The 3% Lie That’s Costing Homebuyers Thousands

You’re buying a house. You find the perfect one—$500,000, move-in ready. Then the bill hits: $15,000 in realtor commissions. “Wait,” you think, “I did the legwork—why am I paying 3%?” You’re not alone. For years, buyers have swallowed the lie that hefty fees are just “how it’s done.” But what if you could ditch the middleman and keep that cash?

I’ve seen it firsthand: folks shelling out thousands to agents for paperwork they could’ve handled themselves. That’s why I built The Offer Haus. It’s not rocket science—it’s a platform where you write your own offer in 10 minutes, no realtor required. Answer a few questions, get your forms, submit it, done. Negotiations? Handled. Documents? All in one spot. The kicker: you pay a flat fee, not a percentage that balloons with your home’s price.

Take Sarah from Austin. She bought a $400,000 place last month. Traditional route? $12,000 in commissions. With us, she saved over $11,000—enough for a new roof or a killer vacation. The data backs it up: NAR says buyers often pay 2.5-3% in fees, even when sellers don’t cover it anymore. On a million-dollar home, that’s $30,000 gone. Why hand that over when you can DIY it?

Skeptical?

Good. Test it yourself.
