Seller's Listing Options
Four Unique Listing Options
Rich Properties is a full service real estate company and a member of the Charlotte Regional Real-estate Association. We can offer an "Exclusive Right to Sell" listing in which you can just sit back and make a few decisions while we do the work. But we also know that many people want to be more involved with the selling of their own houses without the expense of paying large real estate commissions.
Most successful owner-sellers agree to co-broke, that is, they will agree to pay the commission to the buyer's agent, perhaps 3% of the gross sale price. However, many agents are not aware of these houses being on the market, as most agents first go to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to find what homes are on the market. Rich Properties has developed several options which allow sellers to do much of the work and still take advantage of the MLS service. Our fees on all but option A are payable at closing and only if your house is sold. These commission percentages are dependent on the sale price of your home as well as the value of your home. Our belief is that it doesn't take much more work to sell a high priced house as it does to sell a lower priced house, so there is a scale based on the sale price of the home. So here's how we propose to help you.
