The only way you will get 20-30% of a commission is if you are licensed by the California's Department of Real Estate.

There is no such thing as an incentive for any real estate agent to work with a client.
Not in my book. It's not easy closing deals, especially if they are FHA financed loans.

The good thing is that you will find desperate agents that will give you part of their commission.
Just remember, you get what you pay for.


Hope everything works out fine for you,

Hello,

For agents, it s very difficult to give you 20% off as they also have to split the total commission with their brokers as well. I am an independent broker, therefore, I do not have to split my commission with anyone which allows me to assist buyers with closing costs. I also offer very generous referral fees...Please feel free to call or email me to discuss your options. Good luck!

Ask yourself this question: How would you feel if someone offered to do your job for 70% of what you're being paid?

The best way buy a home is to engage a local Realtor (remember the buyer's Realtor is paid by the seller, so there no cost to a buyer). Before you buy you should consider several homes that meet your criteria (size, neighborhood, etc.). That means viewing inside, probably more than once. The only realistic way to do that is with a Realtor. Then once you're ready to make an offer, that same Realtor is critical because you'll need advice not only on the price to offer but on all the many other decisions you make before you write that offer. Even if the seller accepts your offer as written, you still need that Realtor to help you negotiate through all the rest of the purchase process.

https://www.placertitle.com/docs/PurchaseProcess.pdf is a good outline of the whole purchase process from Placer Title company. Purchasing a home is likely the largest financial decision you will ever make. You need a good Realtor by your side the whole way, and yes I'd like to meet with you to let you decide if I'm the right Realtor for you.

The buyer does not pay the Realtor's commission. The seller offers the percentage. If a realtor would give up 25 % of their pay to get you to use them, would you be upset if they only gave 75% of their efforts to negotiate on your behalf? An experienced realtor will give you far more value than what would amount to 25 % off their commission. If the price was $ 100,000.00 the selling agent's commission would be 3%. = $ 3,000.00. You want 25 % = $ 750.00? A good agent is going to do much better than get you a $ 750.00 savings.
