Buying or selling a home comes with a lot of questions. Some are simple. Some are not.
Here are clear, straightforward answers based on real experience—not guesswork.
If you don’t see your question here, just reach out. I’m always happy to help.
-
No. Buyer agent compensation is no longer required through the MLS. It is fully negotiable.
That said, many buyers are still working with agents and may expect compensation to be part of the transaction. Pricing and strategy should account for this so your home stays competitive.
-
I provide full-service listing representation for a reduced listing fee of 1/2%.
Your home is listed on the MLS, marketed across all major platforms, and supported with professional guidance from pricing through closing. The difference is not in the service—it’s in the efficiency of how I run my business.
-
Yes.
Your home is entered into the MLS, which automatically syndicates to all major real estate platforms where buyers are actively searching, including Zillow, Realtor.com, and others.
-
A Zestimate is an automated estimate based on algorithms. It does not account for condition, upgrades, or how your home compares to current competition.
A CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) uses real market data—recent sales, active listings, and buyer behavior—combined with professional judgment.
The difference is simple: one is automated, the other is strategic.
-
You can, but it usually works against you.
Homes that are priced too high tend to sit on the market longer, which can lead to price reductions and weaker negotiating positions. The goal is to price strategically to attract strong interest early.
-
Not all upgrades add value—and some can cost you more than they return.
I help you focus on improvements that matter to buyers and avoid spending money on things that will not impact your bottom line. The goal is to create the best return, not just make changes.

This is one of the most important questions—and one where clarity matters.
My listing fee is 1/2%, and there are no hidden fees added by me.
Beyond that, there are a few standard costs most sellers should expect:
Buyer Agent Compensation
This is negotiable and not required, but many sellers choose to offer it to remain competitive.Title and Escrow Fees
These are typical closing costs and vary depending on the transaction.Professional Photography (if you choose it)
I coordinate this through a trusted vendor and pass along discounted pricing. You pay the vendor directly.Optional Services
Items like lockbox delivery or sign installation have a small service fee.
