Not sure I understand your question... The buyers pay interest on their loans. Did you mean commissions?

Yes, it is possible to make a real estate sale without any interest, although it may not be the most beneficial option for either the buyer or the seller. You might consider offering the buyer a discount on the purchase price if they are willing to pay the full amount up front in a lump sum.

It is possible to make a real estate sale with zero interest, but it would require an agreement between the buyer and the seller. The buyer and the seller could agree to a no-interest or low-interest loan for the purchase, or the seller could choose to sell the property for a lower price in exchange for not charging interest. However, it is important to note that such arrangements may not be legally recognized or enforceable, and may also have tax implications for both parties. It is always recommended to consult a real estate professional or financial advisor for guidance on these types of transactions.

It sounds to me that you are a seller. When you sell you do not have interest on the sale. You will have closing costs and expenses.

Interest rates vary depending on the market and with a buyers credit score. A lender can determine the current interest rate for a buyer rather quickly. The only way to have 0 interest is to buy the house cash.

Not sure what the question is. But with a cash purchase that is the only way you will not pay interest since there is no loan if that is what you are referring to.

Yes, a seller can offer owner financing with zero percent interest on a real estate transaction, but it comes with significant tax and legal considerations that require professional guidance before structuring the deal. In Floral City and throughout Citrus County, Florida, seller financing arrangements are not uncommon on rural, acreage, or unconventional properties that may not qualify for traditional lending. The IRS, however, applies imputed interest rules: if you carry a note at below-market rates, the IRS can treat a portion of your payments as taxable interest income regardless of what the note says. The applicable federal rate (AFR) published monthly by the IRS is the floor. Before structuring any zero or below-market seller financing arrangement, consult a tax advisor and a real estate attorney. The note and mortgage must be properly drafted, recorded, and structured to protect both parties and satisfy IRS rules. Done correctly, seller financing can be a flexible tool. Done informally, it creates tax exposure and enforcement risk. Kevin Neely & Kaitlynd Robbins | K2 Sells, Keller Williams Elite Partners

You can sell a property and carry the note having the buyer pay you zero-interest. If you are need to have a no interest loan on the property for religious reasons (or personal philosophy) there are loans that charge an up-front premium instead of interest and then the buyer only has a monthly principal payment.
