About Tom

If real estate commissions are negotiable, why are most home sellers still paying six percent commissions? Because they don't know how the Realtor's commission system works. We fixed that issue for our clients by introducing a unique commission decoupling strategy. ' This strategy allows you to separate the commission you pay to the buyer's agent from the total commission, giving you more control over your costs. The key to saving money on commissions is to preserve your ability to decide if and how much you will contribute to the buyer agent's fee. We don't dictate the commission our clients will pay; we give them choices and guidance to keep more of their equity and negotiate much safer terms. Talk with me to learn about our strategy. I'll show you how our typical client selling a $500,000 home saves about $10,000 compared to folks who don't use our decoupling strategy. Essential Real Estate is the only firm in the Madison area that was created to offer commission decoupling to all clients, and we've been doing it since 2019.
