Strategic Context

THE STRATEGIC VIEW

THE PERSON WHO WANTS IT LESS HAS THE POWER

High-ticket sales ($10k+) are won or lost on status, not features.

The Conflict: You act like a "Vendor" begging for a chance.

The Truth: If you sound desperate, the price drops and the respect vanishes. You are not a supplier; you are a Strategic Advisor.

The Fix: Control the frame. If the client isn't a fit for your elite standards, you should be the one to end the call.

Operational Reality

THE POST-NAR LANDSCAPE (2025)

The NAR settlement has fundamentally "decoupled" real estate commissions. Sellers are no longer required to offer a blanket commission to buyer agents via the MLS. This means every deal now involves two separate negotiations: one for the listing side and one for the buyer side.

THE BUYER REPRESENTATION MANDATE

In 2025, agents must have a signed Buyer Representation Agreement (PAA) before showing properties. This agreement must clearly specify the compensation (fixed fee or %), which cannot be "open-ended." This tool helps you calculate your net take-home pay after factoring in these negotiated splits and your brokerage's "Cap" or desk fees.

TRANSACTION BENCHMARKS (2025)

- Buyer Agent Commission: Increasingly negotiated as a fixed fee or 2-2.5%.

- Seller Concessions: 35% of sellers now offer concessions to cover buyer agent fees.

- Brokerage Caps: Typically range from $16,000 to $25,000 annually.

Tactical FAQ

COMMISSION STRATEGY FAQ

Q: Who pays the buyer agent commission after the NAR settlement?
A: It is no longer "automatic." Buyers either pay their agent directly or negotiate for the Seller to provide a concession at closing. If a seller refuses to contribute, the buyer is legally responsible for the fee specified in their signed representation agreement.
Q: Is the real estate commission split still 50/50?
A: The "Legacy 50/50 Split" is disappearing. While some sellers still offer cooperative compensation, many are opting for "Decoupled Pricing" where they only pay their listing agent, forcing buyer agents to compete on value and price separately.
Q: What is a Buyer Agency Agreement (PAA)?
A: It is a mandatory legal contract that transparently outlines the services an agent will provide and exactly how they will be paid. As of August 2024 (and codified into 2025), you cannot tour a home with a client without this signed document in place.
