Believe it or not, I make the same amount as other agents charging 2.5 – 3%, so of course I can provide the same service. Here’s a common scenario you should understand:

If I sell a $300,000 home for 2%, I make $6,000 (gross). If someone else sells the same home for 3%, they make $9,000 gross. But what about when the client is referred by another agent, or by a leads service like Zillow, or the Dave Remsey Preferred Agent programs. They willingly pay referral fees of up to 35% or more. They’re alreay down to less than $6,000 – and that’s before the split they pay to their broker.

I don’t rely on lead sources to get new clients, and I work with a broker who allows me to keep 100% of my commission. Because of this, I choose to pass those savings on to my clients. People have many agents to choose from, so passing these savings on to my clients is a way to set me apart from the others and say THANK YOU for choosing me!

If you sell your home with me, I charge a 2% commission. If you then buy a home and the seller is willing to pay a 3% commission to the buyer’s agent, then I’ll rebate the additional 1% to you, offsetting the cost of selling your home! Here’s an example:

You sell your home for $300,000 and pay me a $6,000 commission. You then buy a $350,000 home and the seller offers a 3% commission. I would keep 2% of that and rebate the remaining 1% ($3,500) back to you! This means you’re only out of pocket $2,500, compared to another agent that might charge you 3% ($9,000) with potentially no rebate on the buy side.

YES, and it’s very simple! If you buy a home with another real estate agent and allow me to get you connected with that agent, I will collect a referral fee from that agent and put that towards the commission you pay me on the sales side!
