Tip I just sold my home that was well over a million dollars with NO relators. We filled out a short form with the buyer. It was easy and did not require any fees. Now I gave a fair price and did not try to screw the buyer for as much money as possible. Be fair and do it on your own.

buyer's agent is the selling agent. the seller is represented by a "listing agent." confusing I know.

@jenniferbmendezful 19 дней назад

Right, I have bought and sold properties on my own. But was successful because it was a standard to Come in with my own agent. When I made ridiculous offers. I would let the listing agent know I did not have an agent and if they were successful in getting my offer accepted - they got both sides of commission. Guess who’s offer got accepted even though it was lower. The listing agents will encourage the acceptance of your offer. That incentive is now gone. Selling my home without an agent but still on MLS just took way longer, but still doable. (Buyer agents would skip your listing.) If buyers use agents per house for a flat fee, they wouldn’t waste so much time kooky loo-ing 👀.

@janetjackson9106 Месяц назад

@@AudraLambert I don't see a difference on the selling side; its just process and paperwork is different. I pay the listing realtor 3% and I pay buying agent 3% (example, could be different percentages). My concern is when I have sold my house and now I want to buy another to live in. If the seller for my "new" house does NOT want to pay my buying agent, I am then stuck paying my buying agent. I live in NJ (expensive), so the buying agent commission could be considerable. So now I have conceivably paid 2 buyer agent commissions and 1 listing agent commission, right? Even though my house is much too big for me and I would like to downside, between the house prices, mortgage rates, capital gains taxes, election, and this crap shoot on buying agent commission, I think I am safer to just stay where I am!

In Florida they are still asking for 6%, and I'm being told that 'No agent will show your home for low commission"! What is going one here is if you want to sell FSBO, with an MLS flat fee, you must state what you are going to pay the buyers agent right off. I stated that I'm lowering my home 50K, because I want to sell fast, and I was told that no agent will show my home unless I offer a decent commission. I only chose to go FSBO with MLS flat fee because of unethical realtors.....sadly. Now, because my home has been on and off many times, I will have to just about give my home away...OH how I wish you could sell in FL.

Audra. I do not care one bit on buyers commission whether published or not. The information relevant to me is the bottom line. It is clear no one helps without being paid to do so. No one works for free although relatives might think differently. Yes, I understand buyers and sellers need to cooperate with the market. And we now understand we do not discuss buyer commission when the listing itself occurs. Only after an offer is received. My questions to Audra are three: 1. Should I make repairs before it is seen by the potential listing agent, example might be installing new locks on the front door or even painting it. 2. Should I hire a cleaning crew to clean the entire house plus windows before it is seen by the listing agent, or ask the listing agent to use her crews? 3. Using percentages, would 3% listing agent commission be an acceptable figure today? The house is paid off, and we live in a different state. So the house will be completely empty at time listing agreement is created. We do not cheap out on our selling costs and fees, we just want ballparks. Thanks Audra. Robert from Texas

@AudraLambert 27 дней назад

Agreed, everyone is concerned with their bottom line, I hear you there! 1. You could do either, but I would suggest walking the home with agent and getting recommendations on what to do (or not do) before listing. A good agent will have insight on what to do to maximize your bottom line! 2. Yes, please hire a cleaning and window cleaner. If you don't know a good one then getting a recommendation from an agent is a good options as well. 3. Every area and price point is different. I would interview 3 different agents and ask what they provide for their commission. Sometimes it is worth it to pay the 3% percent if they are providing many services (staging, pre-inspection, appraisals like our team does) If you are having a hard time finding a good agent, we can have a referral program and can recommend a great agent in your area. Best of luck with listing your home! Keep me posted and let me know if you have any other questions I can help with!

@kt6332 Месяц назад

Hey Audra, I hear lumber isn’t moving so well meaning new home builders have slowed down a lot. The increase on the market is more like existing homes. Most of the existing homes I see in the market that go on contingencies come back on to the market. In my state most homes are priced way above appraisal. Then the repairs to the homes needed to get homeowners insurance are quite costly like, new roof, up grade to electrical or plumbing and or siding. I believe this is why they keep going back on the market. Nobody wants or can afford buying homes at these prices. Do you see this changing?

@AudraLambert Месяц назад

Yes, the market is really slowing. I haven't seen huge reductions in housing values YET. Some areas of the country are experiencing different results. If there is a lot of inventory in an area, more than likely the prices will stabilize and homeowners will have to reduce their price to attract buyers. If rates come down further, however, affordability may improve. Its all dependent on mortgage rates, inventory levels, and the unemployment rate.

@duanejahn2368 27 дней назад

The same problem that existed before August 13 will continue to exist after. That is the real estate market colluding to manipulate sellers and/or buyers to maximize their commission. They are already conjuring up ways to manipulate the sellers to pay the buyers real estate commission by sowing the seeds in both seller and buyer. Example: the buyer's agent getting the buyer to agree to a 3% commission under the guise that the seller will pay. It is so obvious what they are trying to do

@anitah2404 Месяц назад

@@ramsrnja I don’t really know. My realtor said that the new rules require the buyer to sign a buyer’s agent contract before they can even see the property. So I don’t know if the seller’s agent would even show the home to you unless you hire them as your buyer’s agent, while they also represent the seller. But that could be a problem legally if they represent the buyer and the seller at the same time. I sold a home many years ago when my agent also represented the buyer, and I had to sign an agreement allowing him to do that. These new rules are making things pretty complicated right now.

The agent can't double dip, but the buyer can ask for more than they are paying their agent, and they don't have to tell you. You will see this at closing, but that's too late to do anything about it. Those agents will get a reputation over time, which is why she said it will take six months to shake out.

As a seller who will eventually need to buy, and thus utilize a "buyer's agent", paying the seller and buyer's agent as a seller is risky. What happens when I sell my home, pay 5% to 6% (seller and buyer's agent compensation), and then I end up having to pay my own buyer's agent a percentage when I need to buy a home, because the seller of the home I decide to buy will not pay anything towards compensating my agent as a buyer? I could feasibly end up paying 6% as a seller, and then turn around and pay 2% or 3% to the agent representing me as a buyer. 8% to 9%, and on top of that closing costs? That's insane. How are we to deal with that?

@Shannon_Stamm 12 дней назад

You should still have enough equity to apply towards new house after the agents are paid. Their fees are negotiable. And if that doesn't work for you, you still have the option to represent yourself, which seems to be the popular decision, although I don't think it's wise, but it's an option.

Hello, Thanks for the information. Question: I have signed a seller’s agreement about 25 days ago and realtor stated that her fees are 3% for buyer to ensure we get a buyer and she’ll get 2% commission, we’ve not had a single showing request…..I’m able to cancel the contract with realtor with the new law/policy 8/17/24?

Thank you for your wonderful guidance, Audra. I am about to list my home, which has an ADU/ inlaw apartment downstairs with full kitchen. The dishwasher just stopped working in that 2nd kitchen. Does it need to be replaced? Staging begins in 2 weeks. Thank you for any advice. 😊

Hello there, I would tell my clients that all components should be working. I think a dishwasher is pretty important..just my opinon.

That's hilarious! Same thing happened to me a week ago! It's possible I can fix it, but don't know if it is worth it since the appliances are probably 10 years old?

@johnhaller5851 Месяц назад

My dishwasher stopped working between the buyer's offer and closing. I found the cheapest dishwasher on the market and told the buyer that I would give that as a rebate, and if they didn't like that , I would fix it. They complained that they couldn't find that price, but still took my offer. Before listing, I would just get it fixed, it's the buyer's problem when it breaks the next time, and they may be planning on replacing it with a quieter model after closing. On my next house, I took out the dishwasher in the house I planned to sell, and swapped it with the one in the house I was buying, as I liked my dishwasher. I was lucky enough to be able to close on the new house before listing the old one.

Thanks, Audra! I got your explanation on the commission changesl What do you think of people waiting until after Aug. 17th (when the new commission rules apply) to sign listing agreements? Seems somebody will try gaming the new rules somehow in the transition period.

@AudraLambert Месяц назад

I think we all don't really know how this whole thing is going to work initially. Right now, we are already using the revised forms. They can wait...but it really isn't that much longer. The market is slowing too...meaning sellers will probably comply.

@pennystonks2838 Месяц назад

Audra - what does this mean to people who have already listed their home through a listing agent? I listed with an agent in mid July and had a 3% commission going to the buyer’s agent. The housing market slowed down so I have already reduced the price considerably. Do I need to review and revise that contract with my listing agent in anticipation of the August 17 changes so that commission can now be part of the negotiations? Since the new law comes in and affects my contract? Thank you as always for your insights into the housing market and fabulous tips on selling your house.

@AudraLambert Месяц назад

Hi Penny, your listing agent will be sending you a modification of the listing agreement to exclude the buyer's agent commission. Its all negotiable now:). Best of luck.

The owner is a really nice lady that was somewhat recently widowed and she's always welcome to visit if she ever chooses to .

Do you think buyer's agents will settle for a fee or a percentage based commission?

@AudraLambert Месяц назад

Sure...its all negotiable. They may not work for cheap..but a flat rate is good..if they agree.

@johnhaller5851 Месяц назад

Much depends on what you expect the buyer's agent to do. My current house was sold by a flipper, and my agent said she spent more time on my house than typical, as the seller was difficult to deal with, as they were putting on lipstick, and not fixing what they said they would fix. I was more than happy to take money, as they were hiring the cheapest contractors, but they thought they could fix things for less. We even held money in escrow, and they had a week to fix what they didn't finish before closing.

@Elizabeth-mo3fv 29 дней назад

What is the rationale behind this law about the buyers agent fees?

@AudraLambert Месяц назад

Before the new laws, the seller automatically agreed to pay the buyer agent's commission. It was published in MLS. The lawsuit was about buyers not being able to affect the buyer's agent commission and therefore wasn't able to negotiate the price of the home in their favor (because the house was priced with the commission baked into the price). Now its all negotiable.

Does the new law affect a current selling contract?

@AudraLambert Месяц назад

YES! If you currently have a listing contract in place, you listing agent will be sending you an addendum stating that no buyer agent commission are included in the contract.

@debholtz54 Месяц назад

If you had an open house and the buyer has no agent with them.. would you show the house without an agreement as a dual agent and would you charge them a flat rate for showing the house? I’m asking because I’ve heard many people on these forums say they will not work with a buyers agent and go directly to the sellers agent to see the house or go to open houses only. It would seem like the sellers agent could be wasting time and energy showing homes without any compensation especially if the showings don’t convert to an offer.

@AudraLambert Месяц назад

Great question! If I was holding an open house and a buyer was asking me "things" about the home I would answer the questions appropriately. As soon as the conversation would turn to "hey, would you represent me", I would immediately pull out an already printed buyer/broker agreement and have them sign it on the spot. In my situation, I always have my sellers to agree to a reduced commission if I represent both sides. I would communicate this to the buyer. Full disclosures. Some listing agents may entertain a flat fee. I already have my agreement with the seller agreed upon before even listing the home. Hope that helps.

@debholtz54 Месяц назад

@@AudraLambert - what about if they called you directly and wanted you to show them the house? Again no buyer agent? I could possibly see where people would bypass buyers agents and call the listing agent directly to see the house. You’re gonna be one busy lady!

Does the new commission law also apply to Commercial Property?

@AudraLambert Месяц назад

Honestly, I am not sure. However, if a commercial property is listed in MLS, there will be no commission listed. Commercial properties use other listing services. Not sure how that is going to work. Most commercial real estate negotiate their commission in the deal anyway.

Who needs a buyers agent? For much less you can pay a real estate attorney to review all your documents. That way you get advice coming from an expert that knows the law. Most of the buyers agent are just useless. That’s my experience. The sellers agent will be advertising the home for sale in different medias the buyer that’s interested can see the property alone.

@AudraLambert Месяц назад

Hello there...like anything out there, you just got to find the right representation. Buyers agents can be invaluable if you find the right one. Unfortunately, there are a lot of not so good one out there.

@johnhaller5851 Месяц назад

The lawyer isn't going to open the house for a home inspection, or take you on a walkthrough on the day of closing. So, you still need one, but negotiate for what they will do for their commission.

@joevarga5982 Месяц назад

This is going to bring chaos to the process. Rhetorical questions: What is a buyer's agent going to do if he/she calls the seller/sellers agent and finds out there's no commission? Is the buyer's agent going to tell their buyer that they can't represent the buyer unless the buyer pays a certain commission? Will the buyer be prevented from buying that home without paying their agent? This could lead to a lot more grief in the buying process. It's all going to have to be spelled out in the buyer's agency agreement. This may never be standardized either. Hopefully this will somehow cut down on time-wasting not-serious buyers who just look at homes as a hobby. I was hoping that buyers wold have to pay per showing, but it looks like they've devised a clever way to get sellers to pay. It'll be interesting to see if sellers still go along with this.

@@AudraLambert for me as a potential seller the tone comes across to me as discontented resentment; and have commissions always been negotiable? That's a rhetorical question because my experience is getting reprimanded by agents I've interviewed years ago for asking such questions; and I've hired agents who are respectful about the topic but still they have literally said "this is how the industry works" with full condescension. So hopefully the new laws are a humility check.
