We're answering a common question that home sellers everywhere ask, "How can I save when selling my home?"
OPTION #1 - The 4% Club
If you want to know how to save money when listing with a real estate agent, then this one is for you! Before you hire an agent, be sure to negotiate their commission from the typical 6% down to 4% or less.
Some agents may be deterred by the lower commission, but there are plenty of agents out there who will be willing to get the job done for 4% commission rather than losing the sale.
OPTION #2 - The 2% Club
As you may know, the 4% commission would normally be split between the agent who lists your property and the agent who brings the buyer. So, if you want to cut that 4% commission in half, you can do it by listing your property yourself and offering a 2% commission to a buyers' agent.
In about 2 hours, you can list your own property as a For Sale By Owner in the MLS and Zillow, and you can also spread the word on social media platforms like Facebook (including Facebook Marketplace and Facebook Groups) to help you attract a buyer.

OPTION #3 - The 0% Club
If you would rather keep all of your equity in your pocket, then we have some special tips for you!
If you aren't open to paying a real estate agent commission at all, then we recommend putting a clause in your property listing that says the listing price does not include a real estate agent commission.
Always remember that at the end of the day, the house is what the buyers want. If they are truly sold on your house, they will either add the commission on to the purchase price or come to you directly.
