Because the commission is not the cost you should be worried about. The bigger question is: how much money are you leaving on the table?

Most people who sell on their own unknowingly leave money on the table. Our system is specifically built to create the competition that prevents that from happening. In 300+ transactions, we've consistently helped sellers net more than they would have on their own, even after commissions. That's not a sales pitch. That's just the math.

A wise man once said, "Don't be so sure of what you want that you wouldn't settle for something better." I'm not promising you better because I don't know your situation. I'm simply asking, "If I could get you more money in your pocket even after commissions, wouldn't that be worth the 15 minutes?" The Seller Clarity Call is free. Let's look at your numbers together and see where you actually stand.

I hear you. Quite frankly, that number is outdated and misleading. Commission structures in real estate are 100% negotiable, so there can be real flexibility in how we work together. More importantly, the question you're really concerned about isn't what you pay. What you really care about is what you'll walk away with, right?

A seller who saves 3% in commissions but leaves 8% on the table clearly didn't win. Conversely, a seller who pays 3% commission but nets 13% more is winning all the way to the bank. (This actually happened with one of my clients!) So let's talk about how we can increase your take-home and build a plan around that.

Good work! This is worth taking seriously, and I would never tell you to abandon them. My only advice is to remember that interested is not under contract, and under contract is not closed. There are several hurdles that have to be navigated carefully between the first conversation with a buyer and getting them to closing.

Thankfully, we've encountered this situation a few (hundred) times, so we have systems in place to assist you even if you found the buyer before meeting us. Be sure to ask us about them on your Clarity Call!

As a For Sale By Owner, it's important to be aware that the people reaching out to you directly are often doing so because they believe they can negotiate you down. When a buyer thinks there is no other offer on the table, they try to negotiate from strength. Our job is to flip that dynamic so that you can be sure you have the best buyer, not just any buyer.

I can only imagine, but I have definitely heard some horror stories after 13+ years in this business. Here's a dirty little secret most agents won't admit to you:

The traditional model is broken.

All it says is list it, hope for it, and lower the price when nothing happens. That's not what we do because that's simply not the best way to sell a house. We built SellByMonday specifically because we got tired of watching that exact scenario play out. Our system gets buyers interested before the home goes live so that they're already competing when they arrive. This is how our homes sell quickly AND for top dollar.
