1. Commission Fees (Provisjon)

The main cost of hiring a real estate agent in Norway is the commission fee. This is usually a percentage of the final selling price, typically ranging between 1% and 3%.

For example, if you sell a property for NOK 5 million, a 2% commission would amount to NOK 100,000.

The percentage can vary depending on the region, the property’s value, and the level of competition among agents.

2. Fixed Costs and Administration Fees

In addition to commission, agents often charge fixed fees for administrative work. These may include:

Marketing package (photography, floor plans, online listings, drone shots) – NOK 10,000 to 20,000.

Legal paperwork and contracts – usually NOK 5,000 to 10,000.

Prospectus and printed materials – NOK 2,000 to 5,000.

These fees can either be bundled into the overall commission or itemized separately.

3. Extra Marketing Costs

Some sellers opt for additional exposure to make their property stand out. This can include:

Premium listings on Finn.no (Norway’s biggest real estate marketplace).

Extra digital ads on social media or Google.

Professional video tours.

Such add-ons can cost anywhere from NOK 5,000 to 30,000, depending on how aggressively you want to market your property.
