Illinois Agents Who Discount

If you see a blue EBA* that means the agent is an Exclusive Buyer Agent ("EBA").  EBA's work for firms that specialize in representing buyers and avoid problematic conflicts of interest by foregoing the very profitable business of representing sellers.  CAARE encourages you to consider EBA agents first.

Fee Negotiating Tips

1.    Do not work with an agent unless a fee agreement has been negotiated first.

2.    Do not agree to pay any junk fees to the broker.  Many agreements contain fine print that includes things such as "broker administration fees" or commissions.  Do not agree to pay these.

3.    Make sure that your fee agreement states that all seller bonuses or extra fees goes to you and not your broker.

4.    Make sure that your fee agreement states that no referral fees are being paid or received.
