Offering a cooperating buyer's agent commission is common practice in real estate transactions because it incentivizes buyer's agents to show and promote your property to their clients. By offering a commission, you're essentially compensating the buyer's agent for their services in bringing a buyer to your property and facilitating the transaction.

​

The recommended commission structure is typically 3.5% on the first $100,000 and 1.5% on the balance, a standard practice in many real estate markets. Including these commissions in your asking price allows you to negotiate the overall purchase price without adding an extra layer of negotiation regarding the buyer's agent commission.

​

By including the cooperating buyer's agent commission in your asking price, you streamline the process, potentially attract more buyer's agents to show your property, and ensure that buyers understand they won't have to pay their agent separately. This approach can indeed save time, money, and reduce stress for all parties involved, ultimately allowing the focus to be on showcasing your home effectively.
