We will list your property in 3-month increments. It is not a good idea to list a property for extended time periods. This allows you to make adjustments where needed if the property does not sell in a timely manner. The longer the property is on the market the lower the interest is due to preconceived thoughts of something being wrong with it. Also, it is harder to get the price you want. There is usually a number of reasons why a property will sit on the market and these issues should be addressed. (We will discuss this with you prior to relisting it again.)

Silver Plan: Six (6) Months
Gold Plan: One (1) Year

If an agent brings their client/buyer to purchase your property, you will pay the buyer’s agent a commission. Based on the traditional total commission model of 6%, the listing agent typically shares half of that amount with the buyer’s agent, however, commission fees are not fixed so you can determine how much you want to pay a buyer's agent.

Most FSBO’s tend to offer 3% to buyer’s agents, but based on our research we have found that seller’s experience the same rate of success when offering a lower commission rate. It’s a seller’s market and ultimately no matter what you offer as a commission, buyer’s agents will still show your home if their client is interested or has found your listing on their own.

(We are very flexible and offer a discounted traditional full listing service for virtually the same amount your willing to pay a buyer’s agent and flat fee listing plan.)
