For
years there has been an uneasy relationship between
buyers and Realtors, re: the value of Realtors
contribution.
This has caused a lot of “game-playing”,
with both sides trying to maximize their ROI (Return On
Investment). The Buyer felt that since they were paying
the Realtor a windfall salary to “show them around”,
they had earned the right to look at every single
property this side of the moon, that “might” fit their
parameters, not really thinking it was costing them
anything, and agents privately complain that customers
“actually want them to drive them around, feeding them
lunch, etc. for 8 weeks, before they make a low-ball
offer.” Can’t you see what’s wrong with this picture? Let’s do
it differently.
Buying a property through
Paul Billingsly Realtor’s
Bluebird program nets
the Buyer 2/3 of the commission scheduled to be paid to
the Buyer’s Agent.
Using a $500,000 transaction, Paul Billingsly Realtors Bluebird
agent, as the Buyer’s Representative, would leave the
closing table with $5,000, while you, the Buyer, would
get a $10,000 credit, which you can take as a credit on
the closing statement, or we will write you a check
within 3 business days of closing. While we recommend you consult your CPA regarding the
advisability of “how” you take this credit, our CPA has
concluded that this credit is not taxable under current
Internal Revenue Service regulations.
