Does it cost the homebuyer more to be represented by a buyer's agent who serves their interests exclusively? No, because the listing agent splits the sales commission, which is customarily paid by the seller of the home, with the buyer's agent. The sales commission split is usually 50-50, but the listing agent and buyer's agent will sometimes make another agreement and split the commission unequally.

There is one very unusual circumstance in which the homebuyer might pay a commission to their buyer's agent. The real estate agent might show the buyer a local "for sale by owner" (FSBO) home which the client decides to purchase. In most cases, the FSBO seller who is presented with a qualified buyer is glad to pay the buyer's agent a reduced fee of about 3 percent, or half of a normal sales commission. But the FSBO seller could stubbornly refuse to pay the buyer's agent any commission whatsoever. In that case, the buyer's agent would legitimately expect the buyer to pay the sales commission, in fair exchange for the agent finding the FSBO home and negotiating a successful transaction.

We got into real estate because we realized that there had to be a better way to serve people trying to sell or buy a home… and decided to do something about it. We act more as a 'consultant', not just as an 'agent'. Having spent years in consultative roles dealing with executives and business owners throughout the world, we felt it really was a matter of applying the consultants' perspective in a different (and better) way than most other practitioners in the field. We know exemplary service and we know how to deliver it. Our goal is to fulfill needs and exceed expectations- every time. We LISTEN to our clients, to understand your needs and desires and to better implement the right strategy to meet your goals. We try to minimize your risks and protect your interests as we pilot you through what can be a complex and frustrating process. Seth and his team really know what is important when working with a real estate professional. So, when you work with SF Realty Partners… YOU Make the Smart Move! Please don't keep us a secret!
