Hi all,

I was curious how much commission do sale consultants makes on selling a new build? E.g. if someone visited a display and purchased a new build from Domaine Homes. Is it similar to a real estate agent’s commission?

I ask, because I want to knock the commission amount off my new build...hopefully!

we saw how much the real estate agent commission is for the land, it was indicated on our land contract how much everyone got. not sure what it was called ours got 5k, we only saw him the day we met the sales guy, he was just standing on the side which was weird didn't do anything at all but got the 5k.lol not sure about the sales agent maybe they get commission from the developers/builders company didnt see any on my contract.

Why would you want to know off their commission? That’s their livelihood..

Obviously the builder will still pay them a commission. It will just be less.

For example if I know they get paid 2%, and my build price is 300k. I can negotiate 6k off, and then the builder will just pay them 2% for 294k.

I therefore have a bit of an idea of how much I can negotiate for before getting into the builders actual margin.

I really hope they do not help you at all. Trying to screw your sales agent for their commission is scummy. Our sales consultant deserved every single cent if not more than he got.

Struggling to keep their jobs, the reality is they are being replaced by apps

Think he just want to haggle a bit more,idk. Some deserve every cent but unfortunately some doesnt. Honestly if they do not help then no sales=no commission.

I don’t understand what’s “scummy”. The sale consultant still gets a commission for his or her sale.

This is literally about negotiating. By knowing how much commission the sales consultant gets, I can be more informed to negotiate a better price with the builder.

Thanks for your valuable input.
