ok, so are they going to charge 8% instead?


Let’s say they switch to a flat rate.

15k per transaction.

On a 100k house, that is 15%.

On a 200k house, that is 7.5%

Or they could do like most every countries and charge an hourly rate for their services depending on how much you use them.

Good thing houses aren’t selling for the prices in your made up scenario.

It'll more likely be a staggered commission. When I sold my condo about 10 years ago, the realtor agreed to 6% on the 1st $100k and 4% after. Market value was $135k, we sold for $120k.

I thought it was strange the percentages weren't flipped to incentivize her to try to get a higher price, but this is what I envision their commission rates moving to.

That's ridiculous. I've sold two homes and bought two others all without any realtor. It's not that difficult and certainly not worth 15k.

Why do you feel $15k is reasonable renumeration to sell a $200k house?
