For a 150 m² house in Appenzell Ausserrhoden, a traditional agency charging 2–4% would cost CHF 23'000 to CHF 47'000.
Ask who will handle your file day to day, not just the first meeting. Contracts and the mandate should be explained to you in English.
2–4% sounds small, but on a Swiss home it means tens of thousands of francs. Ask for the total amount in writing.
