The 2% Solution. We take All the Risk but Still Offer You a Reward
Real estate traditionally has been sold with the agent only getting paid when a property closes. This presents the highest payment risk to the agent as time spent with clients who do not close is not compensated to the agent and is one reason real estate commission rates typically range around 6% of the purchase price for the combined listing and selling commission. We will work as your buyer agent with no retainer or guaranteed payment and rebate any buyer agent commission that exceeds 2% of the purchase price. Buyer agent commissions in this area typically range from 2.4 to 3%

Rebates must be handled in a way acceptable to NC Real Estate Commission. This means that they must show up on the closing statement and be approved by the lender providing the mortgage, if there is one. Alternate ways of handling the rebate will be agreed upon by Goddin Real Estate and the buyer if the lender will not allow it on the closing statement.
Buyer and agent will agree on how to handle commission rebates on for sale by owner properties offering buyer agent commissions. No rebate will be offered on properties in which there is no buyer agency commission offered.
