Working with an agent

What a realtor actually costs you, in plain numbers

Where the money goes, who pays it, and what you can negotiate.

The plain answer

Commission is negotiable, it is agreed in writing before the house is listed, and it comes out of the proceeds at closing rather than out of your pocket up front. Ask for the number in writing and ask what it covers.

// PLACEHOLDER - full guide copy for "What a realtor actually costs you" is written in Phase 5.
