How DIY Homebuyers CAN Save the 3% Commission (Despite What Agents Say)
Can DIY homebuyers really save the buyer's agent commission? Some agents claim it's impossible due to listing agreements, but today I'm exposing the truth about how you can leverage that 3% to your advantage - even with cooperative compensation arrangements.
In this video, we're diving deep into the commission structure that agents don't want you to understand, including real examples using a $3M listing in Florida.
What You'll Learn:
- Why listing agents claim DIY buyers can't save commission
- How cooperative compensation really works
- Creative ways to leverage the 3% to your advantage
- Making your offer more competitive without an agent
- Why the DOJ is investigating these arrangements
- How to negotiate credits even with resistant agents
Using real examples, I'll show you how a $700,000 home buyer can leverage $21,000 in commission to their advantage, whether through seller credits or making their offer more attractive to both the listing agent and seller.
Perfect for:
- Self-representing homebuyers facing agent pushback
- Savvy buyers wanting to understand commission structures
- Anyone questioning traditional buyer agency
- Those negotiating without an agent

    Completely agree. going through this as a first time home buyer and I feel like the Buyers Agent is a rip off. I find home on Zillow faster than my agent. And the agent has 'my skills will really shine when it comes to the agreements' but no wonder, why don't I just hire a lawyer for the agreements? 3% commission is standard and home prices have doubled in 4 to 6 years so they must raking it in.

    It may also be worth seeing if the seller will permit an inspection before the offer date. In competitive markets, competing offers can waive more clauses than a reasonable person should, and to enable so called "clean" offers, some sellers permit inspections before the offer review date. It has its own risks like limited time to inspect and think about the results and costing money for a home you may not be able to make a competitive offer for, but its worth considering if the market demands waiving or aggressively tightening the clause.

      The 5% figure was a hypothetical - which I think was pretty clear in the video. What’s ironic about your comment is that my goal is to educate consumers so they can make informed decisions about whether they believe a buyer’s agent is worth hiring or they have the capability to represent themselves.

    • @davideggleston4793

      Given probably 75% are going to be 3% and the few that negotiated tighter would be 2% An agent would already know they are probably leaving 1% on the table if they brokered a 2% selling agreement so they probably would make the same agreement before or after finding the house their buyer wanted. Funny how much less intimidating a realistic hypothetical scenario sounds then what you imagined. Folks use the excuse of hypothetical all the time to present completely unrealistic situations meant to scare uneducated audiences into believing what they are selling

    there will be housing crash and it does tend to be cyclical, about every 18 years on average and the rents tend to go down in a downturn which tey are in many areas in the us, so a downturn is likely coming, how fast? depending on the economy, can take 1 2 3 years who knows or if a ceazy stagflation develops then prices can go to the moon , who knows, nobody, but unsustainable prices cannot go on forever, either prices come down, mortgages go down or incomes spike its a simple math

      Great insights here. Thanks for the comment! Do you think there's a difference between a crash and a correction? In my opinion, a crash is very sudden price reductions of 20%+. While this may happen in some markets, I think the majority of the US will experience more moderate housing price corrections over the next couple years of maybe 10% or so.

    House prices should be stable at the house payment being 30% of the median income. Also, in the purchase price of a rental, the monthly rental should be 1% of of the purchase price. Considering inflation, insurance prices going up 200 to 400% and tax's going up, the 30% of the median income is pushing it.

    Reasons to use a Buyer's agent, assuming Seller is represented by an agent: 1) That $700,000 house will be $700,000 whether the Seller pays commission to a Buyer's agent or not, so no downside, only upside unless you think you are a better negotiator and can get the price down. This is because the contract between Seller and Agent indicates TOTAL COMMISSION paid and permission to SHARE with buyer (aka. cooperating) agent should there be one. Commission paid by Seller DOES NOT CHANGE if the Buyer is unrepresented 2) In some areas it is ILLEGAL, or at minimum frowned upon, for seller's agents to double-end a deal (ie. represent both parties which is what is required should a Buyer approach without an agent) 3) There is information on MLS that is only available to agents and not the general public (ie. offer dates, specific availability for showings, rental history, Condo/HOA fees, etc.) 4) These days automatic lockboxes are used that require subscriptions to third party services that are not available to the general public, only registered agents 5) Theoretically, depending upon the morals, ethics and relationship of the Buyer and their Agent, Agents should be more knowledgeable about properties than the average consumer making what is likely the largest purchase of their lives. Professional agents that honor their fiduciary duties (they are hard to find but do exist) should be more knowledgeable on geographic areas, history of appreciation, liens, zoning, easements, tax issues on the property/Seller (which could be transferred to an unknowing buyer upon closing of the purchase), big ticket items (ex. windows, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, foundation, water/fire damage/mold, septic systems), upcoming changes to local laws/bylaws/zoning, taxes (ex. land transfer, sales taxes if applicable, etc.), insurance, to name only what I can think of off the top of my head Reasons to use a Sellers agent: 1) Buyer's agents are SIGNIFICANTLY more likely to show a property where their commission is guaranteed via a contract between Seller and the Sellers agent 2) Buyer's agents are more likely to think an unrepresented Seller has no idea what they are doing and will try to convince them to accept a low-ball offer That's IT! No other reason to use a seller's agent except that buying agents won't show properties that aren't represented by seller's agents, or if they do it is with the intention of low-balling you. Everything a selling agent does is EASY and CHEAP for the DIYer.

    This occurs because the fed eases while the legislature is also easing. If the feds timed rates properly with the cuts and stopped printing money we would be fine. Probably have a period of deflation which would be painful for a few months but overall be a fever that breaks. The tax cuts have to also have reduced government spending. Th other cause of inflation during cuts its heavy deficit spending during a dip in tax revenue. The issue is all a catch. If taxes drop initially the government will run a huge deficit while revenue picks up from growth. They will overspend and the federal bank will print them out of a deficit. This causes long term inflation from the extra cash. So unless they can really create a huge budget surplus and influence the federal reserve to freeze rates we won't solve anything regardless of who is in charge. The system is stupid. Its designed to permanently enslave the masses into growing the money supply by pinching every ounce the citizens have. And people will claim that every ridiculous system is necessary and im just a dumb person because its designed to be self destructive if it isn't growing. Fiat monetary policy is a tumor that kills you in removal.

  • @mattlippiatt1273
    @mattlippiatt1273 หลายเดือนก่อน

    deficit spending is what is inflationary, not tax cuts. If govt is not overspending and taxing correct amount to cover its debt then there is equilibrium. Yes if more govt spending and tax cuts it's inflationary. If cuts to govt spending and the tax cuts create a surplus and reduction of the money supply you get low to no inflation. Debate can be made if moderate inflation is good or bad even at a 2 percent target. The real thing to look at is buying power vs wages compared to inflation.

  • @claydoub
    @claydoub หลายเดือนก่อน

    Correction on the effect of cutting taxes: All business taxes are off of profit, not revenue, so cutting taxes does not effect prices of most goods (the price determined is the one that maximizes profit, regardless of how much that profit will be taxed). Businesses could use lower tax rates to compensate employees more, but they rarely do. High taxes do extract money out of the economy (typically out of the pockets of the most wealthy that rarely spend money anyways), but large government spending usually re-injects that money into the economy in places that are more needed (e.g. Public services, construction, etc). Trump has promised to reduce government spending which will mean less of that money is injected back in the economy.

    We listed our condo at $40k below what we paid for in 2019 and have had almost Zero activity the past 3 months. Our realtor wants us to drop the price even more but we just don't want to make a bad decision either way. We're in no rush and optimistic that those interest rates will drop and will hopefully get some buyers interested again. We also live in a very liberal, Blue state and predict that a lot of unhappy folks in the Red states will gravitate towards our State which would also cause an increase in the Housing Prices. What are your thoughts? Should we just take it off the market for the Winter and Re List again in February or March?

      Thanks for the question! Like I said in the preface to the video, my crystal ball has been broken for several years now, so don't hold me to predicting the future. With that qualifier in place, if I were in your position, I'd delist and wait for market conditions to improve. Your observation about folks moving out of red states back to blue states is smart. It also doesn't sound like you're desperate - which is awesome for you! The main thing is that you should never let an agent pressure you into selling for less than you feel comfortable with.

It’s not a fair comparison to say going unrepresented in buying a home is the equivalent of going unrepresented in court. But, even if the two were equivalent, it’s still someone’s right to choose to represent themself in court - just as it’s perfectly within ones right to buy a home without an agent. Unfortunately many listing agents fail to recognize this right and do not treat unrepresented buyers fairly.

    I like many of the points you made! Some other points I'd like to add. If immigrants are in fact deported in large numbers, then the homes they currently occupy will also be freed up. A recession is a 70% chance by some estimates. If unemployment goes up and layoffs happen regardless of what Trump does, then foreclosures can start to make an impact on inventory. Demographics are also currently changing, with slower population growth that is yet to be realized.

      I'd be interested to see a study funded by a neutral source supporting your claim. Every DIY homebuyer I've worked with has saved at least $15,000 by representing themself. Most real estate transactions are not nearly as complicated as agents make them sound.

      😂 Sometimes that is the right move. What really matters is what comparable properties in the area have recently sold for and how much competition is in the market at the time you’re making an offer.

    The selling commission is shared with the buyers if sold through different broker. The seller pays the same % either way.

      Thanks for the comment! The cooperative compensation arrangement you’re referring to is going away because it’s unfair to both sellers and buyers. It hasn’t been officially banned by the DOJ yet, but it will be soon. Smart sellers are negotiating a lower commission for just the listing agent and leaving the amount a buyers agent will be paid TBD.

      @@DIYHomebuyer thanks for the info. I don't see the unfairness. When buying I like to keep one agent as I search around. It seems fair to the seller's agent as it helps move the property faster with less work. It's been some years now since I bought.

    Can't be more than $2000 worth of value, ever. Think of it as hourly rate of work.

      What do you think a reasonable hourly rate is?

    Is any of this stuff gunna matter in a couple years anymore? I'm guessing not.

      Depends on what you mean by 'matter.' A new normal will be established. Real estate transactions and agency relationships certainly won't go back to the way they were before August 17, 2024. If anything, there will be more lawsuits that accelerate change.

      Thanks, Brian! Glad you enjoyed it! That's awesome you're in the industry! Do you purchase your investment properties with or without the help of a buyer's agent?
