1 You Don’t Have to Pay 6%
Commission to Sell Your Home, Ever
Selling a home is much easier to do today and smart
real estate agents pass that savings on to the home
seller.
There are discount agents, flat-fee agents and fee-for-
service agents, who only charge you for what you need.
All of them will save you money compared to 6%. You
should not be afraid to use them.
2 Selling Your Home Yourself Doesn’t
Save You That Much Money
It’s easy to find a listing agent to help you sell your home
for a few thousand dollars today. BUT, you’re still expected
to pay the full 3% commission to your buyer’s agent.
Even if you sell your own home and save those few
thousand dollars, you won’t save serious money until you
learn to pay less (or nothing) to the buyer’s agent.
3 You Don’t Have to Pay For the
Buyer’s Agent
In the US and Canada, it is customary for the seller to
pay for the buyer’s agent, but it’s not mandatory.
You’re not obligated to pay for the buyer’s agent, and if
you do, you certainly don’t need to pay them the full
3% commission they desire. You can offer to pay
anything you want, even as little as a few thousand
dollars.
4 Buyer Steering is Real
If you do offer less than the customary commission to
buyers' agents, those agents will work like hell to keep
their buyers away from your home until you raise their fee
back up to the acceptable amount.
While this extortion, known as buyer steering, is a
violation of the realtor code of ethics, it is very real* and
you must have a strategy to combat it.

5 “You Get What You Pay For” is a Lie
Whenever you attempt to negotiate lower realtor
commission, traditional real estate agents will try to
scare you by reminding you that “you get what you pay
for.”
Research* conducted by Consumer Reports found...
Sellers who paid 3% were just as satisfied as those
who paid 6%.
Paying less did not hurt the quality of service.
Those who paid 6% were more likely to have regrets
about the selling process.
