Selling a Home in Cache Valley, Utah
The keys to selling a home are: price it right, expose it to the most potential buyers, and have it clean, staged, and ready to show at any time.
Cornerstone listing agents, have the expertise to help you net top dollar from the sell of your home. Our local market knowledge will help you price your home right for the time frame in which you need to sell. We have the marketing means to give your home maximum exposure to all potential buyers. Nearly two out of every three homes are sold by a different buyers agent. These property's sell simply because they are listed on the MLS and are properly marketed to Realtors. Placing your home on the MLS with quality pictures is the best thing you can do to expose your home to the most potential buyers.
The best listing agents also communicate effectively and can always be contacted. Our experience and transaction knowledge will also help you negotiate the best purchase price with offers, protect you once under contract, and help you make the best decisions in the event that complications arise.
Real Estate home listing commissions and fees and services provided are negotiable. Local agents will charge from 4% to 7% to list a home. Generally the more you are willing to pay, the more services you will get, but this is not always the case. Remember, when listing with Cornerstone, you pay nothing unless your house sells, and you will get the best online marketing available.
Real Estate agents like to tell you that the normal listing fee is 6%. Normally, this rate is split 50% between the buying and selling agent yielding both a 3% commission. When commisions are cut, most agents cut the commission they are offering to the buyers agent. Homes where buyer's agents are offered a high 3% commission will be shown more than listings with 2 or 2.5% buyers agent commissions. It is wise to offer buyers agent a high commission.

Factors that may influence a lower commission amount:
High End Home Discount - If your home is worth more than the average home we may be willing to discount our commission further. Lets be honest, does it really take that much more effort to market a $400,000 home than it does a $100,000 home? When your house is higher end we will definitly consider listing it for less so why pay thousands more just because you have a nice home?
Multiple Transactions Discount - We will also consider listing your home for less when it will just be one of multiple transactions. If you will be buying within the area and will use us to buy, or if you have multiple properties to sell we can negotiate a lower listing fee.
Once again, real estate commissions and my listing fees rate are negotiable. If I can help you, or someone you know with a real estate transaction, I am very willing to charge a lesser fee. If you wan't to pay me, or the buyers agent more, In some cases I'd encourage that too.
If you're ready. Fill in the form below, and we will set up a time for me to stop by your home and give you an absolutely no obligation, free marketing consultation and listing proposal. Please also fill out the preliminary CMA form so I can get the facts about yourhouse and a good idea of where we should price your home.
