The process is simple. The first step is to call or email our office and provide us with some basic information so we can determine which plan works best for your individual situation. As a buyer, most sellers have agreed to compensate any broker who represents you a certain percentage of the purchase price as commission. Here, at Flat Fee, we have already determined what we will charge you for our services meaning any difference is credited to you in one of many different ways. The credit could be used for paying closing costs, renovations on your new house such as a new roof, kitchen counters, or upgraded appliances. Or, if you prefer, WE WILL SIMPLY PROVIDE YOU WITH A REBATE CHECK….YOU DECIDE! Please see the example below where we assume a 3% commission to be paid to the buyer’s broker for representing you:
| Traditional Broker | Flat Fee Realty | |
| Sales Price of House | $300,000 | $300,000 |
| Commission Paid to Broker by Seller | $9,000 | $9,000 |
| Fees Assessed to Buyer by Broker | $9,000 | $2,500 (Bronze Package) |
| Buyer Credit from Broker | $ ZERO | $6,500 |
What would you do with an extra $6,500 if you were the buyer in the example? Perhaps spend it at the local home improvement store, take a well deserved vacation, buy a top of the line television, or donate it to your favorite charity. We contend all of those are better options than paying your broker more for doing the same amount of work as Flat Fee!! After all, it is your money!! Shouldn’t you decide how to best spend it?
