Liquidation Sensation Fee Structure
• A 5% Buyers premium will be attached to every successful bid, over and above the bid price.
Trademark Properties becomes the selling agent but will only work for split fees as follows: Listing Agreements already in effect will apply. They must be turned in to the Trademark representative handling your property. In the scenario of a property being entered into the auction that is already listed:
For residential listings, Trademark Properties will receive 50% of listing fees or a 3% commission on the selling side, whichever is higher. If a residential property is entered into the auction and sells prior to the auction, Trademark Properties will receive a 3% maximum exposure fee from the seller. For multi-family, raw land, and commercial properties Trademark Properties will receive a 5% commission on the selling side or 50% of listing fees, whichever is greater. If a multi-family, commercial, or raw land deal sold prior to auction Trademark Properties will receive a 5% maximum exposure fee from the seller. If the buyer has registered a sc licensed real estate agent as their agent, Trademark Properties will pay a 1% referral fee from the Trademark portion of the commission. Any agent that is not pre-registered by their buyer will not be protected on compensation.
EXAMPLE:
1. Property is listed currently for $125,000 and has a 6% commission. 3% to the listing agent and
3% to the co-broke agent. The property sells at auction for $100,000.
The buyer pays $105,000 for the property. 5% goes to Trademark Properties as a buyer premium. The commission is calculated on the $100,000 successful bid price. In this scenario, $3,000 would go to Listing Agent. $3,000 would go to Trademark Properties (i.e. selling agent). If the buyer has pre-registered with an agent helping them, the buyer’s agent will receive a 1% referral fee paid by the Trademark portion of the commission.
