They should NOT be apprehensive of
showing because of these following reasons:
1. If
the Seller offers a fair Buyer’s agent commission, the
agent will feel compensated for their work. If the
Buyer agent is compensated competitively, an agent would
not ignore earning a commission.
2. All
Realtors are bound by the Law and Code of Ethics. It is
their responsibility to place their client’s interest
above their own to find the most appropriate property
for their buyers regardless of the commission offered by
the Seller. To review the Realtors’ code of Ethics,

3. Today’s
Internet technology makes it extremely easy for buyers
to find properties online. Buyers are doing their
homework themselves and searching for homes online.
More often Buyers will give MLS numbers to their real
estate agent to schedule showings.
4.
There is Federal Antitrust law which prohibits any
local real estate board/market to directly or
indirectly influence fixed commission rates or
commission. It is illegal and can be punished by
jail time, revocation of real estate license, and be
severely reprimanded if someone violate this
Federal Antitrust Law.
REALTOR® is a
registered collective membership mark that
identifies a real estate professional who is a
member of the National Association of REALTOR® and
subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics.

Yes! Unlike traditional real
estate, you reserve the right to show and sell your
property yourself - if you sell your home yourself
without the help of a REALTOR®, you pay NO
COMMISSION! You still maintain the right
to sell your own property. Even if
Alternative Realty finds a buyer for you, NO
commission is paid.
