It is in our best interest to see that you receive the very best service available, since if you are not happy, then it is probable that you will seek out someone else to represent you. Usually the standard commission charged, to a home seller, is 6 or 7 per cent. This is almost always split equally between the listing agent and the buyer's agent. In fact, it assures you that the agent referred to you, and representing you, has been hand picked for experience and excellence.
Some agents when forced to compete for a listing just tell the seller what they want to hear.
They usually end up with an over priced home, outside market parameters, that just sits there as prospective buyers pass it by in favor of a similar home that is properly priced. Statistics show that an over priced home usually sells for less than the same home properly priced to begin with. Thus, the longer time on the market the lower the eventual selling price. You save by getting it right the first time from a long time professional. This procedure will be more clearly explained when you first meet with our referred agent and will be spelled out in contractual terms in the listing agreement.
