Real Estate Commission Rates
Real estate commission rates are a hot topic in the real estate industry and important to my clients.
Since the beginning of my career (licensed since 2003) I have worked hard to make sure our commission rates were upfront and clear with all of our clients.
In the greater Portland metro and in SW Washington we charge 1.7% to sell a home.
In Salem and Bend metro areas our team charges 2% to sell.
Both rates include the buyers agent commission. We've worked hard to show that the commission we earn consistently sells our clients homes faster and for more.
If you’re thinking of selling your home in the next twelve months, we would love to tour your home. Call today to set an appointment.

Stephen was just simply a fantastic realtor to work with in selling our home. If we had another 50 properties to sell, Stephen would be in charge of all of them. He was so professional in handling every detail of our sale, and he was so responsive to every question that came up in the course of our transaction. My wife and I are very thankful that we found Stephen.
