Lower
Commission
Isn’t
The Commission Level Always The Same?
Most
of the time the answer is yes. The standard commission
rate is 6%, with the listing agent and the selling agent
each receiving 3% of the total sale. For example: if
a house is sold for $100,000, the listing agent and selling
agent each receive 3% of $100,000, which is $3,000 per person.
In most cases, we can negotiate a lower commission. Let’s
say we were able to negotiate the commission down to 2.5%
- which is not uncommon. In this instance the agent would
only receive $2,500, saving you $500. If the house is
sold for $200,000, the money saved doubles to $1,000. And
if you use YOUR AGENT CONNECTION to find an agent
to sell your house for $200,000 and buy a new one for
$200,000,
you save $2,000. What would you do with the extra money?
 How
Does YOUR AGENT CONNECTION Have The Power To Negotiate?
Our
ability to negotiate on your behalf stems from our size
and our lack of affiliation to any single real estate agency.
Because our data base takes us into most agencies across
the country, we have built a network of top agents who are
willing to work with committed buyers and sellers. It is
worth it for the agent to take a little less money if they
feel they are working with motivated buyers and sellers.
Since we are not affiliated with any particular agency,
we are not forced to give you their agent under the agency’s
terms. The agents work under your terms.
