Home Sellers ~ What to Know about Types of Agents
What is a discount agent?
- Fewer services than full-service, but cheaper (sometimes by a large amount, typically 3.5-4% commission)
- Usually very limited marketing, or marketing available at an additional cost (this can allow you to pick and choose what marketing you want on your house to save money)
- Good for people who know the industry or are able to do the marketing themselves
What is a full-service agent?
- An agent who works with a brokerage company and provides extensive marketing for your property (far more than just signage)
- Charges full commission (5-6%) but covers all fees – no paying for anything extra
Who should you go with?
- Everything is circumstancial, but more often than not choosing full-service is the best way to go. These agents are reliable, have proven track records, and can net you potentially thousands of dollars more in the sale of your home
- Hiring a professional is important, and hiring someone who can really get you top dollar in a reasonable amount of time is essential
