In your MLS Listing agreement you decide the commission to offer the Buyer’s Agent. Smart Tech will list your home in the MLS if you are offering the Buyer’s agent a 2%, 2 1/2% or 3% Commission. The higher the percentage the higher the incentive for a buyer agent to show your home. In real estate terms the Buyer’s agent fee is referred to as the “Co-op” fee… only paid when your home Sells at Closing. This will have to be paid only if you sell to a buyer represented by an agent.
Fathom Realty is our broker agency. All Smart Tech agents are and will be assigned to a broker agency as required by the Commonwealth of Virginia. Fathom realty has years of experience in Virginia and other states and has a strong commitment to our core value that the client comes first. That’s why we chose to join them.
The Listing fee is 1% for all properties listed over $1,000,000 and 1.5% for all homes below. This saves you a ton of money from the traditional 3%. You will also receive the 3D tour and photography included.
