Flat Rate Real Estate Pricing
A More Modern Way to Buy and Sell Real Estate
Seller’s Price Guide
Every house listed with Renovating Realty
includes our signature make-ready process through our sister-company, Happy Renovations.
The cost of make-ready can be collected at closing or,
if paid upfront, a 15% discount will be applied to the total
cost of the make-ready services.

A Modern Take
Shared Compensation is a Thing of the Past
The old-school real estate method is for the seller to agree to pay a percentage of the sell (6% common) to be split between the listing broker (3%) and the buyer’s broker (3%). The majority of Realtors still operate this way. We think it’s old fashion and will be an obsolete way of operating in five years.

Pricing Comparison
Know what you are paying before you sign a contract.
There are closing costs that can’t be determined before you sign a contract, but make-ready and Realtor pay shouldn’t be a surprise.
Two Questions to Ask Your Realtor:
1.) Do You Work on Shared Compensation?
2.) What dollar amount can I expect to pay in real estate commissions if my house closes at the listing price?

Flat Rate Real Estate Commissions Put Our Clients in a Better Position When Negotiating
Recently, we helped one of our long-time clients and friends win the house of their dreams against three other offers.
Buyer’s Price Guide

For serious buyers, we offer a flat rate. If you need a go-to Realtor in your pocket to show you properties over a long period of time, we charge a percentage of sale at closing.
For those who find a house on their own, we advocate for you through the inspection and contract negotiation at a fraction of the cost.

QUESTION AND ANSWER
Are you a Discount Agent?
No. We are a full-service firm focused on a better real estate and renovation experience. Our pricing is based on time and services vs a blanket percentage of sales.
We could be considered a boutique agency since we take a limited number of clients at a time so we can focus on service.
What is Included in the Flat Rate Service?
Our listing services are the same for every homeowner. Prices vary depending on the value of the house because the more a house costs, the longer it takes to sell.
How is your pricing different from other Realtors?
We are a GC and Realtor in one and package our services to reflect this expertise. Because real estate is not our only profit center, we can charge a flat fee for real estate services which saves homeowners thousands at the closing table.
Why Do You Charge for Listing Appointments?
We charge a nominal fee so that the consultation is unbiased. You are paying for our expertise, not a sales pitch.
Can Your Company Cover the Costs of Any Updates Needed to Sell My House?
Yes. We can absorb that risk until closing or, if the contract is cancelled, the make-ready amount will be due. Homeowners who pay the make-ready costs upfront get a discount on those servies.
What Do You Require of Buyers?
When working with buyers, we require an assessment so that we know what the buyer is looking for. If borrowing money, we also need to know what the buyer is approved for and what they can afford. We guide buyers through this process.
