The most common question in a first meeting. Short answer: the seller’s side pays, and you get someone in your corner for it.
When a tract is listed, the seller agrees to pay a commission to the listing brokerage. In almost every Lubbock land deal, that commission is shared with the brokerage that brings the buyer. That’s me.
So when you hire me as your buyer’s agent, you get someone whose only job is your side: finding the tract, researching it, negotiating price and terms, and getting you through due diligence. In the typical deal, you’re not writing me a check.
Why that matters
Without a buyer’s agent, you’re negotiating against a listing agent whose duty is to the seller. They’re good at their job. You should have someone who’s good at theirs, too.
The honest exceptions
- On off-market deals with no listing agreement, we agree a buyer’s fee up front, in writing.
- Significant consulting that doesn’t lead to a purchase, we talk about first.
- The first conversation is free. Always.
