Bright Home Auctions: The Smart Move

Fair. Transparent. Smarter Auctions.
Commission Transparency | Buyer Premium Capped at 2% | Agent Fees Capped at 2%

At Bright Home Auctions, buyers keep more of their money where it matters most—in their new home.
Unlike traditional auctions charging 10–12% premiums, we’ve flipped the script

  • Often no premium at all
  • Buyer Premium capped at just 2%
  • Agent Compensation capped at 2%
  • Total cost with agent: never more than 4%
  • Every fee displayed upfront

What Is a Buyer’s Premium?

A buyer’s premium is a fee added to the winning bid—usually hidden, usually high.

  • Standard Premium: 10-12%
  • Bright Home Auctions: Just 2%

How It Works:

  • Bright Home Auctions Premium – 2% Cap
    Often no premium at all
    Example: Budget $300,000 → Bid $294,000 + $6,000 = $300,000
  • Buyer With Agent – Up to 4% Total (2% Premium + 2% Agent Cap)
    Still far below industry standard
    Example: Budget $300,000 → Bid $288,000 + $12,000 = $300,000
  • Seller Flexibilit
    Sellers can cover the premium entirely—or split 1%/1% with the buyer.
