Seattle real estate market outlook for 2020

Expect the seller’s market to continue in 2020, though its not quite as crazy as it was two years ago. High demand and low supply indicate there will be no shortage of buyers for listed properties. Outsiders continue to relocate to Greater Seattle, attracted by the expansion of the tech industry (Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, etc) and the stability of other industry giants.

This is only reinforced by the many great attractions of the Puget Sound area and the mild climate. A seller’s market means big sales and fewer days-on-market for properties. For Seattle area real estate agents, its a great time to be in real estate --- especially if you work for a firm where agents keep 90- 100% commission, and in a market where homes are selling for an average of $700,000.

Big opportunities for broker and firm alike As a firm, we’re looking to capitalize on a ripe market, and build on last year’s growth. The BPE approach is to help our agents get even better, and add more agents to our team. Agents can expect an environment where independence is encouraged, and support is always available --- but only when you need it. We want agents that know what they need to do their best work, and are looking to get better.

Success for the agent is success for the client, and for BPE. Spend your time focusing on the client, the market, the property, and your own journey --- rather than mandatory meetings and other things that slow you down. Our offer to you: ---When a transaction closes, brokers will receive 90% of the listed commission. ---We allow brokers to reduce rates to compete and match cut-rate commissions companies, such as Redfin, who offer lower percentages. ---After a broker has paid $8,500 ($12,000 per two-person team, per calendar year) to the office, the broker will move to 100% commission. ---At 100% commission, the agent will pay a $185 processing fee and a $25 franchise fee for each closing.
