The honest framing is that the fee is set by agreement, which is a more useful idea than "negotiable" or "non-negotiable". Because Belgian agency commissions are contractual rather than regulated, the number that ends up in your mandate is the result of a transparent conversation about your specific property.
Several things shape that conversation. A higher-value or more straightforward property, the level of service you want, and whether the mandate is exclusive all feed into the fee. That is precisely why Easyhome fixes it in writing before any advert appears: you see the cost, understand what it covers, and agree it up front rather than discovering it later. Transparency at the start is what makes the arrangement fair to both sides.
It is worth resisting the instinct to treat the fee as the main lever. The counter-intuitive fact is that the sale price achieved, and the speed of the sale, usually move far more money than a small change in commission. A property that sells quickly and at the right price, supported by professional marketing and a fee that is, in principle, only due on a sale, tends to serve the seller better than the cheapest possible fee on a listing that lingers.
For the specifics that apply to you, the valuation appointment is the place to have the discussion, and it is free and without obligation.
