The Hidden Truth About Commissions
Who Really Pays the Buyer Agent Commission?
The "Seller Pays" Myth
Technically, the seller writes the check for buyer agent commissions (typically 2.5%–3%). But here's what most buyers don't realize: that commission is already built into the list price of the home. Sellers price their homes knowing they'll pay 5%–6% in total commissions. You're not getting "free" representation—you're paying for it indirectly through a higher purchase price.
Your Strategic Advantage
When you use our flat-fee service, you can submit an offer that doesn't request a buyer agent commission from the seller. This makes your offer significantly more attractive—the seller keeps more money. That leverage often translates into a lower accepted price, seller credits, or other concessions worth far more than commission savings alone.
You Can Even Get Reimbursed at Closing
Here's a powerful option: we can structure your offer to request a closing cost credit from the seller that covers our flat fee. If the seller agrees, our fee gets paid from the transaction proceeds—effectively reimbursing you at closing. You get professional representation, and if structured correctly, it costs you nothing out of pocket.

Buyer Coaching
How to Access Properties
This is a remote service—you'll take an active role in viewing homes. Here's exactly what to say and do.
Why This Matters
Because we provide remote representation at a flat fee, you'll need to make an effort to view properties through open houses, listing agent cooperation, or third-party showing services. The good news? This is straightforward, and most listing agents are happy to help serious buyers. Below are scripts you can use word-for-word.
Scenario 1
At an Open House
When the listing agent asks if you're working with an agent:
What to Say
"Yes, I'm represented by Realty Net LLC. They provide remote buyer representation, so I attend open houses on my own. If I'm interested, my agent will contact you directly to discuss the offer."
Tips:
- Sign in with your name and note "Represented by Realty Net LLC"
- Take photos and notes—we'll want details when discussing the property
- Ask the listing agent any questions you have about the home
Scenario 2
Requesting a Private Showing
When calling or emailing the listing agent to request access:
What to Say
"Hi, I'm interested in viewing [property address]. I'm represented by Realty Net LLC—a licensed Oregon brokerage that provides remote buyer representation. Would you be willing to show me the property directly? If I decide to make an offer, my agent will handle all paperwork and negotiations with you."
Why this works:
- You're clearly represented—the listing agent knows there's a licensed agent on your side
- No commission request means the seller saves money, making cooperation more likely
- The listing agent may earn the full commission, which incentivizes them to help
Scenario 3
If the Listing Agent Declines
Some listing agents may prefer not to show properties directly. That's okay—you have options:

FAQ
Common Questions
We can write your offer to request seller-paid commission—or not. Here's the strategic advantage of not asking: it makes your offer significantly more attractive to sellers. Most buyer agent commissions (2.5%–3%) are already built into the listing price, so by presenting an offer with no BAC request, you create more room to negotiate on price or seller concessions. Better yet: we can structure your offer to request a closing cost credit that covers our flat fee. If the seller agrees, our fee gets paid from the transaction—effectively reimbursing you at closing.
Because that's when most of the work, liability, and negotiation occurs. We coordinate inspections, review reports, negotiate repairs, and manage critical deadlines during this phase. Tying payment to the inspection milestone keeps pricing fair and predictable for both parties.
Your upfront fee covers one complete Offer Package—that's one written offer plus up to two counter rounds. The Offer Package is earned whether or not the seller accepts. If you want to pursue additional properties, additional Offer Packages are $995 each.
If the transaction terminates before the inspection period is completed or removed, you only pay the $995 minimum earned fee. The remaining balance is not due. Any subsequent attempt to purchase another property would require a new Offer Package.
You have several free options: attend open houses, request access directly from listing agents, or work with sellers who may grant access when they benefit from commission savings. When those aren't available, licensed showing services like Showami.com provide access for typically $50–$100+ per showing (varies by location, notice, and timing). Budget $250–$500 if you expect 5–10 showings before finding your home—still far less than a traditional 2.5% commission.
Our flat fee covers consultation, offer preparation, negotiation, contract coordination, inspection coordination, repair negotiations, and closing support. Not included: in-person attendance at showings or inspections, unlimited offers (additional Offer Packages are $995 each, extra counters $200 each), and third-party property access fees. Showami typically charges $50–$100+ per showing depending on location and timing—budget accordingly if you'll need private showings. This keeps our pricing transparent and fair.
Flat-fee pricing removes incentives tied to purchase price and gives you predictable costs while still receiving professional representation. The work involved in representing you doesn't scale with home price—why should the fee? On a $550,000 home, you save over $11,000 compared to a traditional 2.5% buyer agent commission.
