Unfortunately, most sellers knowingly or unknowingly pay these extra fees on top of the commission. These sellers either do not know any better or they are in a frame of mind of paying over $13,000 in commission for the average priced home in Greater Milwaukee that they figure, what's a few hundred dollars more. It's a shame that high commission brokers have imposed or increased this additional fee over the last few years. But as long as sellers blindly keep paying these fees, brokers will continue charging them.
Bottom line: a few hundred dollars on top of the thousands ONE SAVES BY USING HOMEOWNERS CONCEPT adds up to a substantial amount of money. Furthermore, one not only saves thousands in commissions and hundreds of dollars in administrative fees but they ALSO get to work with one of our many highly skilled Realtors who are top selling in Metro Milwaukee (we only employ full time agents that sell at least 4 times as many homes per year as the average agent and have been in business for at least 5 years or longer!). In the current environment of fast sales we're in, there is no excuse for sellers to pay 5 or 6% commission and having to pay an administrative fee on top of that.
