- NO hidden fees
Why we don't offer Buyers Premium?
- Buyers have expressed the fact that they will not participate in auctions that use buyer’s premium. Our job is to ensure ALL buyers participate in Your land sale.
- The commission still directly impacts buyer’s bids on the property. With buyer’s premium they just add it into what it will cost them for the land.
- Some agencies charge a higher commission to the unknowing land seller by saying the commission will not be charged against the seller. Again, buyers bid based on adding this buyer’s premium into their bid.
- Our advice is to not be duped into paying a land agents higher commissions.
Example:
What if South Dakota land, that is inherited by out of state relatives, and is sold by an agency that promises to not charge the sellers a commission. This means the client's relatives could be told that the agency will sell the land and it will cost them nothing because the agency can charge all commission fees back on the buyer via a “buyer’s premium.”
Is this appropriate? We do not think so either, which is why we are upfront with our fee structure.
No Hidden Fee Commission Promise.
