The Commission
Label.
Real estate commissions are one of the most expensive ingredients in your home sale or purchase. We put them on a label — so you can read exactly what you're paying.
Cost Facts
Cost Facts
What you're actually paying for.
In a traditional transaction, the seller pays both agents with money paid by the buyer. The listing agent typically takes 2.5–3%, and the buyer's agent takes another 2.5–3%. That 5–6% commission comes out of the sale proceeds — it's the largest single cost in the entire transaction, and most people never see it as a line item.
If you sell with Beycome, we replace the listing agent percentage fee with a flat $99–$399 or $999 charge and give you full control over what you offer — or don't offer — to the buyer's agent. On a $400,000 home where you'd normally pay $12,000 just for the listing agent alone, you instead pay $99–$399 or $999, and you decide whether to offer a commission to a buyer's agent. Your decision. That's a check you keep.
Since August 2024 and the NAR settlement, any agent representing you on a purchase must have you sign a representation agreement disclosing what they will charge — typically 2.5–3%. Beycome charges just 1%, which means that if the seller offers 3%, we credit you everything above 1% — in this case, 2% back. That credit can come as cash or be applied toward your closing costs.
Total Commission = what leaves your transaction
Like Calories on a food label — it's the headline number. For sellers: what you pay to agents. For buyers: what your agent earns from the seller-funded commission.
% of Home Price = the "daily value" equivalent
Every percentage point on a $400,000 home is $4,000. Knowing the percentage makes it easy to compare across price ranges without a calculator.
Rebate back to you = a nutrient you want MORE of
Traditional agents: $0 back. Beycome buyers: up to 2% back at closing, applied toward your mortgage buydown, closing costs, or principal.
Net cost to you = the number that actually matters
After fees and rebates, how much did the transaction actually cost you? With Beycome, sellers pay a flat fee. Buyers often walk away with cash back.
