The Problem

Home sellers routinely pay 4-6% in real estate commissions, often tens of thousands of dollars, without knowing what's negotiable or how to structure the conversation. Most sellers lack data on local commission norms, feel uncomfortable negotiating with their agent, and don't understand the split between buyer and seller agent fees well enough to know where savings are possible.

Potential Solution

A tool that pulls local MLS data, recent comparable sales, and regional commission benchmarks to generate a personalized negotiation playbook for sellers. It would calculate exact dollar savings at various commission tiers, suggest optimal commission structures (flat fee, tiered, buyer vs. seller split), and provide scripts and counter-offers tailored to the user's market, property value, and relationship with their agent.

Why Now?

The 2024 NAR settlement fundamentally changed how buyer agent commissions work in the US, creating widespread confusion and a historic window where commission norms are actively being reset. In Canada, similar scrutiny is mounting. Sellers are more empowered than ever to negotiate but lack the tools to do it effectively.
