Since the August 2024 NAR settlement, buyers must sign a commission agreement before touring a home — locking in a rate before you know if you even like the place. On GOZ, you see what the seller is offering before you tour, before you sign anything, before you're emotionally attached. You decide what makes sense.
Every GOZ listing shows what the seller is offering a buyer's agent upfront. Not buried in disclosures. Not revealed at closing. Right on the card, before you tour.
Click any listing to get the agent's real phone and email. You can work with the listing agent directly, bring your own real estate attorney, or represent yourself. No platform sitting in the middle, no timed acceptance window.
Transparent commissions mean nobody is pocketing anything without you knowing. What the seller offers is what gets paid. No hidden steering, no Rocket Mortgage referral bonus, no platform that profits from sending you to their preferred lender.
GOZ is free for buyers forever. We only earn 3% of the agent's commission when a deal closes through our platform. If you go without an agent entirely, you pay us nothing. The seller's agent handles the paperwork — or you use a real estate attorney.
You can contact the listing agent directly. They represent the seller, but they can still handle the transaction. Many buyers also hire a real estate attorney for a flat fee — often $500–$1,500 — to review contracts and handle the closing. That's usually far less than a full buyer's agent commission.
✓ Fully supported on GOZSince August 2024, you must sign a buyer representation agreement before touring most homes — and that locks in a commission rate. On GOZ, you see what the seller already agreed to offer before you commit to anything. Know your exposure before you fall in love with the house.
✓ Commission shown pre-tour, alwaysIf the seller is offering a buyer's agent commission (shown on every GOZ listing), and you bring a buyer's agent, that fee covers your agent. If you go without an agent, that commission may stay with the seller — or you can negotiate it as a price reduction. Either way, you'll know the number before you walk through the door.
✓ No surprises at closingList your home free as a licensed agent listing, or sell it yourself with a FSBO listing — pay at closing only. Either way, your commission is shown publicly — exactly what the NAR settlement requires — and buyers contact you directly.
Selling yourself? We support that. Post a FSBO listing for a flat one-time fee. Your contact info goes straight to buyers. No agent required, no recurring charges, no percentage taken until you decide to close through an agent on our platform.
Not to sit longer. Not to be buried. Not to be shown to the wrong people at the wrong price to generate ad revenue for a platform that profits from your confusion. We built this as a sanctuary — for buyers who want straight answers, agents who want to keep what they earn, and sellers who are tired of the extraction.
We're new. We have real listings from real agents. We're building this in public, transparently — the way real estate should have worked all along. Pensacola, FL · TransBid LLC
