer Agency model, a methodology that is the proven standard in the world’s most established real estate markets, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Spain, and Portugal, among other countries.

We are a 100% Uruguayan agency that took the best international practices and applied them here, giving local buyers the same level of exclusivity, transparency, and legal certainty demanded in the world’s leading capitals.

Commission upon closing of the transaction

  • 3% + VAT
  • Applied to the final purchase value
  • Payable only if the transaction is completed

Initial commitment (fee retainer)

  • USD 500
  • Fully deducted from the final fee
  • Covers the entire process (search, visits, negotiation, legal work, and purchase)

What does the retainer guarantee the buyer?

The initial commitment establishes a clear professional framework and enables exclusive representation of the buyer from the very start of the purchase process.

1. Positioning as a qualified buyer

The retainer identifies the buyer as a serious, negotiation-ready party, facilitating access to relevant opportunities — including properties outside the open market — while avoiding unproductive processes.

2. Professional independence and absence of conflicts of interest

Because we work exclusively for the buyer, we can recommend moving forward, renegotiating, or walking away from a property when technical or legal analysis calls for it, free of any commercial pressure.

3. Coverage of legal analysis and due diligence

The retainer covers general legal counsel and the initial stages of due diligence, aimed at identifying relevant legal risks before the buyer takes on significant financial commitments.
This makes for a more informed, orderly, and secure buying process from the earliest stages.

From the very start of the process, the buyer has access to in-house legal counsel, at no additional cost. 

Note: retainer is part of our total fee.
The amount paid is fully deducted from the final 3% + VAT fee, if the transaction is completed.
