No. Then why do we pay them all the same?
Well, I guess we don’t. Your buyers agent in the Denver-Boulder Metro Area typically makes 2.8% of the purchase price of the home. In Colorado Springs, and many other areas working off the traditional 6% commission, the real estate agent working with the buyer gets 3% of the purchase price.
Anyway, there is much to be improved with the way real estate agents are compensated, but it seems like trying to turn a ship with a kayak paddle. OK by me, I’ll just keep offering my commission rebates….they make sense and are a great fit for many of today’s Colorado home buyers!
