Breaking The Process Down

What Are You Getting For That Commission?

First and foremost, your listing agent is a consultant – an advisor on home presentation, pricing, and contracts. They are also your advocate, negotiator, marketing coordinator, transaction manager, and part-time therapist. What they typically don’t do any longer is find you a buyer. What used to take hours and thousands of dollars in advertising can now be accomplished for free on the internet. So why are they being paid just as much?

Our Unique Solution

We Chose To Change

Our completely transparent fixed rate pricing model is fair to all parties. Why should you pay more to sell your home because it’s more valuable. Let’s face it, your listing agent is doing the same work for you as they are the seller whose house sells for half (and pays half as much in commission). Choose one or more services or select our bundle and experience a full service transaction – it’s entirely up to you.
