Everyone Wants to Know...Commission Rate

The market has changed and we are getting a lot of calls from consumers asking point blank, what is your commission?  Sure everyone wants to save when they sell.  But the bottom line is, as a seller, you really want to net the most at the settlement table.  What if we could net you more money at a higher commission? YES you read that correctly.  You will walk away from the settlement table with more money in your pocket.

Think about this… A seller hires an agent at 4% commission.  Consumers tend to think that all agents are created equal and they’re NOT!   (Example – 4% of $300,000 is $12,000).  When you hire an agent at 4% you will NOT have any communication, NO team to guide you, NOT aggressive, NO feedback from showings, NO Negotiation skills, NO professional pictures, minimal number of pictures and NO innovative marketing.  Sure the home may sell in a seller’s market but, I guarantee it won’t for the most money possible because a high level of demand through marketing WAS NOT created. 

When you go with an Expert Team who charges 5% - 6% commission you will get an Aggressive Realtor with Negotiation skills! (What is an extra $3,000 or $6,000 in commission if you could net $10,000 more for your home?) WE GUARANTEE YOU WILL NET MORE!  92% of buyers look online for homes for sale.  So your pictures NEED to be:  professional, create emotion to draw in the buyers, and there needs to be at least 25.   

More showings on your home = Higher Demand. 
Higher Demand = MORE MONEY & Seller Control of Negotiations. 

The Swain Team’s innovative marketing focuses on driving up demand so you can SELL FOR THE MOST.  We do more than just put the home on MLS.  We invest into our homes for sale to NET YOU THE MOST. As an Expert Real Estate Team we employ several strategies to net you the most. Of course we have an innovative marketing strategy that is property specific, we will work with you to create a pricing strategy, and we tailor our communication schedule to meet your needs. 

In the end, your home may sell in this market with a 4% commission but, will you be walking away with the most money in your pocket?  Remember, the total percentage commission is shared between the cooperating agent (buyer’s agent).  In some cases, a buyer’s agent may see the lower commission share rate (1.5 or 2%), and they may be less inclined to push their buyer into making the deal work or would not even bother showing your home to their clients.

We offer a complimentary market analysis of your home where we can discuss your home’s value and The Swain Team’s strategy to sell your home.
