Understanding Real Estate Commissions, Who Pays What, and Why It Matters
Let’s break down how traditional real estate commission works:
💡 The commission is built into the price of the home paid by the seller but funded by you, the buyer.
Now imagine getting a large portion of your buyer agent's commission back. That’s the power of a real estate commission rebate and why buyers are turning to discount real estate services.
Who Is a Discount Realtor?
A discount realtor is a licensed real estate agent or brokerage that offers reduced commission fees or rebates to buyers (or sellers), without cutting corners on service. These agents operate efficiently by:
- Using modern tools to reduce overhead
- Streamlining paperwork and communication
- Eliminating bloated brokerage costs
- Focusing on volume and tech-driven deals
Unlike traditional models, a discount real estate agent keeps operations lean and passes the savings to the buyer through cashback on home purchase offers.
