My minimum commission is 2.5% over $100,000, with a $3,000 minimum on properties under that number. Keep in mind, most properties are entered into the MLS, so the other broker is offered the same cooperative commission for a total listing commission of 5.0% with a $495 Administrative fee that is charged by my brokerage, Keller Williams.
Something I do differently than other agents is, on vacant listings, over $250,000, I do a light staging, with my own staging materials, without a monthly fee. Staging is Paramount in the sale of renovated homes. Recently, I had to figure out how to address staging a celebrity client’s 13,000sf homes. The property had been on the market for approximately 9 months, when I sold it to my client as a buyer. It was not staged. When I sold it, even lightly staged, we were on the market for approximately 90 days in quite a neurotic market. I also counsel my flip clients on design because you have to look at it this way. I see buyer’s reactions to different design elements every day. Generally, I know what sells and what sinks.
