5% Commission
Commission; a sum of money that is paid upon completion of selling your home
How Real Estate Commissions Work
In order to sell your home quickly at the best price, you’ll want to hire a real estate agent to assist you to handle the process. Why? A good agent has your best interests at heart. They will help you set a fair and competitive selling price for your home that will increase your odds of a quick sale.
Typically, home sellers think real estate commission rates are “set in stone” at 6% (or higher) . In fact, no real estate commission rate is set in stone. The real estate commission percentage paid by the seller is whatever percentage you and your agent agree to.
However, keep in mind that every real estate agent operates differently and offers different levels of service. Therefore, you shouldn’t pick a real estate agent based solely on his or her commission rate, but rather on the services they provide and what they can do for you, as a home seller.
At Your Service, 5% Flat Rate Commissions
A full brokerage experience, My Local Realty Services charges a flat 5% commission rate (the national average). What does this mean for you, as a seller or buyer?
When you work with one of our real estate agents at My Local Realty Services, you, the seller, receive a full service sales experience, and pay a flat rate of only 5%. The listing agent
then splits the 5% real estate commission with a buyer’s agent, if applicable, each receiving 2.5% when your home sells.
Through every step of the transaction process, we are committed to providing the best in customer service, on point marketing, an incredible network of local contacts and referrals, clear communication channels, and unparalleled professionalism.
