In a residential real estate transaction, the seller pays the real estate commission. Our commission rates are disclosed by your agent and the actual costs are in put in writing.

Would you rather have your listing where other Sellers are or where the Buyers are?
Of course you would rather expose your home to as many Buyers as possible to get the highest price possible.

In general, the market determines the price, not your agent. Your Agent completes a CMA, Competitive Market Analysis that will show you the recent sales of similar type homes within your geographical location. The Agent may also include properties that are actively for sale and recently put under contract, so you can assess the competition.

Each home has its own unique characteristics. Your agent will show you the “Days on Market” for each of the sold comparables, which will give you an indication of the number of days similar type property has taken to sell. Pricing your home competitively will be to your advantage in current market conditions. Your Agent will require all buyers that offer to pay cash to provide us with proof of the funds or they will require the buyer to be pre-approved with a reputable lender.
