Why do I pay a commission on the sale of my house?

 
 
Handshake with AgentThe commission pays for the services we provide and the expenses we incur in selling your home. Some of our services include:
  • Develop a tailored marketing plan
  • Advise you on fix-ups
  • List the house with a multiple listing service
  • Put up a yard sign where permitted
  • Attract buyers with advertising and open houses as appropriate
  • Screen potential buyers and follow up with agents
  • Negotiate the best contract on your behalf
  • Supervise a zillion details all the way to settlement for inspections, appraisal, walk through, repairs if needed
  • Help you plan your next purchase and your move.
If another agent brings the buyer, the commission is shared with that agent.
