Buyers can use Aalto with or without an agent. In the Bay Area, some buyers have an agent who is typically paid 2.5% of the final sale price by the seller, but the amount is up to the seller.
There is no additional fee to use Aalto as a buyer. If a buyer chooses to have Aalto represent them in their home purchase, we offer up to 1.5% of the closing price as cash back at their close of escrow.
