If they readily negotiate away their own pay, do you really expect them to look out for your money with more skill and fortitude? I have zero doubt that paying a strong commission to a great agent with excellent marketing and a serious commitment to your financial position can NET you more in a listing than a discount agent that charges less but does little to market your property and negotiate effectively for you.
I have had several recent listings where my negotiating strategy and approach likely saved each client five or even six figures. That kind of circumstance is not at all unusual. Real estate is no different than most other places in life, you often get what you pay for. However, in real estate, the stakes are much, much higher than just about anywhere else we spend or invest money. Sellers will sometimes look at the overall commission percentage, do some quick math, and then imagine that dollar amount dropping into the pocket of their listing agent when the deal closes.
In reality, most sales result in half going to one brokerage and half to another. While there are some sole proprietors that are their own brokers, most agents are affiliated with a brokerage that they share their commission with. Even after the agent gets their split, they still incur other costs, some of which I detail below. Some of the costs that listing agents incur for a transaction can include:. As with listings, agents representing buyers utilize advertising and marketing to find their buyer clients.
Many agents pay for online and print advertising to help do so. Depending on the agent, they might have a budget of hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars per month. More on that below. Many will drop everything to accommodate showings for or with their clients. This might range from photos to video production. Good agents will leverage social tools to help market your home to a broader audience.
I know the more agents I can get through the home, the better chance one of them will bring in a great buyer for my clients. And when working with buyers or sellers, an agent is not guaranteed to be compensated eg. Listed a house: Call Agent Email. Keller Williams Carmel Valley. For Sale: 2. Experience: 32 years 6 months.
