Reverse Commission™

Conventional commissions reward agents for getting home buyer’s to pay the highest price for a home. By basing compensation on how much a buyer spends, all real estate agents are encouraged to drive prices up.

Since Territory is an unconventional brokerage (we are so proud!) and only represents buyers we felt it was only appropriate to design a system that rewards our Guides for driving prices down. Our revolutionary Reverse Commission™ is a bonus incentive that bases compensation on how much you save.

How does it work? It’s simple… The Reverse Commission™ is 50% of the negotiated discount - the difference between the seller’s list price and your purchase price. When you close on a home the the Reverse Commission™ is removed from the cooperating commission and you keep the rest. You never pay out of pocket, we just put more money in it!

The Reverse Commission™ guarantees that your Territory Guide will do everything possible to get you the lowest price on any home, and if they aren’t successful they don’t get paid. It’s simple, it’s fair and it works.

Example:

If you purchase a home listed at $500,000 with a 3% commission for only $480,000, the Reverse Commission™ would be $10,000. You would get a rebate for $4,400 for a total savings of $24,400!

*Minimum Reverse Commission charge is a flat fee of $4,995. Maximum charge is the cooperating compensation assigned to buyer agent via MLS.

No matter which one you choose you will still save thousands on your purchase:

Territory offers a unique Solo program for Do-It-Yourself home-buyers. Buyers are provided with unlimited access to every property on the market, they are encouraged to view listings at public open houses and to submit offers through the Territory website. We reward clients who do some of the legwork themselves by charging an industry low flat-fee and rebating the balance of our commission. Solo clients walk away with an average commission rebate of over $10,000.

What You Get

• Unlimited open house tours + 5 tours accompanied by a Territory Guide.
• Online tools to evaluate a property and draft your offer paperwork.
• A Territory Guide to present your offer and to coordinate inspections and closings.

2. Go Guided

For those of you that prefer a little extra help, Territory combines the savings of the Solo program with unlimited access to a Territory Guide. To guarantee your Guide is working to get you the lowest price we use a revolutionary Reverse Commission™ formula. If your Guide doesn’t have a measurable impact on your deal they don’t get paid. Guided clients walk away with average savings of over $25,000.
What You Get

REO and short sale listings do not qualify for our flat fee brokerage model. Territory will collect a full commission on transactions involving any short sale or bank owned listings.

“Sorry folks park’s closed”

We didn’t want to, but we had to do it. Short sales are almost fake listings. Agents tell you the listings are for sale but nine times out of ten they aren’t really for sale. Most of the short sale listings in the MLS database have not been pre-approved at their listing price. This means that the banks haven’t even agreed to sell them at full price! We worked a lot of these deals and they turned out to be a waste of time for everyone. Bank owned listing are better but not much. Most offers aren’t responded to until their are competing bids and the deals take about 10 times the amount of work.

New policy effective immediately.

With deals totaling almost $15Million, Territory is talking BIG savings for our home buyer clients, but what are they actually doing with these big savings?

Imagine this (because it happened!), Territory negotiates $60,000 off a properties list price PLUS hands that new home owner a rebate check in the amount of $8,000. Suddenly there is real money to invest in the property to not only add future resale value but also increase their quality of life. Well, this is exactly what our fabulous clients in Somerville did with their grand total of $68,000 in savings!

With 3000 square feet of living space there were plenty of areas to make some upgrades so to start they chose to add a formal entry way/foyer:

After (extended family already enjoying it):

And also finish the basement into a proper media room:

What is next for these Somerville clients? They say landscaping. Thanks for sharing and we look forward to more pictures!

That’s a lot more savings than the $3,800 a brokerage like Zip Realty offers, and way more than the $0 any traditional real estate firm like, Coldwell Banker, Sotheby’s and Century 21, offers.
