Common Questions

It's real and appears on your closing disclosure as a reduction in your closing costs. The credit is documented in your buyer-broker agreement and processed through escrow at closing — no separate payment, no waiting period.

It's typically applied toward your closing costs, which can free up cash you would have used for closing to put toward your down payment. Some lenders allow direct application — we'll structure it the way that works best for your loan.

Generally, the IRS treats agent rebates as a reduction in the purchase price of your home — not as income. That said, I'm not a tax advisor. Talk to your CPA for your specific situation.

No. The savings come from how my brokerage is structured — not from reducing what I do for you. Same showings, same negotiations, same closing support as any full-commission agent.

Post the 2024 NAR settlement, buyer commissions are negotiated on every transaction. I'll always disclose what's offered before we tour. If the offered commission is below my minimum, we'll discuss whether to negotiate it into the offer or adjust the credit — but you'll always know upfront.

Up to $500K = $5,000. $500–600K = $6,999. $600–700K = $7,999. $700–800K = $8,999. Above $800K, the fee scales by $1,000 per additional $100K of home value (a $1M home is $11,000; a $1.5M home is $16,000).

That's separate from my listing fee. You'll decide what (if anything) to offer the buyer's agent in your listing terms — typically 2–3%. We'll discuss this during our initial meeting and structure it to attract strong buyers.

Yes. Same MLS listing, same syndication to Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and 100+ platforms, same photography, same showings, same negotiations as a 2.5% agent. The only thing that changes is what I charge.

At closing, deducted from your sale proceeds. If your home doesn't sell, you owe nothing. No upfront fees, no monthly fees, no marketing fees.

The traditional 5 to 6 percent model was built when agents had to physically drive buyers around and run print ads. Most of that work is digital now, so we charge a flat fee for the listing services: MLS, photos, marketing, negotiation, paperwork and you save the difference. You still offer a commission to the buyer's agent, that part's the same.

Yes. Your home is listed on the MLS like any other listing — buyer's agents can't tell what the listing agent's fee is. As long as you offer a competitive buyer-side commission, your home gets the same activity as any other listing in its price range.
