Reasonable commission to the buyer's agent (2.5%-3.0%)

If you've been a FSBO for any time at all you've had agents calling you asking "will you cooperate with agents". That's agent speak for will you pay me a commission if I bring my buyer to your home. Most seller's say "of course I will...I just don't want to pay both sides of the commission." To that I say "why cooperate when you can participate". The whole point of paying a buyer's agent is to use that commission as an incentive for the agent who has spent his time and energy acquiring and educating a buyer about the buying process and the market in general. If you think about it, who are the best buyers for your property? Those who are serious enough to get pre-approved for a loan, learn about what it takes to buy a house and has sufficient income to buy that house. What does that buyer look like? Generally they are employed full time (in this area more than full time), they are computer savvy, and they are focused on achieving their goal in an efficient, risk-free, and practical manner. How does this buyer find a home? They either go to the most efficient web sites or they hire an agent to find the home for them. Okay...then how do they find my home? The answer to that is easy. The most efficient web sites in this area are all based upon the MLS. They are searchable and have the greatest number of listings and are updated to give the most accurate and up-to-date information. MLSListings.com is the best public web site available. The MLS is where agents go when they have a motivated buyer and they want to protect their commission. There are dozens of other web sites that buyers will use if they don't know about MLSListings.com but they are mostly based upon the Realtor's MLS system. I populate to over a dozen of them.

So, if you might at sometime say to that agent who asks if you'll pay them for bringing them a buyer, you owe it to yourself to use that same commission to place your home on the MLS and lure all of the agents who have buyers they are working with to your home. In addition you will be exposed to all of the home buyers who are searching the best web sites for a home on their own.

In addition, we go out of our way to make your home look and feel to you and your buyer and the other agents like a full service listing. Nothing will compromise your bargaining position with a motivated buyer more than putting a limited service sign in front of your house. It screams "DISCOUNT" and buyers and agents will attach that word to your house.

For $4950 you get a professional sign, lockbox, color flyers and most importantly a well designed and described full service listing on the multiple listing service. You will also get the full service and support that you would expect from a "3%" listing agent including a reasonable number of open homes, a professional sales agent answering both calls form the yard sign and inquiries from the internet, a professional agent dealing with the buyer's agent as well as a trained negotiator familiar with your home and market area ready to go to battle for you in order to save you time and get you top dollar for your home.
