FAQ’s

We’re referring to our portion of the commission when your home settles. When selling a home, you agree to pay the listing brokerage a percentage of the selling price. The listing brokerage will cooperate, or split, that commission with a brokerage representing the buyer. Commissions in this market tend to range between 5% and 6% and are typically split evenly between the listing and selling brokerages. This means the listing brokerage will receive between 2.5% and 3%, plus any brokerage fees, to sell your home. With the ListSMART program, the commission to the listing brokerage can be as low as 1.5%, with no additional fees.

Most brokerages expect a minimum initial term of 180 days to market your home. Typically, you cannot terminate the agreement, even if you are unhappy with the service. This will have an adverse effect on the selling price if your home sits on the market for an extended period of time. We’re confident in our ability to provide a highly satisfying home selling experience so we put it in writing. Our listing agreement can be terminated with 3 days written notice for any reason.

Any fees, commissions, or contractual terms are negotiable between a licensee and consumer and must be part of a written listing agreement. The commission offered to the Buyer’s brokerage is always the Seller’s choice. Research suggests the market norm is between 2.5% and 3%. This means the total commission could be as low as 4% depending on your selection.

You can, but there is no advantage in working with a large firm. The agent you hire is the single most important decision you make. A large brokerage won’t help your home sell faster or for a premium. Spend a few minutes reviewing our background, testimonials, and the results we’ve achieved for our clients.
