What Traditional Realtors Don’t want you to Know!

Talking about lowering or sharing commissions in real estate is a taboo topic. The industry standard allows both the buyer’s and seller’s agent to accept 3% on the sale or purchase of a home.

Sharing that commission with a buyer is perfectly legal in Texas. Most brokers would rather not, because they want to keep the full amount — which is their right.

But in many cases the educated homebuyer has already done most of the legwork: identified the area, the neighborhood, the builder, sometimes the exact home. That work makes our job dramatically easier.

Once we find the right home, we negotiate with the builder, review contracts and advise throughout the process. Because our buyers have done so much of the work already, we are able to share the majority of our commission with them. We honestly feel they deserve it.
