Same as resale house.

Reabte 2/3 buyer commission (equal to 2% out of 3% commission)

Almost all MLS listed properties in Texas offer a 3% commission to a buyer’s agent. As your agent, we give you 2%, and we keep 1%. If the commission offered is ever less than 3%, your rebate is correspondingly less. For example, if the commission is 2.5%, we still get 1% and you get 1.5%

You do the initial legwork of identifying the house you want to make an offer on, which most buyers do today anyway. We put in the offer and do all the paperwork and negotiations. Upon closing, you get what usually amounts to 2/3 of the commission

• Getting in to see existing homes

You have several options in getting in to see a home.

+ Open house is the most convenient

+ Listing agent – most are willing to show it, but some may ask for something in writing to ensure they get the entire commission. Most get 3% for the listing half of the commission, and another 3% if they also represent the buyer. Don’t sign anything!

+ Paid showing – you can pay $50 to $100 to have an agent show you the home with no further obligations.

+ Any other agent who is willing to show it to you (call us before doing this).
