Throughout the entire home selling process, price and commission are the only two items that determine how much money you walk away with. For some, this is not the most important part of the transaction but for most, money doesn’t grow on trees and this truly does make a difference.
Real estate will likely be the most expensive asset you will ever own so utilizing a competent agent who truly cares how much of your net worth you retain is critical. Analyzing all market activity, finding comparable sales, researching finishes and qualities, being aware of possible appraisal valuations: all of these items not only determine price but provide an insight if the home will be financeable and will close.
With regards to commission, 4 Walls Realty takes a very simplistic approach: 3% total – it’s that simple.
2% is paid to the buyer’s agent; we charge 1% to list. (Commission rate will change for vacant land).
Depending on the value of your home, the difference between a 3% commission and a 6% or 7% commission can be thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars.
