Selling a Home in Cache Valley, Utah
When selling a home, the most important thing is to have your home listed on the MLS, have it priced right, and have it in tip top showing shape all the time. 2 out of every 3 homes are found by totally different buyers agents. It is very unlikely that the agent who lists your home will actually be the one who sells it. It is essential that your home is marketed to Realtors. The best listing agents can always be contacted and know how to communicate.
What real estate listing fee do you charge?
As a buyer specialist, I don't try to list homes. I usually sell homes that other agents have listed. Most agents spend the majority of their time and money marketing themselves, so they can get more listings. They have to charge high listing fees so they can make money to pay for their self marketing, which doesn't sell homes. I don't do this and thus can pass the savings on to you. After all, it is you who found me!
Real Estate home listing commissions and fees are negotiable. To help make things a little easier, and to help you know what you can expect, here is a basic break down of what I will charge to list your house, and the services I will provide for a standard home in Cache Valley Utah. Regardless of which fee package you choose, you will pay nothing unless we actually sell your house.
Standard Real Estate Commission Rates are 6%. Normally, this rate is split 50% between the buying and selling agent yielding both a 3% commission. When I list a home below 6%, instead of splitting it, I will still give the buyers agent the 3% fee. Some times real estate agents are more concerned about making money, than showing the best possible homes to their clients, and since the most likely way you will sell a home is through a buyers agent, this is important. Homes where buyer's agents will be paid 3% will be shown more by other Realtor's than those given less. In addition, buyers agents usually have to work a whole lot harder for their clients than do listing agents.

Additional Home Selling Discounts
Expensive Home Discount - If your home is worth more than the average home I am willing to discount my 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 - I will also list your home for less when I can turn the sell into multiple transactions. If you will be buying within the area and use me as your agent as well, or if you have multiple properties to sell we can negotiate a much lower listing fee.
These services are not the extent of what we can do to market your home. My philosophy is to keep it innovative. If we can figure out a better marketing plan for your particular house, you better believe we'll give it a shot.
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, I'm open to that idea too.

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.
