Hi eK,
The first question most buyers' agents wil ask you - you're aware that buyers' agents are paid by the sellers, correct? Our commissions are derived from a split of the seller-paid commission. (If you already knew that, I apologize, there are many first-time buyers on the forums here.) You don't need to pay anything directly to a buyer's agent if it's an MLS-listed home.
If you're past that point, and are trying to work a different angle - Is there already a listing/commission agreement the seller has signed with the listing agent? We'd need to know the situation before commenting on commissions/rates.
Most of the time, the only reason a buyer would hire a buyer's agent on an hourly/flat fee basis is when the home is FSBO. Feel free to email/call me with details.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I know the buyer's agent get's paid by the seller but ultimately it comes out of buyer's pockets no matter what.
The home I am looking for is not a FSBO. It's a new construction. The reason I want to hire an agent for a flat/hourly fee is that the agent can then refund me the 3% comission back to me.

ATTORNEY... in new constructions, dont waste your time with anything less than a full blown RE attorney. they can collect the 3% and refund the balance too, as long as they have a license ( and most of them do )
its cheaper to maintain than the notary one in most jurisdictions
you have no idea the horror stories that we get here...
ESPECIALLY if the home isnt completed yet

lmao!
if the agent means so little to the transaction for you, why don't you just offer the developer 3% less then what you expect to pay now?
same outcome for you. less hassle for everybody involved. leave the negotiation of commission reduction up to the Seller and the Seller's Agent in this instance.
on the other hand, a lone tear drips down my cheek for the agent who will be no more... willing to take a change from a customer with no loyalty.
by the way I'm free for work. starting rate $150/hr.

"if the agent means so little to the transaction for you, why don't you just offer the developer 3% less then what you expect to pay now?"
Caleb, you know the answer to this. It's almost always the case that the full commission (buyers + sellers) is included in the selling agents' contract. If you approach them, they're going to then fight to keep the full commission. It's not even worth the hassle in most cases.
"you're aware that buyers' agents are paid by the sellers, correct?"
Sam, I think most of us are really tired of that old sales pitch. First off, the cost does ultimately come out of the buyer's end. Second, because you're being paid by the seller, it's very hard for you to make a case that you're looking out for the buyer's interests and not your own. It's called a conflict of interest, just one of many things that makes your industry so rotten and anti-customer.

You can hire a carrier pigeon to shuffle the papers. If you don't have an agent, the Sellers Agent will have to correspond with you, by default.
If you mentally draw the price negotiations line 3% below what you would offer with a Buyers agent, you are even on the price issue.
The only thing you are without, is someone to act like they are covering your a$s (or actually cover your As$). Maybe, the pigeon could also be inserted there.
An Agent, good, bad, or indifferent, will not do their part, well, badly, or indifferently, for a pittance, due to the liability issues. If you screw it up, you could sue them, even though you paid them a pittance, and you screwed it up.

I'll second the ATTORNEY recommendation. Attorneys make good carrier pigeons.
You might also go to Redfin.com. I hear they are looking for work and they may have seen a builder's addendum before and be able to recognize which of the issues in it are negotaible for you. On the financing form they may be able to help you establish what a common amount for Seller paid costs is and in the inspection form they may be able to actually keep the schedule on track.
For those interested in agency relationships in Washington State it is actually a statutory obligation, as apposed to the feduciary resposcibility. This means it is specifically governed by a Washington State law. Here's a copy of a summary of the Law. In here you will find out why the risk to a licensed agent is not worth less than a full commission.

Now that we have the full picture, it doesn't make sense for you to pay a buyer's agent a flat fee. You're not looking for an agent, just a transaction coordinator, see the attorney recs above. Agents will be held up as liable if you transaction went south, whether or not they were just a paper-pusher for you. Not worth the liability to the broker.

Definitely go with the attorney. I would like to see how many revisions they make to the builders contract. I'm sure the price will be the first thing that's acceptable in that negotiation.

Thanks all you helpful folks! I think an option of an attorny sounds good here. Any recommendations in this regard?
I don't get this though why would an attorny be able to work for a much lesser fee when being more qualified than a real estate agent in this case? If I were an agent I'd be first in line to work with a case where I get a few hundred dollars just for puttin my name in the sellers agency field.
I mean if an attorny can do it, why not an RE agent?

An agent can do it, but they'll be assumed to be representing the buyer. Even if they just give you paperwork with their name on it, they will be slapped with the representative label if legal issues come up.
An attorney can do paperwork without being required to represent you.

I mean when an attorny with a real estate license represents me for an hourly or a fixed flat fee, I don't see this as any different than a real estate agent doing it. It just feels odd that an agent would pass on such an apportunity and let an attorny do the job that they could have done themselves.
Anyways I am still looking for recommendations, so if you know somebody are you yourself are willing to work with me, please let me know.

i recommended an attorney because the developer will employ 4-5 of them who's expressed goal is to make the contract hard to get out of and completely 1-sided in favor of the sellers, not because i thought that an attorney fit into your pay model better.
to answer your question though, RE agents aren't dont deal with contract law all that much. the contracts used in 80-95% of transactions are standard forms. the exceptions being new construction and short sale(semi-standard, but time and energy consuming none the less.
so to be clear, if you go on redfin you can find a reduced commish agent who would be willing to throw caution to the wind and shuffle the papers for less and take any legal risks, but the attorney is better equipped to protect you, the client from the legal issues that the REAs above say make the risk "unacceptable" above...
generally flat fees and hourly rates are not offered, but you can go to any agent and negotiate their rates. its an individual thing though.

I agree that an attorny with a real estate license would be more valuable to have on my side than a real estate agent. I talked to a couple of them and they seemed interested in working with me for an hourly fee.
Redfin only returns 50% comission and I don't think they work for a flat fee so I am hesitant to contact them.
Do let me know if there are any more recommendations though.
Thanks.

it of course depends on the cost of the home, but as i have said fees are negotiable. contact individual agents and seem if they are receptive to the idea of discussing a flat fee or hourly charge. no brokerage specializes in 500-1000 dollar transactions to my knowledge.
i would suggest consulting craigslist, but i feel like scraping the bottom of the barrel for cost might do you a disservice in the long run... you would need to be very knowledgeable about what they are doing at all times.

In SC, attorneys can represent you without a Re license. They are exempt from licensing requirements. I don't know if Atty would need RE license in WA. It seems redundant for an atty to need one.
They may also have the same liability concerns that an RE agent should have. They are going to cost more than a carrier pigeon per hour and may not actually save you a dime of commission, or sales price.
If you are willing to pay someone 100-300 dollars per hour to answer emails and fax docs (and not represent you) , then you may as well let the Seller's agent pay your agent, and drive a really hard negotiation process.
Anyway, GLWT! I hope you will keep us informed on how this works out. I find it fascinating and titillating. I have engaged email alerts.

The whole liability excuse is BS and nothing more than an attempt to keep commissions set as a percentage of sale price. Real estate transaction occur everyday all over the country with buyer agent compensation being far less than $1000. A $10K building lot with 6% commission will only bring ??? to the buyer's broker. This is just another example of deception in our so called profession.
I have "represented" buyers interested in FSBO's for $500 and do a little more than just shuffle papers back and forth if necessary. Ten minutes here, fifteen minutes there, an hour or two back and forth and the hourly compensation seems pretty nice.
There is very little risk associated with selling real estate if you simply do your job.

Had you been offered $25 an hour for the 2 or 3 hours of paper shuffling, would you have done it? The op never says what they are willing to pay this paper shuffler. There were no offers of flat fee. Then others say oh you could get an attorney to do it. I don't know any attorneys that will work for less money per hour than paper shufflers, or RE agents.
I was trying to point out that there is a difference between agency representation and paper shuffling. And that the law does not allow a RE agent to reduce their level of duty to that of clerk. Not to mention that the classification of paper shuffler would not change the commission split.
I never said anything close to you have to pay 3%, or go it alone because only 3% is fair due to the liability involved. That would be deceptive NAR BS. I said no agent will do it for a pittance because of the liability involved. And by liability, I mean the duties of agency versus the duties of paper shuffling.
And if WA is a an attorney closing state, the OP will have an attorney, that they are paying for, to represent them in the contract law issues etc, and I would like to know the response from this attorney or any other for that matter, if they are asked to shuffle some papers for the OP. Chances are there will be a brief discussion about an attorney being an attorney, and not a paper shuffler. And that the law does not allow an attorney to act like they are not an attorney to save an RE buyer money. Then there will be an hourly rate discussed that will eclipse the cost of a discount or flat fee agent.

Exactly. My issue with all this is that I think its much easier to to just set a price that you want the property for and offer that. Who cares if the Seller pays 6% or 3%? At the end of the day its what you want to pay for the property. The problem here is that OP is focusing on the other costs associated with the transaction and not the bottom line "what do you want to pay?"
If you expect to get the property for $10K and I can get it for you at $7K do you really care that you did all the work and I only wrote the contract and told you to offer less? You shouldn't, you should just be happy that you paid less then you would have had you gone it alone.

I'm pretty sure an attorney can review and coordinate a contract for you in the state of washington. It isn't just the liability, it's the risk of non-payment. In every instance I can imagine, you will pay an attorney hourly, whether or not you close the sale. An agent typically only gets paid if the sale closes.
Keep in mind that there may be some tax issues that keep an agent from returning the full commission. I would go the attorney route, asking for no commission, beating them up on the price, and requiring attorneys fees be paid.
Which builder is it?

I'm not trying to be argumentative but that isn't what the OP says they want. They imply, very vaguely, that they just want someone to do the legwork, and monitor emails for required confabs with seller's agent. They mention negotiating for themselves. They don't say they need help understanding the contract. They want an agent to do clerical work.
Then it was suggested they get an attorney, who would according to suggesters be even more competent than an agent, at doing, as best as I can determine, next to nothing, for next to nothing. It doesn't make any sense. The implication is that there is no way a buyers agent could actually earn there money so I (OP) want them to do the easy part, for a small part of the money. They neglect to acknowledge that the MLS commission split, and the listing contract commission rate, is set, and that there is possibly, no probably, nothing an agent, an attorney, or a paper shuffler paralegal clerk gopher can do about it. Again it makes no sense.
They don't want or need to be represented, they just want to be helped, but they seem to want to be helped by someone who is competent enough to represent them. Again it doesn't make sense. Partly because of the esoteric nature of the NAR commission structure racket, and partially because of agency law, there is no guarantedd benefit to the buyer, by doing it this way.
The reason I reply to your answer is because if anybody can clarify the issues involved, you can. In SC, attorneys officiate the closing, and each side can have one if desired, usually the buyer selects the one if there will only be one, when submitting the offer. So, if WA is the same, they are going to have an attorney, by default. This attorney may, for additional fees, agree to babysit their deal for them as it proceeds through contingencies, they may not. And then, for how much? Hell, I don't care but it feels to me that they are being half informed, here. I digress.

Attorneys are not required at closing in Washington...that being said, if you are having someone act as your agent to get the commission rate, they must either be a licensed agent (who unless they are a broker, you are going to have a hard time getting a broker to sign off), or an attorney may represent you for contract review. The best way to accomplish their goal is the latter. Even though this may be more per hour than they are looking to pay, but may be the lowest amount out of pocket. A paralegal could not represent them legally or collect the commission. An attorney would not collect commission, but would be able to draft an appropriate contract around it.
OP: I know a real estate attorney in WA. I'm not sure if he does this sort of representation, but you can email me and I will introduce you. I could also put you in touch with my broker. He has, on occasion, done untraditional compensation structures.

The OP does mention "fixed fee" and that is why I answered. I agree there is a difference between "agency representation" and paper shuffling. However, I have found that more often than not that agents do very little actual "representation" and much more paper shuffling. I find the use of the word "representation" a bit over the top and prefer to say things like "working with". The intent of my comment was to diminish the misleading excuse of liability and how it relates to what we get paid to follow a transaction to it's conclusion.
Have I worked for $25 an hour? I don't know. It sure seems like I have from time to time. I also have worked for more than $1000 an hour. I don't market my services for any specific discounted amount and do have a minimum bottom line. I will certainly work with, represent and shuffle paper back and forth for $500 if that's what is called for on occassion. At the end of the day it all adds up.

I got transfixed on the "hourly" element when all the FAREA members started suggesting the OP "FAREA" and hire an attorney, they're smarter and cheaper.
I also agree that "representation" and "liability" are to words that don't fit the lexicon, appropriately or exactly enough, in the case of RE transactions. They are used by the system to aggrandize the relationship of interested party, and party willing to assist interested party, in order to collect a commission.
When I say "liability" I mean the legally imposed responsibility, and when I say "represent" I mean to "work with" under those legally imposed responsibilities. I realize the distortions and the absurdity, and that these terms are perpetuated by a monopolistic cartel that is protecting a dying brand. Then I wish I lived in a "transactional" state.
And further, I think, you and I share as much agreement about these matters, as any two individuals to ever post on this site, and wear "agent" next to our profile name. I certainly intended no disses in your direction. You make more sense than 99.99% of the other Zillots.

Buyers agent on hourly/fixed fees
I am looking for buyer's agent in Seattle market that would work on hourly or fixed fee. We have already looked at the home we like and would do all the negotiations ourselves. I just need someone to shuttle all the papers between seller and me and send any emails that they get from the sellers agent.
Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks
