Buy with the Top 1% Agents

Make more competitive offers. Pay just 1% at closing

Don’t waste thousands on outdated buyer broker commissions

Work with a pre-negotiated 1% commissioned buyer agent from the HomeRise agent network. If the seller doesn’t offer a buyer broker commission, you’ll only pay 1% instead of the 2-3% traditional agents charge. If the seller offers a commission higher than 1%, you may be eligible for a rebate. Save thousands and make more competitive offers—all while having a seasoned agent by your side.

Pay just 1% at closing

Agents in the HomeRise network are pre-negotiated at a 1% buyer broker fee. If the seller is offering more than 1%, you may be eligible for a rebate. Don’t pay more.

What is a ‘net effective offer?

Sellers will consider all details relating to an offer. Time to close, contingencies, down payment, EMD, etc.. Since the new rules went into effect following the NAR settlement, most buyers are now requesting a 2% commission for their agents. You can make a stronger offer when you only request a 1% commission. We call it, the Net Effective Offer.

What are the new real estate rules

On October 31st 2023, the National Association of Realtors and many big brokerages were found guilty of price fixing and collusion. Since that ruling, new regulations went into effect on August 17th 2024. As a buyer, there are two key changes you need to be aware of:

Buyer Agency Agreement

Before you start touring homes with a buyer agent, you’ll need to sign a Buyer Agency Agreement.

This agreement will outline your relationship with your buyer agent. As a buyer, make sure this agreement is straightforward and transparent.

Our Pre-negotiated agents highlight their 1% fee in their agreements with a cancel-anytime policy*.

*You can cancel the agreement up until you go under contract on your new home.

Buyer Agent Compensation

Buyers now have a say in how their agents are compensated.

Previously, buyer agents were typically paid by sharing the listing agent’s commission, which was not usually discussed with the buyer.

Commissions can still be shared between agents, but now you, the buyer, must first agree to the terms. Alternatively, your buyer agent can be paid directly by the seller, or through a concession given to you by the seller, or directly from your pocket.
