Tip I just sold my home that was well over a million dollars with NO relators. We filled out a short form with the buyer. It was easy and did not require any fees. Now I gave a fair price and did not try to screw the buyer for as much money as possible. Be fair and do it on your own.

Man, the truth hurts but it is what sellers need to hear---thanks for telling the truth and offering wise advise!

[Anne-pkgs]

As a seller I always understood I paid my realtor a commission & whatever he paid the buyer’s agent,
from that commission, was between them. This is just a shell game.

[angieherron]

This was so timely and I truly appreciate the insight Audra! Thank you!

Hi Audra, I own my home in Florida free and clear, and want to sell, and buy elsewhere, in the state. Obviously, the "sell and buy" game is new to me, but watching and rewatching your videos, I have learned so much especially when it comes to the agents. As a subscriber to your channel, I keep wishing you were here in the Sunshine State 😎! Many thanks for your time!

[VS-fopy]

I’m not sure why I’m watching these videos…I’m not in the market to buy or sell a house, but these topics are interesting

Sellers are also competing with new builds. Builders are dropping prices on lots, giving more incentives to get the buyer.

[keithclifton]

I’m selling my former home and your comments are spot on, as usual. Thanks!!

[mikewiser]

Mahalo! So nice to listen to your common sense approach to the housing prices and strategy for selling homes!😎

[travelseatsyellowlab]

Thanks for the info! Currently, I'm updating my house to include a new roof, hot water heater, paint throughout the house, new hardwood floors in two of the bedrooms, repairs to the privacy fence, and new lighting fixtures in the kitchen. Within the next two years, I intend to either list the house for sale or rent. I hope the market and economy are favorable at that time. With the market slowing, I might go the rental route.

[livecalm]

I’ve never bought a house with a buyer’s agent. Always called the seller’s realtor directly, don’t need my hand held. Now there’s even more reason to do that.

[SallianneHines]

Great tips as I'm considering listing soon. One item caught my attention, as a buyer in a town 5 hours away - in so many of the online photos I can't tell which rooms are which! Especially when unfurnished and unstaged. Is it a bedroom? A family room? A dining room? Why aren't the photos shown in order from the front door as you would walk through, and then photos of the yard from all sides. And please show the closets open, and the toilet lids down!

Audra. I do not care one bit on buyers commission whether published or not. The information relevant to me is the bottom line. It is clear no one helps without being paid to do so. No one works for free although relatives might think differently. Yes, I understand buyers and sellers need to cooperate with the market. And we now understand we do not discuss buyer commission when the listing itself occurs. Only after an offer is received. My questions to Audra are three: 1. Should I make repairs before it is seen by the potential listing agent, example might be installing new locks on the front door or even painting it. 2. Should I hire a cleaning crew to clean the entire house plus windows before it is seen by the listing agent, or ask the listing agent to use her crews? 3. Using percentages, would 3% listing agent commission be an acceptable figure today? The house is paid off, and we live in a different state. So the house will be completely empty at time listing agreement is created. We do not cheap out on our selling costs and fees, we just want ballparks. Thanks Audra. Robert from Texas

The market is not slow where I’m moving to in Greenville SC!

Audra - what about houses already on escrow since July 2024 are they still included? I am on selling process right now your video helped a lot. Thank you.

[florencehendrick]

In Florida they are still asking for 6%, and I'm being told that 'No agent will show your home for low commission"! What is going one here is if you want to sell FSBO, with an MLS flat fee, you must state what you are going to pay the buyers agent right off. I stated that I'm lowering my home 50K, because I want to sell fast, and I was told that no agent will show my home unless I offer a decent commission. I only chose to go FSBO with MLS flat fee because of unethical Now, because my home has been on and off many times, I will have to just about give my home away...OH how I wish you could sell in FL.

[florencehendrick]

One more thing, I was just reminded by a friend of mine that another issue with the listing FSBO with flat fee MLS, You are assigned a realtor, and that realtor gets all the calls. Oops what happened to the For Sale By Owner part of this deal? I smell another problem coming down the pike, , , , my neighbor also wants to sell her home and asked about what to expect....we spoke for almost two hours....not good.

[gingerkilkus]

People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

[ramsrnja]

Hi Audra - Idea for a video perhaps - Can we ask the seller's agent to show us the house if that's the only one we want to look at, and then find a buyers agent after that? What would be the pros and cons of doing that.

[rickiejacobs]

So what do you think about contacting listing agents for showings and going to open houses and then when you want to make an offer contact a realtor or real estate lawyer to write up the offer/contract?
