How My Reasonable Buyer's Agent Fee Will Help You Succeed
Beyond the skill of an experienced and creative agent guiding the way, a buyer’s agent fee is an important aspect of the home buying process and will impact your purchase.
As Lynchburg’s Flat Fee Realtor, I’ve saved sellers over $225,000 in the last 3 years. Now, I’m bringing that same savings model to the buyer side with a flat $3000 + 1% buyer agency fee—which is often much lower than the 2.5-3% most agents charge.
This lower fee provides three distinct benefits to my clients:
Potential Credit at Closing
In some cases, a seller may be willing to pay a buyer's agent more than my fee. This would mean I am able to credit my buyers the difference between what the seller is willing to pay and my fee at closing. The amount I have credited back to buyers grows every month!
More Competitive Offer
Buyer's agent compensation is now a term of the purchase agreement when agents and buyers submit offers on properties. Sellers will be consider the amount of compensation asked for among other terms of the agreement, meaning that the amount asked for could impact the seller's decision to accept your offer.
Especially in a multiple offer situation, a lower buyer's agent fee will make your offer more attractive to sellers, increasing the chances your offer is accepted.

More Affordable Fee
In the rare case that we cannot negotiate that the seller cover my fee as your buyer's agent, it's important that the fee you do pay is reasonable for the work provided, and something that doesn't break the bank.
My fee is meant to be reasonable for the work and expertise provided throughout the transaction. A fee I can feel good about charging, and an amount my buyers can be comfortable paying if necessary.

Steps in the Home Buying Process
To reach the closing date on your new house, several important steps of preparation need to occur. Before even talking to an agent, it is valuable to have a sense of your financial situation and begin talking with mortgage lenders (if needed).
Below are helpful steps to follow in the home buying process.
Focus on Your Finances
Assessing your financial situation is the first step in buying a home. Take time to analyze your savings for a downpayment, your credit score, and begin to determine what you can afford and want to spend.
Talk With a Mortgage Lender
Before viewing homes with your real estate agent, it is ideal to ensure you can afford the homes you are looking at. Talking with a mortgage lender and prequalifying for a loan are essential to making a quick and competitive offer on a home.
