Frequently Asked Questions

Am I legally required to use the services of a Real Estate Broker in order to sell my house? No, however a recent survey found that 75% of homeowners thought a real estate agent was required in order to sell their homes. Do I need a Real Estate License to sell my house? No, you do not need an agent or a real estate license to sell you own home. We can provide you with other options that are faster, simpler, convenient and even more profitable than selling with an agent. Can I get stuck working with a Real Estate Agent? Yes, most agents will lock you into an exclusive listing agreement. This means you are committed to selling your home with them (potentially up to a year) and agree to pay the commission to the seller no matter how you find a buyer. Once you sign that agreement, even if you found a buyer on your own, the agent is still owed commission from the sale. This is meant to prevent a seller from using multiple agents in order to get the best offer. Exclusive listing agreements can have a negative consequences for you and take profit away from the sale of your home. A potential conflict of interest? Real estate agents do work for commissions and don't always have the best interests of the seller in mind. They are driven by their own personal motivations to make money. Getting paid strictly by commission is a natural conflict of interest, leaving a Realtor in a position to not disclose everything you need to know about selling your home. There are usually two agents involved in a sale, a listing agent and a selling agent. However, in many circumstances it's possible for a selling agent to find the buyer as well. If you agree on a 3% commission for selling your home, this means that the agent will make a total of 6% commission off the sale of your home. The buyer will pay the agent 3% and you will pay 3%. While this doesn't take more money out of your pocket directly, it has some serious indirect consequences that can hurt you in the end.

Look at this example Offer Amount/Agents Involved/Commission/Seller Agent's Profit 1,000,000/ Buyer and Seller's Agents/3%/30,000
900,000/Seller's Agent Only/6%/54,000 Using the example above, you can lose $100,000 worth of profit while your agent makes an extra $24,000 in commission, simply because they found the buyer. Do you trust that your agent will allow themselves to leave $24,000 worth of commission just lying on the table? While they are legally bound to tell you all available offers, not all sellers are created equally and ethically. Even though your house is selling for $100,000 less, they are making more commission by being both the buyer and selling agent in the sale. Don't let this happen.
