In reality, you just might. You read that correctly, you might want to pay more to sell your home than to pay less in agent commissions. But that's going to take a bit of explanation.
First, a buyer does not pay his agent a commission to help find, negotiate and maneuver through the homebuyer process. A buyer's agent gets paid through funds provided by the seller. And if a listing agent's commission is based upon a percentage of the sales price of the home, why in the world would a seller want to pay an agent seven percent when other agents will list the home for five, three or even one percent?
Let's look back at how the buyer's agent gets paid. The buyer's agent gets paid from the commissions paid by the seller. Say a home is listed at $300,000 and the seller agrees to pay an agent four percent as a commission. The buyer's agent will typically split that four percent with the listing agent, with both agents getting $6,000 each.
Now let's look at the dynamics of a listing agreement where the seller of a home is paying a seven percent commission, or $21,000 for agents to split.
If you're a seller, don't you want to show your home to as many people as possible in the shortest period of time? Of course. That's one of the reasons to use an agent. But now look at it from a buyer's agent's perspective.
If a buyer's agent sees that the seller is paying $10,500 for the same house instead of a $6,000 commission, do you think your home might get more visits? Of course. And if you get more visits do you think you're likely to hold firm on your list price compared to having fewer buyers stop by your listing? Yes.
This concept wont' work in all instances and it may not work in yours but it's something to consider. If you want more visitors and more showings, then pay ทาวน์เฮ้าส์มือสอง ราคาถูก more. Run the math with your agent. It might be a good move.
