BUYING

How does it work?
It is simple: With me, it's like getting free money! When you are buying a home, the seller has already committed to pay the buyer's agent a commission, usually 3%. So, if you use me, I will give you 1/2 of that. Basically, it's free money for you.

How much will you get?
You will get 1/2 my broker commission. For example, a home selling for $300,000 will usually pay each agent (a listing and buying agent) 3%, which is $9000 each! So with me, I will give you $4500 of that. With the other agents, you get nothing.

How can you use this money?
You will usually use it for your down payment or to help cover your closing costs. Sometimes you can use it for new furniture, appliances, or even take the cash at closing. Lenders have certian rules that dictate how you can use the money.

Why am I offering this?
Because the MLS is available to the public now, about 80% of home buyers are doing their own research and searching themselves for their new home. So the agents are doing very little work and get huge commissions for it. I know of many agents that are making over $100,000 in commissions for one sale! That is just not right in my book. Also, many of you want to be left alone and don't want to involve an agent until you have to. I will help you as little or as much as you want, without annoying you.

Is there a catch? Yes, 3 small things.

• I would like you to get pre-qualified.
• Before we set up appointments to see inside homes, I would ask you to drive by them first, to see if you like the house and neighborhood. This is so we both don't waste our time seeing homes you don't want.
• Because my fees are already so low, at half price, I do have a minimum fee of $3000. So on homes less than $200,000 you will get back less than half the commission. For example, $150k home = $4500 commission...$3000 to me, $1500 to you.
