Getting Paid as a Buyer's Agent - EP 289 - Real Facts on Real Estate

  • Summary

  • In this week's episode we talk all about getting paid in real estate. With The NAR Settlement now in place many buyer's agents are still confused on how they get paid. Each transaction is going to need to be looked at to figure out if there will be a seller's commission directly, cooperating compensation, or the buyer paying directly. That means now more than ever we need to understand the process.

    Understand the dos and don'ts makes all the difference. With the buyer paying directly, many agents have asked if it can be wrapped into the loan using the seller's concession. The answer is no, but seller's concession can be used to pay other closing costs and prepaids clearing up cash flow to pay commissions. Speaking with a lender is always a great idea.

    As a standard it is always important to work under contract. Before ever showing homes it is important that your client understands the commissions and any amount they could be subject to paying. Negotiating the commissions via the contract to purchase will more than likely be the way the commission is handled most times. Learn to do all this and you are going to be successful as a buyer's agent from here forward.
