Tying buyer agent commission to tougher pricing

Tying buyer agent commission to tougher pricing

Flipper/Rehabber · Bloomfield CT · Member since 2020 · 1k+ posts · 408 votes

I will be listing a property and want to create a tiered buyer commission -

- 1% offer at list or below 

- 1.5% offer between 190 and 220

- 2% offer above 220

an additional 0.5% for offers that require minimal or no addressing of inspection issues or other requests that cost seller money

thoughts?

Buyer's agents can no longer see what commission rate sellers are offering after the NAR lawsuit settlement last year. I would write $10k flat fee into the offer for a property at this price point, as that is the lowest amount that it makes sense for me to do a transaction with all of my expenses and time accounted for. If the listing agent told me your recommended commission structure, or you countered our offer with that, I would tell you to get serious. 1% at this price point is like $2 an hour after expenses. You are not a serious seller. My buyer would have to pay me out of their own pocket, and the price would need to be discounted accordingly.
