Seller Be Aware!
Don't fall into the trap of thinking there are only two ways to sell your home.
A traditional commission agent or selling on your own.
There is a better choice. A choice that gives you the best of both worlds.

If you think selling on your own is the answer, you may want to reconsider. The fact is you'll most likely make out better with professional representation. Be sure to go to our For Sale by Owner page to for more information.

Remember when using the services of a traditional agent, there are really two fees/commissions involved when listing your home for sale. One is for listing your home (usually 3%) and the other is for finding a buyer for your home (usually 3%) or a total commission of 6%.

Unfortunately, under the existent real estate brokerage system that governs most home-sales contracts, there's NO way you'll ever escape paying this 3% commission to the 'buyer's agent'--and little chance that your OWN 'listing agent' will cut you any substantial break on the similar-size commission that's typically due them as well (for the listing).

But do know that though this WILL BE the case when you use a 'TRADITIONAL' agent as your listing agent, the fact of the matter is that using a 'traditional agent' (who's compensated via the standard 'commission system') IS NOT the only choice you have when you set-out to sell your home. This is in fact a very big MISCONCEPTION which most sellers are under. Sellers who don't know about FRR. And it's only ONE OF MANY MISCONCEPTIONS that can potentially lead sellers into making less-than-optimal decisions when putting up their home for sale.
