Before the N.A.R. Settlement (Aug 2024), residential real estate listing fees were typically paid by the seller with the total fee being split between the seller's broker and the buyer's broker. For example, a 6% listing fee meant that most likely 3% of the sold price would be paid by the seller to the seller's broker and 3% to the buyer's broker as commission. Today, the buyer's broker portion has been removed (or rather "moved" to a different place in the transaction).

Aside from that new practice, which so far has minimally impacted "business-as-usual," we are reducing the fee our client owes us to 0%. Any concessions paid by the seller to the buyer's broker would be negotiable, as is any term and condition of the Purchase Agreement. Therefore, not only can we save you money by completely waiving our fee, but we can also leverage part of the savings to motivate agents to sell our listings over any others, even their own. You save as much as 2 to 4%, and you get a luxury product just like you would from a fancy, big-box brand that charges an enormous fee. (Keep in mind, 4% is $40,000 per 1-million dollars; e.g. if your home were to sell for $5,000,000, selling it with us could save you as much as $200,000 in commission-based fees.)  We like to call this type of savings a "no-brainer," especially since you still get a full-service, experienced and talented lead agent who delivers a better product than the competition.

To top it off, we will donate $500 of any purchase transaction commissions we receive to charity. 

DISCLAIMER: All the numbers provided above are assumptive and used only as examples to describe the theoretical savings within our listing model. Upon request, our broker can provide prospective sellers with precise estimates based on individual scenarios.

Zero percent commission means we are 100% committed to doing the only thing that elevates our brand by selling your home for free – and that is to blow you away with the results. We wouldn’t do it for free for any other reason! Without a commission, we depend entirely on your resounding 5-star testimonial and enthusiastic referrals to gain value for our business. We don’t believe we are entitled to your listing. The boldest pledge we can make is to promise that no one will work harder to deliver record-breaking results. Let me assure you; this is not a gimmick but rather a carefully designed strategy to plant us firmly in front of the competition as we grow our brand and expand our reputation. We are devoted to removing barriers and establishing a decisive, competitive edge. Our objective is to build up new inventory, curate beautiful and compelling marketing, substantially increase and leverage our clients’ proceeds, invigorate the luxury market, scare the pants off our competition, and put you first. We want beautiful homes to stage, photograph, and produce other high-end marketing materials like property videos, virtual tours, print media, and more. Listing with the Pollaro Group before this extraordinary promo expires can save you a substantial amount of money, while at the same time giving us the opportunity to demonstrate how we attain ad-worthy results. To the select few who find immediate value in the timing of this offer, we can confidently say it is hands-down the best deal ever made available to sellers in the luxury home market.

If you received a letter from us, there is a reason. We have not mass mailed these offers (and never will). In fact, we consider them confidential, as they are precisely targeted and designed strictly to assist us in acquiring select "trophy" properties we would gladly give up our fee for the opportunity to list and sell. We are NOT a discount brokerage. In fact, we have an extraordinarily high-end listing product similar to (and in many ways better than) the most exclusive luxury brands. We are currently offering strategic, limited-time discounts to give ourselves and our clients an advantage in this market as we grow our brand and expand our reputation. Most likely your neighbor did not receive a letter from us. Therefore, while certain aspects of our promotions may eventually expire, we will never lose the opportunity to list your home over fees. And because we do not advertise our discounts, your neighbors will never know you got a deal.

Yes! For purchases that close at or above $2,000,000, we can offer a commission refund. How much depends on how much commission the seller is willing to pay on your behalf. Since the new N.A.R. Settlement Agreement (effective Aug 2024), the buyer's broker compensation is negotiated upfront by the Buyer and the Buyer's broker -- not the Seller or the Seller's broker. However, it is still common practice to negotiate in a Purchase Agreement for the Seller to pay some or all of it for you.

Our minimum buyer fee is 2%. That means, if the seller covers 2%, there would be no refund. However, if the seller covers 2.5%, you could be eligible to receive up to a 0.5% refund. The maximum refund, regardless of percentage, is $20,000; e.g. a $4,000,000 purchase with a 3% commission paid by the seller would have a maximum refund of $20,000.

DISCLAIMER: Mortgage lending guidelines can put further limitations on the total refund/credit/rebate a buyer is allowed to receive from an agent, seller, or the lender itself. We can only refund a portion of our commission when it is legal, ethical, meets all guidelines, and is allowed by all parties.

There is absolutely no catch. Our promotions are limited and precise. We design them not only to put ourselves in front of our competition but also to do it in a way that is, first and foremost, entirely advantageous to our clients. All we want is the credit.

Note: Many agents and brokerages spend thousands of dollars to target leads. We, on the other hand, are investing in the client, not a lead.
