Buying
Flat fees. Full clarity.
Buyer representation at three fixed price points. Know exactly what you're paying before you start.
The percentage model for buyers was always backwards.
Traditional buyer agent compensation was a percentage of the purchase price — invisible to the buyer, baked into the transaction, and completely decoupled from the actual work. The contracts don't change because the house costs more. The negotiations don't become more sophisticated. The fee just grows.
We charge flat fees because the work has a value, and that value doesn't scale with the listing price. $15,000 for full service. $9,000 for limited service. $450/hr for consultation. You know the number before you start.

Why we ask for a retainer
Traditionally, buyer agents are only paid when a home closes. That sounds simple, but it creates a real misalignment: your agent is financially incentivized to get you to close — quickly, on whatever house is available. That pressure can show up as rushing the process, overlooking inspection issues, or pushing you toward a home that's less than ideal.
The other problem with the traditional model is that it's subsidized: clients who close end up paying for all the time agents spend with clients who never do. That's not fair to anyone.
The retainer fixes both problems. It ensures our incentives are aligned from the very beginning — not just at the closing table. And it means your fee reflects your representation, not someone else's.
How the retainer works
It's applied to your total fee
The retainer isn't an extra cost. It's a portion of your flat fee paid upfront and credited in full at closing.
Full Service: $3,000
Applied toward your $15,000 flat fee. Remaining $12,000 is paid at closing.
Limited Service: $1,500
Applied toward your $9,000 flat fee. Remaining $7,500 is paid at closing.
Consultation: no retainer
Hourly billing. Pay only for the time you use, invoiced as you go.
