Revolutionizing Buyer’s Agency with the Paris Paradigm

   Ever felt like your agent’s incentives weren’t fully on your side? With the Paris Paradigm’s Inverse Commission™ and NEGOTIATOR® designation, we’ve flipped the script: Performance-Based Buyer’s Agency No more fixed-percentage fees that ignore effort.

Inverse Commission vs Traditional Commission

In low-inventory or seller-dominated markets, NEGOTIATORs® may not always be able to push the price down significantly due to competitive multiple-offer scenarios. However, what they can do is provide a strategic advantage through transparency, trust, and value-driven guidance. For instance, let’s break it down with an example. Scenario: Low-Inventory Market (Role Model Comparison) Listing Price: $1,000,000 Market Situation: 3 competing offers, requiring a budget of $1,100,000 to win the deal. 1. NEGOTIATOR® Approach: NEGOTIATOR®: "My compensation model is based on the Inverse Commission structure, where I get paid 50% of what I save you. To help you secure this home, I’ll ask for 2.5% to be…
