How Realtors Get Paid
Realtors typically earn a commission, which is a percentage of the sale price of the property. This commission is usually paid by the seller and is shared between the buyer’s and seller’s agents.
BROKERAGE COMPENSATIONS ARE NOT SET BY LAW AND ARE FULLY NEGOTIABLE
​
-
Seller's Agent: When a property is sold, the seller's agent typically receives a commission for marketing and selling the property. This includes creating listing materials, hosting open houses, and negotiating offers.
​
-
Buyer's Agent: The buyer's agent receives compensation for helping the buyer find and purchase a home. This includes conducting property searches, arranging viewings, and guiding buyers through the purchasing process. This compensation is usually paid by the seller but can also be paid by the buyer. If you are a buyer, be prepared to sign a Buyer Brokerage Agreement. Click here to read more about this agreement.
​

Transparent Process: We believe in transparency and will always explain our fees and commissions upfront so you know exactly what to expect. Our goal is to provide you with exceptional service and value for your investment. Click here to learn more about Commissions.

How Prequalification for Mortgage Works
Getting prequalified for a mortgage is a crucial step in the home-buying process.
​​
-
Initial Assessment: You provide us with basic information about your income, assets, and debts. This initial assessment helps us understand your financial situation and determine how much you can afford to borrow.
​
-
​Credit Check: We’ll run a credit check to assess your creditworthiness. A good credit score can help you qualify for better loan terms and interest rates. We can also provide advice on improving your credit score if needed.​
​
-
Prequalification Letter: Based on the assessment, you’ll receive a prequalification letter stating the loan amount you qualify for. This letter shows sellers that you are a serious and qualified buyer, which can strengthen your offer and improve your chances of securing the property you want.
​
-
​Next Steps: Once you're prequalified, we can start looking at homes within your budget. When you find the right one, we’ll help you complete the mortgage application process, gather the necessary documentation, and work with lenders to secure your loan.
