I think we all could use a few more moments of gratitude in our lives, right? So I want to take a moment to say thank you to my wonderful clients and those who recommend me as a realtor to their friends, family, and acquaintances. It’s people like you that are the reason why I work so hard and I so appreciate it. ☺️ 🙏⠀

Q: My friend sold their home in less than a month.

Q: My friend sold their home in less than a month. Is it fair that the real estate agent made the full commission when it sold so fast? ⠀
⁠⠀
A: Don't forget, you're paying a professional to sell your home. If your realtor does a great job marketing your home and it sells quickly at the price you want, then that is a positive! Whether it takes 8 days, 8 weeks or 8 months. There are many factors that go into a home selling quickly.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
As an example – say you need dental surgery, and your dentist provides a written quote for the procedure. Everything goes smoothly and you are finished and out of the dentist’s chair much quicker than anticipated. Should the dentist be paid less because the procedure went quickly? Conversely, if the procedure takes longer to complete, should the dentist be paid more? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The same skills, preparation and experience are required to do the procedure whether it takes less time or more time. ⁠☺️ ⠀

Q: ARE THERE ANY OTHER COSTS ON TOP OF COMMISSION

Q: ARE THERE ANY OTHER COSTS ON TOP OF COMMISSION THAT I NEED TO PAY TO SELL MY HOME? ⁠
⁠
A: When hiring a full-service brokerage, your salesperson usually covers all marketing expenses. These expenses include professional photography, marketing, brochures, advertising, etc. ⁠
⁠
Your agent will discuss the many things a homeowner can do on their own to enhance the saleability of the home. Many full-service firms cover an initial staging consultation to provide advice and tips on helping the marketability of your home. ⁠
⁠
Some realtors offer “free staging” but most often, it is usually in your best interest to hire a skilled professional stager rather than a jack of all trades realtor who also does staging. With staging, whether you pay for it up front or it is rolled into the commission nothing is ever free. ⁠
⁠
Your agent will be able to help you find a stager that will work well with your property and your budget. (Note: If you are using a flat fee or low fee brokerage, the Seller will often be required to pay for all marketing / selling expenses.) ⁠
⁠
Remember – Real Estate commission is pay for performance.⁠
