3 Ways You Could Save on Real Estate Agent Commission in New Jersey

3 Ways You Could Save on Real Estate Agent Commission in New Jersey

Real estate commissions can represent a substantial transaction cost when buying or selling a home. In this short video, ListOneNJ explains three different approaches New Jersey consumers can consider if reducing real estate agent commission is a priority.

Three Different Ways to Approach Commission Savings

1

List Your Home for 1%

New Jersey sellers do not necessarily have to choose between paying a higher listing commission and selling without professional representation.

ListOneNJ offers a streamlined 1% full-service listing program with MLS exposure, professional marketing, pricing guidance, negotiation and transaction support.

2

Receive a Buyer Commission Rebate

Commission savings aren’t limited to home sellers. Eligible New Jersey homebuyers may also be able to receive a portion of the commission earned by their buyer’s brokerage back at closing.

ListOneNJ’s streamlined buyer representation model can provide eligible buyers with a commission rebate of up to 1% of the purchase price, depending on the compensation received in the transaction.

3

Sell For Sale By Owner

The most direct way to eliminate a listing-agent commission is to skip the listing agent entirely and sell your home as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO).

The tradeoff is that the homeowner assumes responsibility for pricing, marketing, buyer inquiries, showings, negotiations and coordination of the transaction.

Commission Savings Are About More Than the Headline Percentage

A lower commission does not automatically make one approach better than another. Sellers should consider the services provided, marketing exposure, time commitment and expected net proceeds. Buyers should understand how their brokerage is compensated and whether a rebate is available under their representation agreement and transaction terms.
