Understanding what changed.

Buyers and sellers now negotiate compensation differently than they did historically. You have three options.

Offer Compensation Up Front

Pros

  • More buyer affordability
  • Larger buyer pool
  • Cleaner transactions
Option 2

Negotiate During Offer

Pros

  • Flexibility

Cons

  • Can create uncertainty
Option 3

Offer No Compensation

Pros

  • Potential savings

Cons

  • Some buyers may not have funds to compensate their representative

My Listing Fee

3% to list and market your property.

Buyer agent compensation, if offered, is determined by you and negotiated as part of the overall transaction strategy.
