  • Why are Wayber Commissions so low, what's the gimmick?
    No Gimmick. There are two reasons why we can sustain these low commissions. 1) Home prices used to be ~300k. A 6% commission would mean 9k for Buyer agent and 9k for Seller Agent. Home prices have soared 4x in the last 10 years, but the percentage hasn't. We are only offering commissions that are more consistent with how its been in the past. We are here to provide an honest price. 2) Through AI and Big Data we are able to automate part of the proceeds to return the savings to you, our customer. We are still 100% full service. Whether its listings or showings, analysis and thoroughness, we will take care of your real estate needs from start to finish at the highest standards.
  • How do you handle negotiations and offers with the flat fee model?
    Wayber provides full support during the negotiation process similar to any other brokage. We have over 100 combined years of experience here at Wayber. We ensure that our buyers and sellers get best possible deal through experience and using new technology.
  • What does the 2% Buyer Rebate mean?
    Typically, Buyer Agent's commission is 3%. If the final price of the home is $1,000,000, the buyer's commission is $30,000. A 2% rebate in this scenario would be $20,000. Our rebate will go to lowering your closing costs. Closing Costs for a 1 Mil home is likely to be $50,000+. Our rebate will go towards lowering that cost by $20,000 in this scenario. Our offer of 2% rebate only applies to listings where the Buyer Agent fee is 2.5% or above. Another way to explain this is that Wayber has a minimum commission charge of $5000 for Buyer Representation. We return the rest to your closing costs. A Typical home in Seattle is about $800k and average buyer's commission is 2.5% Meaning Agent commission is $20,000. In this scenario we would return $15k towards your closing.
