Real EstatePricing and Revenue Strategy3MediumBuyer$ explicit

A homebuyer wants to pay a real estate agent an hourly rate for limited advisory services instead of the typical 3% commission when buying directly from a landlord, but cannot find any agent offering this fee structure.

Traditional real estate agents work on commission, which is not cost-effective for this low-effort transaction where the buyer has already found the property. No flat-fee or hourly service is available in the buyer's local area.
