Full Service for 1%

Yes! Our service is identical in every way to you signing up for a full service listing with your local agent for 6% commission. The only difference is the commission structure. Don’t worry, just because you don’t have the time to sell For Sale By Owner doesn’t mean you need to pay 6% of your sale price in commission. You can save thousands on your closing costs without risking your home sale by working with one of our highly experienced, brand name partner brokers who never openly discount their services. As a result, you’ll truly get the real thing but at a better price!

Savvy sellers know there’s no such thing as a free lunch. There’s a reason why traditional agents dominate the market and the typical real estate commission in NYC is still 6%. That’s because buyers’ brokers are loathe to show properties listed For Sale By Owner and by discount brokers out to “disrupt” the industry. Why would they help a discount broker when there are plenty of other listings to choose from?

So how does one safely and discreetly save on commission without risking their home sale? By working with one of Hauseit’s brand name, traditional partner brokers who never openly discount or otherwise tarnish their reputations. As a result, our partner brokers have great working relationships with the wider brokerage community.

The only difference is how much of your home equity you will save. Your typical listing agent charges you 6% commission regardless of the outcome (even if you end up selling your home to a friend or neighbor). They will try to convince you that paying 6% commission is some sort of law (you should ask them if they’re a lawyer, as it’s not).  Failing that, they will say that their fee is really only 3% as they must split the commission equally with a buyer’s agent in the vast majority of cases since 90% of all buyers are represented.

Our full service partner brokers have agreed to charge only 1% while co-broking typically 2.5% or 3% to buyers’ agents. If our affiliates find a direct buyer, your total commission is subject to even further reduction!

Because most buyers are represented by agents in NYC, listing agents usually make only half of the typical 6% commission. In the case that a buyer is represented, our affiliate brokers have agreed to take only 1% versus 3% commission in a normal broker to broker transaction. That means you would save on two thirds of the typical seller’s broker fee!

With home prices at or above record highs, the savings you may achieve by working with Hauseit can be substantial. In New York City where the average home sale price now exceeds $2 million, every 1% in commission savings equates to another $20,000 in your pocket.

If our partner listing broker finds a direct buyer, you can expect to save even more commission versus what a traditional full-service listing agent would charge. That’s because our partner broker will agree to waive the 1% listing fee altogether.¹

With traditional full-service listing agents and their Exclusive Right to Sell listing agreements, you’d be required to pay the full 6% commission to the listing agent even if the buyer for your property is not represented by a buyer’s agent!

Even if you do end up selling your home to a buyer represented by an agent, you can still expect to save 2.5% or more in agent commissions through Hauseit. The total commission you’d pay would be just 3.5% or 4% as opposed to the 6% charged by a traditional listing agent. The 3.5% or 4% commission you’d pay is broken down into just 1% to our partner listing broker and 2.5% or 3% to the agent representing the buyer (the exact commission amount may vary). You would therefore save at a minimum 2% in commission even if you co-broked a full 3% to buyers’ agents.

¹Please speak with us for more details. The fee payable for a direct buyer is subject to negotiation with our partner brokers.
