To sell your home, you’re going to need to hire a real estate agent. When you hire an agent to sell your home, you’re going to end up paying a commission. When it comes to how much the commission is, you really get what you pay for. If you go for a discount broker, you’re sure to get a discount experience. Your home may not even sell. To hear about why having the most amount of money in your pocket doesn't’ necessarily mean you’ll sell quickly or profitably, watch this short video.

ABOUT: 
I have always loved real estate, but not how the business of real estate worked. After five successful years in the business I realized it was time to change how consumers experience the entire real estate transaction. With that in mind, “The Around Town Team” was born. Our focus is simple: provide honest and timely service, superior and tangible marketing, and always guide our clients based upon real-time data and statistics. It is our sincere hope that this transparent approach will bring a sense of calm and clarity to the closing table.

I received my B.A. in Politics and Speech Communication from Ithaca College and earned my Masters in Public Administration from the Rockefeller School at SUNY Albany. I am of course a fully licensed real estate agent in the state of Connecticut and a proud card-carrying member of the National Association of Realtors, Connecticut Association of Realtors, and the Newtown Board of Realtors. My network of Realtors expands throughout the United State enabling us to place you with capable professional in the event that we can not serve you directly.

TRANSCRIPTION: 
Today we’re going to talk a little bit about commissions. If you’re a seller, you’re going to pay a commission, there’s no way around it. However, commissions are negotiable by law, and they are not set in stone by any brokerage, state, or agent. 

An agent can choose not to drop below or go above a certain level, but it is also your right as a seller to negotiate your commission. 

I would tell you this. You get what you pay for when it comes to real estate professionals. A discount broker is simply not going to give you the same service as a high-end broker. What’s more important to you, the money in your pocket right now, or getting your home sold for the highest sale price possible in the shortest amount of time.

If you have any questions for me, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
