Self-Represented Buyer Workflow

Potentially lower your offer by up to ~2.5% without reducing seller net.

Buyer-agent compensation is often around 2% to 3% (roughly 2.4% to 2.5% on average), so self-represented buyers may be able to structure a lower offer while keeping seller proceeds similar. Zillow Offer Assistant is your end-to-end command center to coordinate showings, manage listing-agent conversations, draft offers, and track every deadline from first tour to closing.

Actual seller net depends on listing agreement terms, concessions, and negotiated deal structure.
