Questions
What are the new NAR commission rules?
Effective August 17, 2024, buyers must have formal agreements with agents specifying fixed fees before property viewings. Sellers can directly allocate funds for buyer incentives through concessions rather than traditional commission structures.
How does Slice Realty save clients money?
We use fixed-fee structures instead of traditional percentage-based commissions. Buyers keep excess funds beyond our fee when sellers offer more, while sellers control assistance amounts through direct concessions.
What services do you offer?
We specialize in residential real estate transactions including existing homes, new construction, and commission optimization strategies. Our services cover buyer representation, seller advisory, and transaction management under updated NAR regulations.
How does your commission rebate work?
Our buyers receive rebates when sellers offer more than our fixed fee. This requires formal agreements before viewings, ensuring buyers benefit directly from available incentives while maintaining complete transparency.
What areas do you serve?
Based in Denver, we serve all Colorado real estate markets with specialized expertise in the Front Range region. Our local knowledge extends to Denver Metro, Colorado Springs, and mountain resort communities.

Great people to work with! They helped us move through the process seamlessly and made closing such a simple exercise. Would strongly recommend working with them whether this is your first house or 10th house. They're great and we will always look to this team in the future.

Tommy helped us buy a home in Denver in a hot market while we were out of state and was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. He was flexible with our needs and was available when we needed, ultimately helping us win an offer in a competitive market. The extra buyers slice savings were great and Id likely come back to him for a future purchase.

We were very thankful to have chosen Tommy at Buyer's Slice when building our new home. We've bought and sold many homes in the past, but this was our first new-build and we were glad to have TOmmy's help. He was always responsive and helped guide us through the process. We were especially thankful for our "buyer's slice" of his realtor's commission because it really went a long way in making buying a house in Colorado more affordable! We used it to buy points to lower our interest rate--even our loan officer kept remarking on how low our interest rate was. We weren't sure we'd ever be able to

It was very easy and efficient to work with Tommy and Buyers Slice when we bought our home. Plus, we were able to get a great credit from the portion of his commission when we closed - so we were able to bring less to the table! Tommy is organized and detailed and his model really puts the buyer in the drivers seat and puts money in your pocket. It's just a no brainer.

Tommy recently helped us purchase a home in Boulder, during the height of this pandemic. We reside in Mississippi and were only able to travel to Boulder twice during the entire process. Tommy not only brought the stress level of buying a home (from long distance) down to ZERO, he helped us find the home of our dreams and work out a win-win deal with the seller as well. We absolutely recommend Tommy to anyone interested in buying or selling a home, and are grateful to him for all he did to make the process easy and pleasurable.

Tommy was a phenomenal realtor! It came in last minute after I had issues with a different realtor and still managed to help me close on time. He had great communication and great follow up with all parties. I was moving from out of state and offered to help me with whatever I may need and even checked on how I was doing a few months later. He truly cares about his clients, knows his stuff, and is just phenomenal. I work in the mortgage industry myself and can say he is one of the best!!
