You Found the Home. DUFFY Thinks That Work Should Count.

Most buyers already search online. DUFFY does not pretend opening the door is the whole job. You bring us the opportunity; we add access, investigation, offer strategy, negotiation, contract protection and closing coordination.

DUFFY Does Not Quietly Keep Compensation Above the Fee You Agreed to Pay.

In the late 1990s, buyers started doing something new: sending lists of homes they found online. Some were perfect. Some were wildly different from what they first said they wanted. That was the point. Online search expanded what buyers could see.

As online search grew, buyers began doing more of the discovery themselves. DUFFY believed the fee should reflect that change while preserving the representation and protection buyers need.

DUFFY's buyer representation fee is 1.5%. The model combines a modern fee with serious work before the offer, through the contract and all the way to closing.

The Work Behind the Finder Fee

You Find the Home. DUFFY Helps You Get In Quickly and Buy With a Plan.

DUFFY combines fast access, a 1.5% buyer fee, flexible representation where appropriate and a protection process that begins before the offer feels urgent.

The Finder Fee Is Math—not a Giveaway.

Seller-paid buyer compensation

A seller may offer compensation to the buyer's agent through the listing or negotiated terms.

DUFFY buyer fee

DUFFY's buyer representation fee is 1.5%, not an automatic 3%.

You get the difference

If seller-paid compensation exceeds DUFFY's agreed 1.5% fee, the available difference may be credited or paid to you as the DUFFY Finder Fee, subject to the transaction terms, lender approval, applicable law and closing instructions.

You find the home. DUFFY helps you decide whether it is worth buying and protects the purchase. If seller-paid compensation exceeds DUFFY’s agreed fee and the transaction allows it, the available difference may come back to you.

Finding It Online Is Easy. Buying It Well Is the Work.

Online photos are useful, but they cannot reveal the full condition, neighborhood, contract risk or cost of ownership. DUFFY helps you see the home, ask better questions, study the area, understand the money, write the offer and protect the contract.

What DUFFY Adds After You Find the Listing

Start Before The House Appears

Start when buying becomes a possibility. Early financing and neighborhood preparation make the right home easier to act on.

Search With Better Guardrails

Use online search to narrow the possibilities, then verify the condition, location and value before you commit.

Use The Private Buyer Protection Timeline

DUFFY clients receive a private 24/7 roadmap covering financing, neighborhoods, inspections, contract deadlines and closing preparation.

Get In Fast

When the right home appears, DUFFY coordinates access quickly so you can decide while the opportunity is still available.

Buy Smarter

DUFFY helps with investigation, offer strategy, negotiation, contract review and closing coordination so your search can become a protected purchase.

Online Search Finds the Possibility. Good Representation Protects the Purchase.

The home you love online may be even better in person—or it may have issues the photos did not reveal.

That is why DUFFY does not just reward the search. We add the protection around it: lender strategy, neighborhood investigation, the 7 Key Questions, contract review, offer strategy, and clear steps so you can act like a real buyer when the right house appears.

The search starts online. The protection starts with DUFFY.

Questions buyers ask about the DUFFY Finder Fee

What is the DUFFY Finder Fee?

When you are a DUFFY buyer client and you find the home, DUFFY's 1.5% buyer representation fee may be less than the seller-paid buyer compensation. When that happens, DUFFY gives you the difference as the DUFFY Finder Fee.

Why does DUFFY offer a Finder Fee?

Because the internet changed buyer behavior. Buyers often search online, identify homes, and tell agents what they want to see. DUFFY decided to partner with that reality instead of pretending buyers are not doing meaningful search work.

Does DUFFY still represent buyers?

Yes. DUFFY helps you get in fast, prepare early, investigate the home and neighborhood, write the offer, negotiate, protect the contract, and move toward closing.

Why is DUFFY's buyer fee 1.5% instead of 3%?

DUFFY has done buyer representation differently since 2002 because the workload changed when homes, photos, details, maps, and search tools moved online.

Why should I hire DUFFY before I find the home?

The smartest buyer work starts before the house appears: lender work, neighborhood questions, partner alignment, search strategy, offer readiness, and the private Buyer Protection Timeline.

Buy With a Clearer Fee, Faster Access and Serious Protection.

DUFFY has represented Atlanta buyers differently since 2002 because the way people find homes changed. The service and fee should reflect how buyers actually search today.

Buyer Agreement Warning

Avoid The 3% Buyer Agreement Trap

If your agent wants 3% and the seller pays less, you may owe the gap at closing. DUFFY's buyer representation fee is 1.5%.
