Harman Pannu vs a Traditional 6% Agent
The traditional model defaults to a full ~6% commission split between agents, with whatever service the assigned agent provides. Harman Pannu keeps the commission negotiable and transparent from the start, and brings specialized expertise most general agents do not. Here is how the two compare.
The bottom line
A traditional 6% agent can absolutely sell your home — but you may pay more and get a generalist. Harman Pannu offers a negotiable commission, specialized expertise, and direct broker service, which is why sellers and investors choose him over the default model.
