If you’ve never gone through the home selling process, it can be an emotionally challenging and complex transaction. It’s also easy to make mistakes without the help of an experienced Seattle area listing estate agent by your side.
Our sellSmart! listing plan is designed for the Seattle area 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.
This plan is most comparable to a traditional listing service. The difference is that we have made those services that are both expensive and usually ineffective “optional.” The sellSmart! listing plan does not apply to short sales, bank owned or new construction developments.
As your Seattle area listing agent, we provide set up, monthly and closing services. We will walk you through the process of selling your Seattle area home to the final exchange of keys. Our goal is to list and sell your Seattle area home for the best price within a reasonable time frame. We provide expert representation, contract negotiations and real estate transaction assistance, and we make sure the process of listing and selling your Seattle home goes as smoothly as possible!

sellSmart! Listing Plan 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.
- Newspaper Ads – Your choice of newspaper and size of ad. Cost to the client is cost of ad + $25.
- Magazine Ads – Your choice of magazine. Cost to the client is cost of ad + $100.
- Open Houses – An agent staffed open house is $200 per three hour open house.
sellSmart! Listing Plan Costs
Since we perform the same set of services for all Seattle area houses for sale, it only makes sense that our fees stay the same for every house.
- Set up Fee: $995 – due when the listing goes live on the market
- Closing Fee: $5000 – 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.
