1% Commission - You Get What You Pay For in Sudbury, Ontario for sale

So an Agent Offered You a Low Real Estate Commission to Sell Your Home?
Does it make sense to pay a full commission to your real estate agent in today's market? Sellers, buyers and even agents are debating what should be charged to assist a consumer in completing a real estate transaction. Forget what the actual amount of the commission is. The bigger question is whether you should pay a 'full fee' when hiring a real estate expert to guide you through the complexities of today's rapidly changing housing environment.
You need an experienced guide if you are traveling a dangerous path
The field of real estate is loaded with land mines. Experts in any profession do not discount their fees; especially when the job is becoming much more difficult. If an agent discounts his or her commission, then they need to do more deals to earn their living. More deals mean less time and attention for each seller or buyer depending on their role. Real estate contracts are complex and you need an experienced agent who has the time for you and your contract.
You need a skilled negotiator
In today's market, hiring a talented negotiator could save you thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of dollars. Each step of the way -- from the original offer, to the possible re-negotiation of that offer after a home inspection, to the possible cancellation of the deal based on a troubled appraisal -- you need someone who can keep the deal together until it closes.
When an agent is negotiating their commission with you, they are negotiating their own salary -- the salary that keeps a roof over their family's head; the salary that puts food on their family's table. If they are quick to take less when negotiating for themselves and their families, what makes you think they will not act the same way when negotiating for you and your family?
Bottom Line
I believe that famous sayings become famous because they are true. You get what you pay for. Just like a good accountant or a good attorney, a good agent will save you money. . .. not cost you money.
