Overview
The sellSmart! Listing plan is designed for any home seller who wants end-to-end service and support, as well as high quality and effective marketing for a fair and justifiable cost that isn’t based on the value of your house. It is most comparable to a traditional listing service, except we have made optional the services that are both expensive and usually ineffective. This plan does not apply to short sales, bank owned or new construction developments.
Costs
Since we perform the same set of services for every house, it only makes sense that our fees stay the same for every house.
$995 – Setup Fee – due when the listing goes live on the market
$5000 – Closing Fee – due when the sale of the house is complete and closes
Note: These costs are for the listing agent only. Seller is still responsible for providing a commission for the buyer’s agent.

Optional Services
Our research on how buyers are finding homes have shown that these three items are, for the most part, ineffective. Due to their high cost and very low return, we have made them optional services. Optional services must be paid for when ordered and is above and beyond the cost of the sellSmart! listing plan.
