What “3% commission” usually does — and doesn’t — include
The phrase “3% listing commission” sounds simple, but the reality is always in the fine print: what work is actually included, who is getting paid on the buyer side, and how your home is prepared, marketed and negotiated.
What a 3% listing offer might look like
- How much prep, marketing and negotiation is realistically funded at this level.
- Whether your agent is treating this as a lean, standard or high-touch assignment.
- How much of the total commission is going to the buyer side versus your listing side.
- What you will be doing yourself versus what your agent is truly handling.
What full-service sellers usually want
- Clear pricing, timeline and net-sheet planning before you list.
- Prep guidance so you only spend money where it actually helps.
- High-quality media and real marketing, not just a quick upload.
- Strong negotiation through offers, inspections and appraisal.
