Buying or selling a home comes with a simple, transparent question: how much does your real estate brokerage earn? Here’s a clear breakdown of how Luvanex Realty structures commissions, what that means for you, and why it matters.
Our Standard Commission
- We operate on a straightforward commission model.
- The typical commission for a full-service real estate transaction with Luvanex Realty is 3% of the final sale price.
- Example: If a home sells for \$250,000, our commission at 3% equals \$7,500.
Who Pays the Commission?
- In most residential transactions, the seller pays the listing brokerage’s commission at closing.
- At Luvanex Realty, the commission is paid directly by the property seller to Luvanex upon successful closing.
What Our Commission Covers
Your 3% isn’t just a fee—it funds the professional work that helps you sell faster and for top dollar or buy with confidence.
- Strategic pricing analysis and market research
- High-quality marketing: listing copy, pro photos, signage, and digital ads
- MLS exposure and syndication to major real estate websites
- Buyer qualification and showing coordination
- Offer strategy, negotiation, and contract management
- Vendor coordination (inspectors, appraisers, lenders, attorneys)
- Compliance, documentation, and closing support
Why 3%?
Our 3% model is designed to balance value and performance:
- Competitive, transparent pricing
- Full-service support without hidden fees
- Experienced agents aligned with your goals
- Investment in marketing and technology that directly benefits your sale or purchase
What Agents Actually Take Home
A brokerage’s commission isn’t pure profit. Like any business, there are costs:
- Client transportation and property tours
- Professional dues and licensing fees
- Marketing and advertising expenses
- Office, technology, and transaction management systems
- Ongoing training and compliance requirements
After these expenses, the net income to the company and the assigned agent is a portion of the 3% commission.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do buyers pay Luvanex directly?
Typically, no. The seller pays the listing brokerage’s commission at closing, which may be shared with the buyer’s brokerage per local custom.
Is 3% negotiable?
Commission structures can vary by property type, location, and scope of service. Talk to us about your goals, and we’ll tailor the plan.
What if my home doesn’t sell?
You don’t pay a commission unless your property successfully closes, unless otherwise specified in a separate marketing or staging agreement.
