- Save $16,000 on a $600,000 property
If your purchase agreement/offer is presented without using our service on a listed property, the seller will have to pay 2-3% on the buyer’s behalf. With our service, the seller will pay nothing on the buyer’s behalf. With our service, you can offer 2-3% less and the seller will receive the same amount.
Until 2024 with the landmark National Association of Realtors MLS Settlement, this kind of savings wasn’t possible. Now, buyers have control and can reduce the commission costs in a transaction to a reasonable amount for only services they actually use, rather than 2-3% like in the past. Please note, in some cases, a credit to the buyer may be necessary to achieve the savings.
Right now we are in multiple states and growing quickly. Please let us know your zip code and we can tell you current availability if we are not currently in your area, when we expect to be.
Please let us know your zip code by clicking on the Sign Up button. We will then confirm service availability, then email you asking to complete our simple questionnaire of the property details and what you would like to offer. Rush service is available-let us know. Once you have provided the transaction details and any questions you need answers for, we will send you a payment request. We accept many electronic payment methods including PayPal, which enables payment by credit cards, ach, or electronic payment from a bank account.
Depending on availablily, you may be able to have your purchase agreement ready within 60-90 minutes. Please note that timeframe assumes staff availability and no other customer backlog.
The National Association of Realtors settled a multi-billion dollar lawsuit by agreeing to pay a large fine and change the rules about how agents are paid. Those rule changes take effect in August 2024.
The rule changes give informed buyers, who use services like BuySelf, the chance to control and only pay for the services they use. Buyers who don’t closely read their purchase agreement, commissions will likely stay the same: Sellers will price their homes 2-3% higher to cover the costs that must be paid for the agent assisting the buyer agent (even if the listing agent helps the buyer, and the buyer didn’t get their own agent).
Informed buyers who use the BuySelf service to buy can offer 2-3% less than other buyers, and the seller will still receive the same net amount. “Many economists argue that buyers do pay for commissions because they’re baked into the home’s selling price. But since the money isn’t directly coming out of their pockets, buyers have long been blissfully unaware of commissions, with some believing agent services are free.” BuySelf’s service enables buyers to take control and save money when they buy.

No, you won’t get the same savings BuySelf provides by going to the listing agent directly. Even if the listing agent wanted to reduce/negotiate their commission (and they don’t), their Broker would not allow it. The standard listing agreement that sellers have already signed also makes such a change nearly impossible. Only BuySelf can enable you to reduce the buyer agent commission through our new BuySelf Buyer program under the new MLS Lawsuit Settlement rules.
Yes. For multiple bidder situations, we recommend the Full Negotiation to Closing Service, to help understand the best strategy to make an offer, by gathering the relevant information about the competition and marketplace.
Better yet, BuySelf buyers can use the savings they have to improve their offer over all other buyers.
Currently, this service is targeted to buyers who have already found the home they want to buy. If you are interested in the service, but would like help finding a home, we are developing services that can help. Please contact us and let us know the details-where you are looking, your price range, and timeframe, and we may be able to help you, depending on our team’s availability.
Yes, who pays the BuySelf commission is negotiable, and many sellers are willing. We can also structure the fee you pay to BuySelf so that it is included in the amount of your mortgage and credited to you at closing.
