We have been in the Houston Real Estate market for around 4+ years as successful brokerage and our broker has been in real estate for more than 15 years. We have seen all kinds of clientele and most of them crouch about one thing in common.

Why Real Estate Agents get paid 3% on each and every transactions?

If it’s small sale price property, not a big deal. If you are dealing with 500,000 home, Agent commission is almost $15,000. I know it’s a lot. Do they do that much work to earn that money. Sure do, many realtors work hard to gain their fees. But if you put yourself in seller or buyer shoes, that’s lot of money for god sake. In this current internet era, where there is app for every thing and everything is made and simple and can be made easier to do. But we still do need personal presence to do Real Estate Transactions. That’s because it’s big ticket items for both sides. That’s not avoidable.

But is it possible to see whether agents are willing to work with reduced fees, sure why not. Many agents starting to provide rebates to the buyers towards closing from their commission . Many agent started doing reduced listing fees. So it’s happening a lot these days.

We are going above and beyond to offer all transactions Flat Fees model. Easy and Pick and choose for your comfort level. Every agent offers different ways so talk to the agent and they will work with you.

Just for example, one of our agent does the below,
New Homes Purchase:
Sale Price under $250,000 – commission $1000, all rebate paid back towards closing cost.

Resale Purchase:
commission $2000 or 1% whichever is less – No Showings
commission $2500 – 5 Showings & Close and goes up for every 5 shows.,

Listing fees:
commission $1000- Listing only
commission $1250 – Listing & Sales Comps Provided and goes up.,  All listing requires min 6 month contract.

Investors:
commission $1000 for Purchase or Sale, everything as rebate paid back towards closing – only if expect to do multiple properties in a year.

We like to Advice, Assist and Achieve together in a smart way. We hope this Flat Rate Services would make you happy and feel about the service provided as well.
