“We’re Only Paying 3%” — Here’s Exactly How to Respond (Without Creating Sales Resistance)
Realtors.
listen up.
When a seller says:
“We’re only offering 3%…”
Your job is not to jump into a pitch.
Never pitch.
Never start explaining why you're worth more.
They’ll tune you out before you finish your first sentence.
Here’s what to do instead:
Start by finding common ground.
“Hey, 100%—I hear you. And first off, I just want to say I appreciate you for wanting to offer 3%.”
Then you pivot back to the real objective:
“Let me ask you, are you more focused on paying less commission…Or walking away with more money from this transaction?”
Boom 💥
You’re back in control of the frame—without sounding like a salesperson.
Why this works:
✅ You aligned with their thinking first.
✅ You disarmed the tension.
✅ You refocused them on the real goal: net profit.
Because here’s the truth:
If the seller feels like you’re telling them what to do, they’ll resist.But if they feel like you’re just clarifying their priorities, they’ll listen.
💡 Objections aren’t problems. They’re just pressure & pressure only dissolves when you create connection.
