My Approach: Transparent, Flat‑Fee Buyer Representation
I use a predictable structure that keeps you competitive and maximizes savings:
- $4,000 flat fee + 1% of the purchase price
- When we write your offer, I negotiate for the seller to pay as much buyer‑agent compensation as possible in the contract, typically 2.5-3% of the sales price.
- Because my fee is capped, any surplus is rebated back to you at closing.
Example: On a $500,000 home with 3% negotiated, the contract sets aside $15,000. My fee is $9,000 ($4,000 + 1%), so you receive a $6,000 rebate at closing.
