Just find out who the homeowner is by getting the address and looking them up in the countys clerk office and letting them know that your willing to buy the house without a realtor and hiring a lawyer way cheaper, just tell the lawyer you want a flat fee

The fees charged are way out of line for the work done. That is why there are so many agents out their, easy quick money.

@benvigilrepro 3 ай бұрын

I agree that the fees may be out of whack but no way is the money quick and easy. I tell new agents and loan officers to not expect to make any money for about 90 days to 6 months. Most don't even close a single transaction...ever.

Realtors always say this was always negotiable but they didn't tell that to anyone before, it was their secret so it wasn't really negotiable if none knew

If a realtor thinks I am forced to look at a house they are dreaming. I will call the listing agent and see it that way. If they say I can't see it, I am going to contact the owner directly and let them know their selling agent isn't willing to show the house, in a slow market, that seller is going to be looking at the listing contract and dump that agent.

I think that it is sad that some of the crappiest homes are well over $500k, I own my home, and don’t plan on buying or selling for a long time. This is just pure greed on the part of everyone. The younger buyer will probably never be able to afford to purchase a home with the rate of the increases in home prices. That is sad, because most people would be happy with a modest home, but might never own one.

Go out and get a real estate license and be your own agent. It will be cheaper than paying the commission on a high-dollar home.

If you are going to buy a property yourself, you don't need a real estate license. It certainly wouldn't hurt but it would probably be a waste of time and money.

@@jimdandy8996 Getting a real estate license won't help with any of that. The courses required to get a real estate license are generally more on real estate law and ethics. There is very little on the actual process of purchasing a home. A new real estate licensee will not be equipped to help a client navigate a real estate transaction on their own. They would rely on their supervising broker or be paired up with a more experienced agent. Then there is the potential legal liability by being a licensee. If you are intending to only represent yourself on a single transaction, it would be a waste of time and money. The good news is that much of the information you need is available free of charge. Most escrow and title companies would be happy to guide you through the process. Loan officers would also help you with the financing for no upfront charge. There are attorneys and legal services available to assist you with contracts and disclosures that will charge a very reasonable fee. Probably less than what it would costs you to get a real estate license.

The truth comes at @5:29. This is about banks not fronting/financing the buyer's commission. Why? Because prices are super inflated (as everyone in the comments recognizes) and eventually, the banks will be the seller and don't want to pay for the buyer's agent. So buyers will pay out of pocket rather than financed money for their agents, lose their homes to foreclosure, then the banks will sell the deflated property (through an agent they negotiated to take 1% or be on salary) while the buyer's agent will negotiate 2-3% from the buyer. It's almost like they know who the primary sellers will be soon. . .

They should just have lawyers handling this. No agents you don’t even have to have a degree to make absurd amt of money. Should just have 1% to seller and 1% on buyer or set amt or seller

You do NOT have to have an agreement with a buyers agent to view a property. A buyer can look at a property completely on their own and engage with a listing agent directly. Personally, I don't recommend it but you can do it.

@Caitlin. How should a seller react if the listing agent asks you how much are you willing to commit to paying the buyer agent?

@yourphoenixrealestateagent 4 ай бұрын

I suggest you look at what your net proceeds will be at various price points with/without buyer compensation. If there is a certain amount you need to net, you can adjust the buyer compensation to ensure you hit that number. Alternatively, you could state you're not willing to offer anything at the start. If the amount of showings/traffic is low at the start of the listing, you can adjust and have your agent share that you are offering an incentive to the buyer's agent.

IMO, this all came about due to greed on the part of RE agents in general, intentionally pushing buyers to homes they knew they would receive more commission. The 6% guideline (3 for the seller, 3 for the buyer) worked when homes were reasonable and paying over asking was simply unheard of for normal homes. $150,000 house ($4500 each for the agents) 20 years ago is now $600k in today's market ($18k for each agent), and until recently people are throwing money on top to make sure they get it ($650k for sake of argument). And perhaps more importantly the house sells in days not weeks or months. Agent only needs to be involved in the sale of a few houses like this per year to make a nice annual living. Not sure what they would do with the other 10 months.

@17:15. If the Demand Index is 73.6, shouldn't the needle be pointing in the the red??? If supply is restricted (73.7 so good in theory for sellers), and demand is also low (73.6) the market is "balanced". But in reality there are fewer homes AND fewer buyers than history would suggest is normal. Not sure this represents a robust market. If you only had one house for sale in a town in theory the seller could charge whatever they want. But if you also only have one buyer, the market is "balanced". In reality it is severely depressed.

It was never negotiable. If you didn't offer a high enough buyer agent commission, no one would show your house.

So glad the NAR settlement is now in play. Realty is now like every other industry: You pay for your own service, not for somebody else's.

@sburns2421 4 ай бұрын

Not sure it completely translates to any other industry. In the end I think this will put pressure on prices. Buyers paying their agent represents more out of pocket for them. Effectively the down payment budget just went to 23% from 20% if the old 3% guideline is used. Maybe they already do this, but waiting for RE agents to have a new business model where they weed out the tire kickers and have a lower percentage fee upon closing. Make up the income in volume.

In Kansas, back in the 2000’s the Buyer’s Agent was always paid by the buyer to the buyer’s agent or accepted the amount that the seller was offering the buyer’s side. There was never an issue. Homes were selling consistently for over $300k at that time. So if your buyer’s agent wanted more, then they received it from the buyer..make more sense to me…the buyers today think the seller should pay for everything including their down payment…sheesh!
