Seller Commission Savings: Performance-Based Listing vs. 3% Traditional
Listing commissions are negotiable in Utah. A traditional listing agent typically charges 3%. DiscountAgent.com uses a Performance-Based Listing (PBL) model with three tiers built into one listing agreement — you only pay for the marketing actually used:
- 1% — Someone You Know Buys. A friend, family member, or neighbor decides to buy your home. No buyer agent is involved, so the total commission is just 1%.
- 2% — DiscountAgent.com Finds the Buyer. We market your home and find an unrepresented buyer through open houses, sign calls, or online leads. Total commission stays at 2%.
- 1.5% — Cooperating Broker Brings the Buyer (Standard). A buyer agent from another brokerage brings the buyer. We handle your side for just 1.5%; buyer agent compensation is negotiated separately.
The table below shows the listing-side dollar difference at price tiers representative of Salt Lake County 2025 closed sales. The 1.5% column is the standard tier (most common scenario) and the 1% column is the lowest tier (cooperating broker not involved).
| Sold Price | 3% Traditional | 1.5% PBL (Standard) | 1% PBL (Lowest) | Max Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $355,000 (2025 condo median) | $10,650 | $5,325 | $3,550 | $7,100 |
| $453,450 (2025 townhouse median) | $13,604 | $6,802 | $4,535 | $9,069 |
| $500,000 | $15,000 | $7,500 | $5,000 | $10,000 |
| $625,500 (2025 SF median) | $18,765 | $9,383 | $6,255 | $12,510 |
| $737,650 (2025 SF average) | $22,130 | $11,065 | $7,377 | $14,753 |
| $900,000 | $27,000 | $13,500 | $9,000 | $18,000 |
| $1,200,000 | $36,000 | $18,000 | $12,000 | $24,000 |
Listing-side commission only. The 2% PBL tier (DiscountAgent.com finds the buyer) reflects total commission since no outside buyer agent is involved. Max Savings column shows traditional 3% versus the 1% PBL tier (someone the seller knows buys). Buyer agent compensation negotiated separately.
