Sellers Agent Commission Rates

Sellers agent commission rates are a hot topic in the real estate market and an important subject for my clients. Since the beginning of my real estate career in 2003, I've been upfront and clear about our seller commission rates.

In the greater Portland metro and in SW Washington we charge a max of 4% to sell a home.

In Salem and Bend metro areas our team charges a max of 4.5% to sell.

Both rates include the buyers agent commission. We've worked hard to show that the sellers agent 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.
