How Much commission should I pay to rent my home?


We all need to make money

Years ago when I owned an Italian Delicatessen, I had a customer who told me about a loaf of bread she loved, but she could not drive to Fashion Island in Newport Beach anymore and she missed the Bread. She asked me, if I ever was at Fashion Island if I could pick her up one and she would pay me. One day I was in Newport and I did pick her up the Bread. I called her and she came in to pick it up, but she was upset that I had added a small increase in the normal price that she paid for the bread. She did not understand that I was in business to make money.

The moral of the story

I tell that story about the bread to make a point when people ask me about what commission they should pay. Of course the commission that a person pays their Broker is up to them and their Broker, but the number of people who will see their property depends greatly on the amount of commission they are willing to offer. And of course the more people that see the property, the better chance of a positive outcome.

So many people are not clear on what the commission they pay to rent or sell their home really buys them. I have had conversations with people who get very upset that their Broker is not bringing people to see their property and I explain to them that they are not paying their Broker a commission to show their property, they are paying their Broker to make sure that the property is shown by every realtor that has a potential client. In order for that to happen, the Broker needs to have enough commission paid so they can offer on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) a large enough commission to incentivize their fellow Realtors to show the property and also make money themselves. If just like the bread lady, you expect others to give you service without profit, then you will not get the outcome you are looking for.

Back to the original question

So let’s get back to the original question before I went on about bread, how much should a Landlord pay in commission to get their property rented? When it comes to leases, we have to start by saying that there is not much money to be made by the Brokers in the first place, so what is offered on the MLS can be very tricky. The listing Broker has a dilemma, because the normal commission for a lease is ½ of one month’s rent, so if your property rents for $2000.00 then you would pay $1000.00 in commission. If Your Broker has to split that commission with another Broker then you can see that neither party is getting rich on the transaction. In fact most Realtors will not show rental property, so you need to make sure that the few that do are willing to show your property.

Without getting into the nitty gritty of what goes on with many lease listings on the MLS, if your Broker is willing to split the commission 50/50 then you should get a good amount of Realtors showing your property, because unfortunately, many Brokers will try and short change the offerings on the MLS to try and keep as much of that commission for themselves as they possibly can.  In my property Management business, I have had Realtors say how surprised they were that I was offering as much commission as I was, because I always offer a 50/50 spit.


Offer an incentive and be surprised

If you as a Landlord understand the dilemma your Broker is in and you want to make sure your property is well represented on the MLS, then you may want to offer an incentive to Realtors who bring a qualified Tenant to your property. You would be surprised at what an extra $200.00 can mean on a lease listing. Remember that you are looking for as many well qualified showings as possible and if that takes some incentive on your part then it may be well worth it.

  Getting back to the bread lady from my past, if she was willing to pay me that little extra for the bread, I would have been happy to bring her the bread every time I was near Fashion Island, but since she did not feel my service was worth anything then she got what she deserved, Nothing!

What my clients are saying  

5 reviews 5.0 star rating 1/21/2016 I was tired of using a large management team to manage my investment property. I felt I was always on the back burner. I was recommended to Tony from a business associate, he assured me I would be very pleased. Well that was an understatement, Tony is amazing. He's above all honest and always available for my concerns. I'm not as well versed as other investors with property management and maintenance and tenant relations, Tony has been an excellent partner and has guided me through quite a bit of needed repairs and worked far beyond what was expected to help turn my little investment into quite a prosperous investment, If what your looking for is prompt return calls, honest direction and someone very knowledgeable with general contractors and real estate laws, Tony is your man.
