FAQs

How can you offer this for $5,999?

We've been helping buyers, sellers and investors for over two decades (yeah, that’s a long time!). Our process is streamlined and super efficient. Since you're handling the most time-consuming part—seeing houses on your own—we can pass the savings directly to you, all without compromising on service.

Do you really get what you pay for?

Sometimes, yes. But in this case, you're not paying for anything extra. We’ve streamlined the back-end process so well that we can pass those savings on to you. We’re still your biggest advocate, fighting for you every step of the way. We negotiate before and throughout the entire escrow process, all the way until closing. No pressure—if the deal doesn’t make sense or you can’t get what you need, we’ll help you move on to the next one.

Some say, "If they won't fight for their own money, why would they fight for yours?"

We've redefined how real estate is done and are passing those savings on to you. If we can do all the work for less, why wouldn't we pass those savings on? It’s a win-win—keep your money! (KeepYOUR3!)

The other agent told me not to worry about anything and that they’ll ask the seller to cover the costs.

Maybe, but here are the possible scenarios. Let’s assume the agent has written “3%” (on the buyer broker's agreement) as their fee to represent you. For an $800K purchase, 3% is $24,000.

Seller covers the full amount:

You can ask the seller to cover the full $24K. This amount will be deducted from the seller’s proceeds. Whether the seller agrees depends on the pricing—specifically, whether the home is priced at, below, or above market value.

Seller splits the cost with YOU:

The seller agrees to split the $24K, meaning both the seller and you pay $12K each to cover your agent's commision.

Seller refuses to pay:

If the seller says, "No, I’m not paying anything," here's what can happen:

a) You may need to add the $24K to the purchase price ($800K + $24K = $824K). If the home is already priced at or above market, it might not appraise at $824K. If it doesn’t appraise, you’ve already spent time and money on inspections and appraisals, only to have the deal possibly fall apart.

b) If the value supports the extra $24K, you’ll need to consider how much it will cost to finance that amount of your agent's commission over the time you plan to stay in the home.

Pay only $5,999 for full representation:

Why pay 3% when you can get full representation for $5,999? Even better, we can still ask the seller for the 3% credit ($24K - $5,999 = $18,001). You can use that leftover money for closing costs or to buy down your interest rate, as permitted by your lender. If the seller won’t cover the full amount, you’ll still save a significant chunk of money by only paying $5,999 instead of $24K.

Some say, "They’re a discount broker! Don’t use them!"

We hear this concern a lot. People say, "You get what you pay for," but should we tell that to Uber, Walmart, Tesla, or Costco—brands that save people tons of money? Technology has changed every industry, so why not real estate? Flat-fee firms are the future, whether traditional agents like it or not. We’re proud to be innovators in real estate. We’re full members of local REALTOR® Association boards(members to more than one), the California Association of REALTORS®, and the National Association of REALTORS®. We even sit on the local ethics committee and carry full Errors and Omissions insurance. Call us today, let's talk about YOUR Goals!!!

You’ll sacrifice service for savings.

The truth is, it takes teamwork. You help by touring homes on your own schedule—that’s where a lot of the savings comes from. Once you’ve found a home, we step in at offer time. This is how we’re able to pass those cost savings on to you without sacrificing service. Pay them or save the money for yourself?

Can I still get this credit if I'm already working with another agent?

It depends on whether your current agent is willing to match that offer. We respect all working relationships and won’t interfere with any arrangement you have in place. However, once that agreement ends, you're free to explore other options. Please note that this program cannot be combined with any other promotions we may be running, as we're always offering incentives to both sides—but unfortunately, we can only apply one discount at a time.
