For Buyers
Eligible buyers may receive a credit equal to 0.5% of the purchase price at settlement, subject to lender approval.
The credit may be applied toward allowable closing costs, prepaid expenses, or other lender-approved costs.
| Home Purchase Price | 0.5% Buyer Credit |
|---|---|
| $500,000 | $2,500 |
| $700,000 | $3,500 |
| $900,000 | $4,500 |
Your eligible buyer credit is calculated at 0.5% of the purchase price.
For Sellers
Instead of paying the traditional 2.5% to 3% listing fee, sellers can save 0.5% with my reduced 2% listing fee, plus a $395 broker fee.
The 0.5% savings is based on the listing fee only and does not include buyer-agent compensation or other closing costs.
| Home Sale Price | 3% Listing Fee | My 2% Listing Fee | 0.5% Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| $500,000 | $15,000 | $10,000 | $2,500 |
| $700,000 | $21,000 | $14,000 | $3,500 |
| $900,000 | $27,000 | $18,000 | $4,500 |
The examples compare a 3% listing fee with my reduced 2% listing fee. Buyer-agent compensation is negotiated separately and is not included in these examples.
