Maximize Your Sell

Decide what help to hire—and what your net can support.

There is no WG Title-selected commission rate here. Compare the work you keep, enter the costs you are actually quoted, and evaluate any buyer-agent request against your own proceeds boundaries.

Representation comparison

Start with scope, not a label.

FSBO, flat-fee and full-service arrangements allocate work differently. “Limited service” does not tell you who answers inquiries, schedules showings, handles offers or tracks deadlines.

Scope comparison

Your entered cost

“Full service” and “flat fee” are not uniform products. Use the written agreement—not the label—to decide who owns each task and risk.

Buyer-agent request

Translate the request into your own transaction.

Seller-paid buyer-agent compensation is optional and negotiable. A seller can compare a flat amount or percentage against price, payoff, costs, concessions and the seller’s own net boundaries.

Seller-specific negotiation planner

Protect your net before discussing a contribution.

Buyer requested$00% of price · net becomes $0
Target contribution$00% · preserves desired net
Hard ceiling$00% · preserves minimum net
Discussion outline

“The request equals $0. My target boundary is $0 and my absolute ceiling is $0. I want to compare the contribution with price, concessions and the buyer’s full offer before deciding.”

Headroom to target: $0 · headroom to hard ceiling: $0. Negative headroom means the request crosses that boundary.

This is seller-net planning—not contract language, a market-rate opinion or a recommendation about what to offer.

Current consumer rule

Optional, negotiable and off the MLS.

No offer is mandatory.

NAR’s consumer guidance says a seller decides whether making an offer of compensation fits the sale. A request can also be negotiated in the purchase agreement.

An offer cannot be placed in an MLS.

Compensation can be discussed through permitted off-MLS channels, but it cannot be listed on a Multiple Listing Service.

WG Title does not set the number.

WG Title does not recommend, receive or determine broker compensation. The worksheet is a seller-specific net planner, not contract language or a market-rate recommendation.
