1 PERCENT HOME SELLER PROGRAM

 

 

 

 

 

EXAMPLE 1:  HOW REAL ESTATE COMMISSIONS WORK 

 

 

 

The vast majority of real estate agents work on commission, meaning that they are paid once the transaction closes. To simplify how commissions are dispersed, they are usually negotiated between the seller and the the listing broker. Once that fee is negotiated, the listing broker puts your home on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The listing broker agrees to split that commission with the cooperating buyers brokers, so they know what compensation is offered before they bring their buyers to the listing. This is an important component to the transaction because it's usually a buyers broker who brings the buyer into the deal, and that commission split is their motivation.

 

At the closing of escrow, you will see the amount of commission being paid to each agent's brokerage on the closing disclosure form. Each broker will then be paid whatever amount of the commission they have earned based on the commission agreement that the listing broker originally negotiated with the seller.

 

 

EXAMPLE 2: TYPICAL 6% TOTAL COMMISSION

 

 

In our second example here, a typical sales commission for brokers is 6% of the sales price, with 3% going to the listing broker and 3% going to the buyers broker. On a $800,000 home your total commissions paid out would be $48000, with $24,000 going to the listing broker and $24000 going to the buyers broker.

In the past this would have been considered a fair commission for the work a broker does

 

 

EXAMPLE 3: 1% HOME SELLERS COMMISSION BREAKDOWN

 

 

Now check out example 3, the 1% home sellers 

 

In our 3rd example here for the 1 percent home seller, we break it down like this: On a $800k home a 1 percent listing fee means you pay a total commission of 3% with 1 percent going to the listing broker and 2% going to the buyers broker. That’s $24000 in total commissions paid out, $16000 going to the buyers brokers and $8000 going to the listing broker, that’s me. That is a savings of $24000!! 50% savings on your typical commission fee’s.

 

Now its worth mentioning here that I typically recommend that we offer the buyers broker a 2% commission to motivate them to get their buyers to the property. But this is something we can discuss when we meet, and like everything else, it is negotiable.
