Who Pays Real Estate Commissions in Texas?

Who Pays the Real Estate Commission in Texas?

One of the questions that I’m frequently asked is, “Who pays the real estate commission in Texas for a real estate transaction?” That’s a good question! Here’s the answer…


Things Are Different in 2024!

There are BIG changes hitting the entire real estate industry as of August 2024, so make sure you watch my videos to understand those changes and how they will impact you.

RECOMMENDATION: Change the video Quality setting to 1080p. You can also change the Playback Speed.

So how do I earn the sales commission? I have a very detailed “To Do List for Buyer Clients” that has over 100 tasks that I may perform for you…and only one task is “Show properties until one is found.” So even if I show you 30 houses, that only represents one of the line items on my To Do list! Trust me when I say that there is a lot more to my job than “just showing houses.” I’m looking out for you every step of the way and keeping my eye on the Listing Agent, the Seller, the builder (if applicable), the lender, the inspector, the title company…I’m always watching out for you because I’m your agent.

Why Work With Sheila?

I’m not going to sell you on a house or neighborhood just because it’s beautiful, popular, or new. My job is to help you make a smart real estate decision.

That means looking beyond the listing photos and helping you evaluate things like school zoning, flood risk, property taxes, resale considerations, neighborhood differences, inspections, repairs, contract deadlines, and the dozens of other details that can affect your purchase or sale.

Sometimes the most valuable thing I can tell you is, “I wouldn’t buy this house.”
