Understanding our Brokerage Fees

Buyers of vacation homes require a significant amount of resources to ensure the acquisition of a property and the conveyance or set up of any business entity is property executed. As vacation home specialists, we offer all of the same services general real estate brokers provide PLUS we also provide services to convey or set up the short term rental business. That is out vacation home specialist hat.  We do this work for you at no additional charge.

No Referral Fees

Additionally, The Jerry Barker Group does not ask for referral fees from the vendors we recommend, we believe we are the only brokerage that does not.
That allows us to provide you with services that are the best for you, not those that make us money. This has the additional knock on effect that the vendors we recommend tend to provide our clients with superior service – because they don’t cost them anything.

If we are representing you, the fee for our real estate and vacation home specialist services is 3% of the accepted offer price.
As part of our agreement to represent us, you give us permission to negotiate this fee as part of the sellers closing costs.
In some cases sellers may negotiate a reduced commission and should that be the case you will be required you to make up any difference.

Notes

It is part of our representation agreement that you may have to pay the difference at closing if the listing commission is less than 3%.
If a property you are looking at falls under 3% we will will let you know so you can adjust your offer accordingly.
