It's simple, we charge a 1% listing commission to list your property in MLS and manage the process from beginning to end. We have a minimum listing commission amount of $2,500 and a maximum listing commission amount of $15,000, so even if you're priced under $250,000 you'll still have and if you're priced over $1.5m your savings will only increase the higher your valuation is. This makes us very competitive even within the arena of reduced rate listing brokerages.
