What changes when agents compete?
On Seeking Agents®, multiple agents can present their best offers up front-often including commission concessions, buyer credits, or enhanced service. In a traditional one-agent path, you may never see those alternatives side-by-side.
Total cost vs. headline rate
Your bottom line includes rate, lender fees, agent credits, and negotiation outcomes. Comparing only APR ignores money you could receive back at closing from a motivated agent.
- Agent credits: Can offset closing costs and cash-to-close.
- Timing & strategy: Aligning offer structure with market conditions can reduce concessions you give up elsewhere.
- Service trade-offs: Discounts should not weaken advocacy-compare scope, not just price.
When a traditional route still fits
If you already have a trusted agent relationship and they’re competitive on credits and service, you may be set. Otherwise, comparing options is a fast way to pressure-test costs.
