A buyer's agent provides services beyond touring, including negotiation and contract management. Factour covers tours only. If you need full representation, you can hire an agent for that step separately, often after finding the home you want.
The math behind it
On a $400K home at a 2.5% buyer agent commission, the buyer's agent earns $10,000. Under the 2024 NAR settlement, this fee must be negotiated directly between buyers and agents. It no longer defaults to the seller's listing agent splitting the commission.
Touring a for sale by owner home listed on Factour costs nothing. The owner hosts, no agent is involved, and there is no platform fee to either side. The largest saving is zero: pay nothing to see the home.
When you want a licensed agent present, agents on Factour set their own per-tour fee, subject to a $15 minimum. You pay that fee plus a flat $10 consumer platform fee. A temporary authorization is generally placed before the tour when possible, and capture occurs after the final property and 30-minute review window. There are no subscription fees or commitments beyond the single tour.
For buyers who want to tour homes without committing to full representation, the per-tour model costs a fraction of a buyer's agent commission. And on for sale by owner homes, the cost is zero. Hire an agent only when you want a professional present.
