Buying a Home Is Expensive Enough.

Your buyer’s agent doesn’t have to be another big expense.

NestEdge Realty provides experienced, local buyer representation while working to minimize—and often eliminate—what you pay your agent out of pocket. When the economics of the transaction allow it, you may even receive money back at closing.

The Rules Changed. Our Mission Didn’t.

Does This Mean I Have to Pay My Realtor Myself?

Not necessarily. Buyers and their agents now agree on compensation before touring homes. Depending on the property and the terms of the transaction, the seller may agree to cover some or all of that cost—but that is not guaranteed.

NestEdge works to structure each transaction so that your out-of-pocket buyer-agent cost is as low as possible. In many transactions, our buyers pay nothing to their agent out of pocket.

Before you make an offer, we will explain exactly how compensation works for that particular property. No surprises after you are already emotionally invested in a home.

Expert Representation. Less Out of Pocket.

What Could I Actually Pay?

SELLER COVERS THE AGREED BUYER-AGENT COMPENSATION

Your cost: $0 out of pocket. You receive complete NestEdge representation without paying your agent separately.

SELLER COVERS ONLY PART OF THE AGREED COMPENSATION

NestEdge may reduce or restructure its fee rather than automatically requiring you to pay the entire difference. Our goal is to minimize—and often eliminate—the gap.

THE TRANSACTION PROVIDES MORE COMPENSATION THAN NESTEDGE REQUIRES

You may qualify for a buyer rebate or closing credit, when permitted by the transaction, your lender and applicable law.

Every home and transaction is different. We will review the actual numbers with you before you make an offer.

Lower out-of-pocket costs should not mean lower-quality representation. Your NestEdge buyer’s agent will help you:

• Search for homes that fit your needs

• Attend your showings

• Evaluate asking prices and comparable sales

• Understand local communities, school districts and property taxes

• Structure and negotiate your offer

• Coordinate with your lender, attorney and inspector

• Evaluate inspection findings and negotiate issues when appropriate

• Manage appraisal, financing and contract milestones

• Stay involved through the final walkthrough and closing

You receive an experienced, local real estate professional protecting your interests throughout the transaction. We have simply built a business model that does not require every buyer transaction to generate a traditional brokerage fee.

FAQs

Local Knowledge Matters.

What You Will Know Before Making an Offer

A home is more than its price, bedroom count and listing photos. NestEdge agents help buyers understand the factors that can materially affect a purchase, including property taxes, school districts, comparable sales, local competition, municipal requirements, septic and well systems, inspection considerations, commuting options and potential resale value.

For every home you are seriously considering, we will also explain:

• What buyer-agent compensation may be available

• Whether additional seller-paid compensation can be negotiated

• What NestEdge would require for that transaction

• Whether you could have any out-of-pocket agent cost

• Whether a buyer rebate may be available

We specialize in Westchester County, Putnam County, Dutchess County and the surrounding Hudson Valley. Whether you are buying your first home, moving locally or relocating from New York City, Brooklyn or Northern New Jersey, we will help you understand both the house and the community around it.
