Hire a Buyer Agent for a flat fee as low as $5,000.
With the proposed settlement from the National Association of Realtors, commissions to buyer agents may be changing. To better serve customers who are looking for different commission structures I am now offering representation for a flat fee starting at $5000.
Flat fee rates may vary depending on the number of homes you would like to see, the number of offers you require, and other factors. For customers who have a home picked out and just need a little help closing the deal, a flat fee commission can be a great option.

“I couldn’t be happier with my experience buying my first home. Jeff’s guidance through the entire process was exceptional. He was great at pointing out the good and bad while looking at homes, and helped steer us away from making mistakes when my partner and I were wearing rose tinted glasses. Everyone he referred us to work with were great and his experience was invaluable when making offers and negotiating. We are so happy with our new home and Jeff was a huge part of getting us in it. Jeff is great at what he does.”
