Commission
Commission, often viewed with skepticism actually serves as a crucial motivator and aligns the interests of agents with those of their clients. Here’s why commission isn’t a dirty word:
1. Incentive alignment: Incentivizes agents to work diligently on behalf of their clients. Since their earnings are tied to the sale price, they have a vested interest in securing the best possible deal
2. Risk sharing: Realtors typically work on a commission-only basis. Meaning they only get paid when a sale is successfully closed. This arrangement shares the risk with the client and ensures that the agent is motivated to achieve results.
3. Expertise & Service: commission compensates realtors for their expertise, time, and resources invested in marketing, negotiating and facilitating the transaction. It enables them to provide high-quality service and support throughout the entire selling process.
4. No Upfront Costs: For sellers, commission eliminates the need for upfront payments. They benefit from the agent’s services without bearing any financial burden until the property is sold.
5. Performance-Based: Commission-based compensation ensures that agents are rewarded based on their performance. Agents who consistently deliver results are rewarded while those who underperform face natural consequences.
6. Investment in Marketing: A portion of the commission earned by agents is allocated to marketing expenses such as professional photography, video tours and paid ads. This investment enhances the visibility and marketability of the property. We provide a detailed breakdown & plan for each property before signing a listing contract to ensure alignment on our objectives and expectations.
7. Professionalism & Ethics: Reputable agents operate ethically and transparently. We are so transparent you can find all of our pricing below, you won’t find that with anyone else!
