Tour Salt Lake City Homes — Keep Half the Commission
Browse open houses in Salt Lake City — from historic bungalows in The Avenues to walkable urban living near Capitol Hill and 9th & 9th. Whether you're looking at tree-lined streets in Sugar House, classic homes in Yalecrest, or modern Downtown condos, open houses let you explore layouts, feel the neighborhood, and picture yourself living there.
Here's the problem: Most buyers attend open houses without understanding how commissions work. They think going unrepresented saves money. It doesn't. The seller has already agreed to pay a buyer's agent commission whether you have one or not. Without representation, that commission goes to the listing agent — not back to you.
The Commission Truth
Why "Going It Alone" Costs You Money
The Commission Doesn't Disappear
The buyer's agent commission is already built into the price. When you attend an open house without an agent, the listing agent doesn't reduce the price. They simply collect both sides of the commission.
Listing Agents Work for Sellers
Their job is to get the highest price for the seller. Without your own representation, you're negotiating against a professional who has a financial incentive to maximize the sale price — not protect your interests.
The Double-Commission Windfall
On a $575,000 Salt Lake City home, that's $17,250+ extra for the listing agent. You get nothing in return — no representation, no negotiation leverage, no expert guidance through inspections and closing.
