FAQs

💬 How can you offer this for just $5,999*?

We've been helping buyers, sellers, and investors for over 20 years. Our systems are streamlined and efficient. Since you're already doing the most time-consuming part—finding and touring homes yourself—we can pass those savings on to you. You still get full service when it matters most.

💬 Do I really get what I pay for?

Sometimes that’s true. But in this case, you’re not paying for what you don’t need. We’ve cut out the fluff, not the value. We’re with you every step of the way—writing offers, negotiating terms, handling escrow, and protecting your interests. If a deal doesn’t make sense, we’ll help you walk away. No pressure.

💬 "If they won’t fight for their own money, why would they fight for mine?"

Because we already did. We’ve restructured the model to save you money—on purpose. That means we don’t have to fight for our commission—we fight to get you the best possible deal. It’s a win-win: you get expert guidance and keep more of your money.

💬 The other agent said, “Don’t worry, I’ll get the seller to pay.”

Maybe they will—but here’s the truth:

The buyer brings the money to the table.

If the seller is paying it, it’s usually already built into the price.

So the real question becomes…

If That Money Is Already in the Deal…

Why Not Use It to Help YOU?

That’s the idea behind KeepYOUR3.

Instead of paying a traditional buyer’s agent 2.5%–3% of the purchase price, KeepYOUR3 uses a flat-fee model — and structures the difference to benefit the buyer.

👉 Same full representation
👉 Same protection
👉 Same advocacy

Just far less money wasted.

If the seller agrees to 3% ($24,000 on an $800K home), that cost comes out of their proceeds. Whether they’ll agree depends on the price and market conditions.

• If the seller splits it, you may be responsible for half the fee ($12,000).

• If the seller says no, you might need to add the full amount to the purchase price ($800K + $24K = $824K). If the home doesn’t appraise, the deal could fall apart—and you'll still have paid for inspections, appraisal, etc.

• Even if it does appraise, you’ll be financing your agent’s commission over the next 15–30 years.

With KeepYOUR3, you pay a flat fee of $5,999*—and if the seller is willing to offer a credit, you get the difference back. On a 3% commission, that’s an extra $18,001 back to you. You can use it toward closing costs, repairs, or buying down your interest rate.

💬 “They’re discount brokers. Don’t use them.”

We hear that a lot—and here’s our response:
Costco, Uber, Tesla, and Walmart all disrupted industries and saved people money without lowering quality.

We offer a Flat Fee. No Games. No Hidden Charges.

Traditional agents often stack fees:

• Transaction fees

• Coordinator fees

• Administrative fees

• Percentage-based commissions that grow as prices rise

With KeepYOUR3, it’s simple and transparent:

One flat fee. Full representation. No surprises.

You always know exactly what you’re paying — and just as important, what you’re not overpaying. Real estate shouldn’t be confusing or outdated. It should make sense.

We’re proud to offer a smarter, more affordable way to buy. We’re full members of multiple local REALTOR® boards, the California Association of REALTORS®, and the National Association of REALTORS®. We also serve on local ethics committees and carry full Errors and Omissions insurance.

This isn’t a gimmick.

It’s simply a better, more modern way to buy a home.

💬 Will I sacrifice service for savings?

Not at all. You help by touring homes on your own time. Once you’ve found the one, we step in and take care of everything that matters: the offer, negotiations, paperwork, timelines, and protecting your deposit.
You keep the savings—we handle the rest.

Here's what we will handle for you:

• Help secure the best possible loan terms and structure

• Guide you step-by-step through the entire buying process

• Analyze local market conditions and pricing trends

• Develop a winning home-search strategy

• Research properties and uncover insights other buyers miss

• Communicate directly with listing agents to gather key intel

• Structure smart, competitive offers that stand out

• Protect your earnest money deposit

• Coordinate inspections and timelines

• Negotiate repairs, credits, and concessions

• Manage the transaction through escrow and closing💬 Can I still get this credit if I’m already working with an agent?

Think of us as your advocate, strategist, and protector

💬 Can I still get this credit if I’m already working with an agent?

If you’ve signed an agreement with another agent, we respect that. We won’t interfere. However, if that agreement ends, you’re free to explore other options—including our program.

Note: Our rebates and incentives can’t be stacked with other offers—we run multiple promotions throughout the year, but only one discount can be applied per transaction.

🏡 Program applies to homes priced between $300K and $800K.

Buying above $800K? Let’s talk.
You’ll still save thousands—it’s absolutely worth the conversation.
