I don't Debbie. You are a better listing agent than I so I would like to hear your thoughts. I just tell the seller about me and my services and then I say do you want to take care of the paperwork. If they bring that up I talk about it.

It is not a part of the listing presentation. When you decide you are going to work with me, we can discuss the commission. How does that sound? Do you feel comfortable moving forward?

usually address that in phone call. No use in meeting if I am out of the running right out of the gate. The one person that didn't want to meet was looking for a ridiculously low comission. I wished them the best of success.

Debbie Reynolds My fees are discussed in a proposal I send to the potential seller prior to the listing appointment. They already know the fee prior to the appointment.

We know what we work for ...and the "Net" sheet that shows the list price and the cost of the sale, mortgage balance if there is one, is always part of the presentation after the marekting plan.

When I go over the listing form. And at times, you do adjustment to compensation depending on sell/buy together or relationship and sometimes, just the situation of the seller.

I state it as I'm going through the listing agreement. If I've clearly demonstrated my value to the seller and they are happy with their potential net, then the commission is simply one more term in the contract like start and end date.

I do not discuss commission. I wait for the question to be asked. I state what it is and if necessary, then we discuss it.

I just state what it is. Once I'm done explaining what all I do to sell my homes and my DOM, it's rare that a seller wants to "discuss" my commission with me.

A LP I ask if they have any questions.
I point out professional fees on the netsheet.
Compensation directives are detailed on the listing agreement.
When offer received, the netsheet line- items compensation.
I think the issue is well covered and discussed without HEADLINING it.

It can depend on other factors such as the expectation of a long term relationship - otherwise I just state it.

Good morning Debbie. Most people usually have a pretty good idea, so for me it could depend on the situation, but most likely it would be when the discussion of the money, after all expenses how much they would end up with.

Debbie - I usually discuss it when completing the listing paperwork, after we have agreed to work together. If they have questions at that time, I am more than happy to discuss and negotiate.

I do my presentation not mentioning any commission then I ask based on what you have heard are you comfortable working with me? they usually say we don't know what you charge yet. I say if you agree with that are you comfortable. They answer yes then I know it's about price and not anything else. Many times we have no idea what it's about at least this way I know what I am dealing with.

I discuss it when they ask, and great question by the way. Of course, they all try to negotiate it down, but I explain the value of the service that is provided.

It is stated as we go over the net sheet. If it becomes sticking point and/or there are obvious signs that needs to be addressed further, we do. Normally it is not an issue at that point as we do good job at presenting the value of our service.
There are some situations where we know, going in, that some reduction in commission will be applicable due to circumstances clients find themselves in....so, in those cases it is negotiable.

It forms part of the presentation ... this is what we do, this is how it is done and this is what it will cost you ...

When I had retail electronic stores for 16 years I trained the sales people that price is always the last thing, service and quality the first. If I would get this at the start from a potnetial client I usually figure that they are not for me.

If they ask if it's negotiable I tell them yes it is.
Then raise my stated commission.
It's amazing how well it works. Try it sometime.
Happy Selling!

When they're signing the listing agreement I tell them what the percentage is and what would go to a cooperating broker. It is not up for discussion. They are told that they will most likely want to pay be a BONUS but that will not be necessary!! :)

Hi Debbie, I normally do discuss my commission during the listing presentation. Once they've decided to hire me based upon my presentation and services provided, I will inform them what my commission fees are. If they ask me to lower my commission, I will ask them what part of my services do you want me to cut out? Of course everyone what's the whole package.

I don't discuss it unless asked. When they decide to work with me commission is included in the contract and very rarely negotiated. The only time we might reduce it is for multiple property sales.

commission is discussed during our second visit when we discuss price....we don't ask or discuss....we inform....

I mention it when I am reviewing the net sheet with the seller. I mark all items that are negotiatiable and that one is not marked.

First I discuss the price for their home and see how much they want to walk away with and than I tell them the commission. Sort of work it backwards. This way everybody is happy!
great question
