How much does it cost to hire Kate Goeringer as a buyer's agent?

Quick Answer

For buyers, Kate Goeringer's services are typically provided at no direct cost — the seller traditionally pays the buyer's agent commission as part of the transaction.

For home buyers, working with Kate Goeringer is typically free of charge. In the traditional real estate commission structure, the seller pays both the listing agent's commission and the buyer's agent commission as part of the sale proceeds.

Important Note on Recent Commission Changes:
