Let’s Talk About That Commission Myth…
This one gets whispered at kitchen tables across America:
“Realtors just want you to pay more so they can make a bigger commission.”
So let’s break this ALL the way down.
If a house is $200,000…
My side of the commission at 3% is:
➡️ $6,000
If you pay $210,000 instead?
➡️ My commission goes up by $300.
That’s it.
Three. Hundred. Dollars.
And after:
• taxes
• fees
• brokerage split
• MLS dues
• gas
• printing
• staging help
• lockboxes
• photography
• continuing education
• insurance
…I’m seeing even LESS.
Do you really think I’m going to risk:
• my license
• my career
• my reputation
• my future business
• my client relationships
…for $300?
Absolutely not. No ethical agent is.
Real estate agents don’t get paid weekly or biweekly.
We get paid in chunks, and sometimes we go:
• 45 days
• 60 days
• 90 days
…between closings.
So yes — the checks may look big, but they’re spread across months of work, bills, overhead, and unpredictable income.
I don’t push my clients to pay more.
I push my clients to make smart decisions.
Because:
• You’re the one living in the home.
• You’re the one making the payments.
• You’re the one reselling later.
• You’re the one building wealth.
I don’t make decisions for your benefit today.
I make decisions for your future.
If you’re buying with me, here’s the truth:
I want you to get the right house at the right price.
Not because of my commission…
But because I actually care about your long-term success.
Period.
