My blog about real estate commission
For one flat rate, you will receive assistance in contract negotiations and preparation, follow up with the buyer on mortgage qualification, provide all necessary disclosures to the buyer, open escrow, arrange for inspections and advise on pre closing repair requests. Hourly consulting services are also available. Buyers can also reap benefits from a la carte real estate services. You, as buyer, may even qualify for a 25 percent refund on the buying broker commission provided you commit to a minimum 30 day agreement with the a la carte real estate service. This agreement entitles you to broker services in locating potential homes, a market analysis to determine the best offer price, assistance with contract negotiations, help in securing the most suitable mortgage and representation of your interests at the final property walk through prior to closing.
