Understanding Agent Compensation (Post 27/28 in the Series)

At Forevermore Homes, we believe in transparency and value. By now, you’ve seen the depth of care, strategy, and professionalism we bring to every listing. Our goal is to earn your trust—and your confidence that we’re worth every penny of the compensation you choose to offer.

Listing Agent Commission
When you list your home, you decide the commission percentage for your listing agent. This fee covers:

  • Strategic pricing based on market data
  • Professional marketing across platforms
  • Full transaction management—from showings to closing

This isn’t just about putting a sign in the yard—it’s about delivering results with care and precision.

Buyer’s Agent Compensation
You also choose whether to offer compensation to the buyer’s agent. While optional, offering compensation can:

  • Increase showings
  • Attract stronger offers
  • Lead to a faster sale at a better price

If you don’t offer compensation upfront, buyers may reduce their offer or ask you to cover their agent’s fee. Either way, the cost often comes from your proceeds—so offering it proactively can give you a strategic edge.

Next up: We’ll wrap up your journey with a heartfelt reflection on what it means to sell your home with confidence and peace of mind.
