When speaking with "potential" Buyers, I am often asked, "So, How Much Are WE Going to Have to Pay You to Represent Us?"  Well, the answer to that question is quite simple, but often creates a bit of a puzzled look on the person's face when I tell them that they will pay me ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! 

 

        You see, as a Buyer, you are represented for free.  The Buyer Agent's commission is PAID BY THE SELLER.  The Seller agrees to list their home with a Listing Agent for a set percentage, usually 5 to 7%.  The Listing Agent then decides what portion of that percentage they will offer to the Buyer's Agent, as compensation for bringing an acceptable offer to the table. 

 

        You will see some of the benefits of that FREE representation under the "Realtors for Buyers" tab to the right.
