Yes, Houwzer is a fully licensed real estate brokerage. Our agents are state-licensed REALTORS® with full MLS access and the same tools and representation you’d expect from any traditional brokerage — at a fraction of the cost.
Sellers pay a 1% listing fee rather than the traditional 2.5–3% seller’s agent commission, which can save most sellers thousands at closing. Our full-service listing includes professional photography, MLS listing, pricing strategy, negotiation, and agent support through closing.
It depends on the seller. We give half of the buyer’s agent commission back to you at closing.* If the seller doesn’t offer a buyer’s agent commission, you pay 1%. Talk to your Houwzer agent to find out what applies to your situation.
*Some lenders cap rebates based on your down payment, so check with your lender. Some states prohibit buyer rebates.
