List Your Kansas City Metro Home for ONLY 1%

Why do you only charge 1%?

I believe it's in the best interest of home sellers. Also, my business focuses on high volume rather than maximizing profit from each client. My goal is to save you thousands and do such a good job that you leave a raving review and happily recommend me to anyone who asks for a good agent.

Do we still get the same level of service as a traditional 2.5%-3.5% listing agent?

Absolutely, our goal is to give you more value than you’re paying for!

Your home still receives the marketing and support you’d expect from a traditional 2.5%-3.5% listing agent, including professional photography/video, MLS listing setup, online listing syndication, yard signs and lockbox installation, showing coordination, buyer agent communication, offer review and negotiation, appraisal coordination, contract management, title company coordination, and closing support.

However, your listing also receives premium placement on Zillow as a Showcase Listing at no additional cost. This means more eyes on your home! Outside of the Showcase Listing, these services should already be the bare minimum when hiring a real estate agent. The difference is that our model is designed to help you keep more of your money instead of paying a traditional 2.5%-3.5% listing fee.

Will I still get top dollar if I use a 1% listing service?

Yes, you will still get top dollar! We're full-service so my job is to get you the best possible offer through strategic pricing, high-quality proactive marketing, and strong negotiation. That doesn’t change. The only thing that changes is you’re paying less on the listing side, so you keep more money at closing!

How much money will I walk away with after everything?

That depends on a few things like your payoff, taxes, and whether you choose to pay a buyer’s agent, but I make it very clear for you. Before we list the home and with every offer you receive, I break it down with an estimated net sheet so you can see exactly what you’d walk away with before you make a decision. No guessing, no surprises!

How will you market my home to get the most exposure and best offers?

I focus on getting your home in front of as many serious buyers as possible right away. Of course you're on the MLS (that's bare minimum) but you also get boosted visibility on Zillow through Zillow Showcase which is my exclusive marketing partnership, and targeted marketing to active buyers. I tell my clients I’m a proactive marketer until we get an offer, then I switch into negotiation mode to get you the best terms. The goal is to create demand early so you’re in a position for stronger offers!

What will I actually pay in total to sell my home?

On the listing side, I charge only 1% for my full-service at closing. There is $495 transaction fee which goes directly to the brokerage NOT me. Now in most cases, 9 out of 10 buyers are working with an agent, so you can expect a buyer’s agent to request compensation when submitting an offer, typically around 2.5% to 3%, but that’s negotiable. I walk my clients through all of this with a net sheet so you can see exactly what you’d walk away with before accepting an offer. At the end of the day, your bottom line is what matters the most.

How do you determine the right price for my home?

We look at the data first, what similar homes have sold for, what’s currently on the market, and how buyers are responding. From there, I walk you through three pricing strategies: pricing high to test the market, pricing based on comps, or pricing slightly below to create more demand. Then we decide what makes the most sense based on your goals. I always tell my clients the list price is simply our invitation to the market, and the goal is to position your home in a way that attracts strong offers!

Would I be crazy not to at least explore the 1% option?

That’s exactly how many sellers feel when they first hear about it!

Your home receives premium placement on Zillow as a Showcase Listing at no additional cost, which helps your home stand out on Zillow with a more attractive listing layout, larger/higher quality photos, and additional features designed to increase buyer interest and engagement.

You still receive the full-service marketing, negotiation, communication, and contract-to-close support you’d expect from a traditional real estate agent.

At the very least, it’s worth having a conversation before automatically paying a traditional 2.5%-3.5% listing fee. Even if you decide to go another direction afterward, you’ll better understand your options and how much money you could potentially keep at closing!
