How it works

1 Input property specification

Buyers and sellers open a detailed specification and Agentsdeal.com estimates expected commission refunds/discounts based on the same. Agents get to know that they have a serious principal. Buyers/sellers further define what level of "services" they want - savvy principals can indeed choose lesser services and get bigger commission discounts/refunds.

2 Invite bids from agents

Buyer and sellers invite bidding either in Private or Auction mode. Only qualified agents (ranked internally by Agentsdeal.com) who meet a certain threshold are allowed to bid.

3 Receive bids to review

Receive a table of bids of commissions, agent experience and service tiers correlated to those bids. A large number of bids ensures that commissions get to a "market rate".

4 Shortlist up to 3 agents

In a successful referral, buyers and sellers can choose to contact up to 3 agents if they want to talk and meet, before selecting a final agent. Buyer's and seller's contact information is protected until they choose to create a successful referral.

5 finalize agent and complete transaction

Buyer and seller select final agent and complete their transaction for purchase or sale.

6 Enter feedback and review

Buyer and seller can continually track the transaction on Agentsdeal.com and can enter reviews to benefit the agents and future buyers/sellers.

TESTIMONIALS

35% discount on commission earned by my buyer's agent, at transaction close. selected the buyer's agent by using Agentsdeal.com - works great - Agents compete and I got good discount as I knew what I was getting ! Service tier based bidding worked great for me.
