I know the company you’re speaking of and the agent in fact. They are the only brokerage in NJ that I know of that offers buyers rebates and yes they do in fact list homes for 3% total. They pay out 2% and they only take 1%. I think youd be interested in seeing what their sales to list price ratios are as looking at the data now in brokermetrics that “saving” of 2% equates to a loss of at least 5% net overall and in some towns (granted small sample size for them in these towns im looking at) upwards of 20% for comparable (im comparing a home they sold vs one that is 4 house down and sold within 6 weeks of one another)So the wifey and I went to a new construction open house in Chatham. The listing agent was there and said their listing fee is 1% instead of 2.5% and he said if we purchased the house we saw and listed our current home with his agency they would give $5,000 towards our closing.
So fee compression is coming!
the issue is, the data i have access via broker metrics, the public doesnt so people like you (and not saying youre stupid just rather that you dont have the data) are easily mislead to think theyre “saving” 2% when reality is youre losing money
