🏡 What’s Your Agent Really Costing You?
When it comes to choosing a real estate agent, one of the most common questions we hear during appraisals is: “What’s your commission rate?” It’s a fair question — after all, selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. But here’s something most sellers don’t think about:💡 The cheapest agent doesn’t save you money if they sell your home for less. In fact, the right agent can actually put more money in your pocket, even if their commission is a little higher. Let’s break it down.
🏆 The Difference a Great Agent Makes
At @ Real Estate, we don’t just list your home — we launch it.
We prepare it thoughtfully, market it powerfully, and negotiate every offer with care, confidence, and strategy.
We:
- Attend every photo shoot, ensuring your property looks its best
- Create beautiful buyer info packs packed with real value
- Respond to buyer enquiries fast (like same-day fast)
- Match your home with the right buyers
- Track and measure interest to adjust strategy if needed
- Negotiate hard (and smart) to get you the best possible outcome
These things matter. And they work.
💰 The Real Cost of “Saving” on Commission
Here’s a simple example:
Let’s say your home sells for $700,000.
- Agent A charges a lower fee and sells it for $690,000
- Agent B (like us!) charges slightly more, but negotiates it up to $715,000
Even with a slightly higher commission, Agent B puts more money in your bank account at settlement.
🧠 Choose the Agent Who Adds the Most Value
Commission is just one part of the equation — and it’s often not the most important one.
When you work with @ Real Estate, you’re getting:
✅ A proactive, high-performing team
✅ A powerful marketing reach (we’re talking Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google, TikTok + more)
