Natick Real Estate

For Sellers


Selling your home shouldn't be a stressful ordeal. Making the smart move of choosing a REALTOR® is your first step to ensuring that your investment in your home pays off. My services and experience allow you to focus on your move while I manage your home sale from our initial consultation to the closing deal, and beyond. I pride myself on repeat business and hope you'll come to understand why.  See what previous customers say about me on my Testimonials Page.

Commision Structure

Standard Listing Commission is 5%.  This is split 50/50 between the Listing Agent and the Agent who brings a buyer.  My primary job is to Market your home.  Since I am a REMAX Agent, which is like having my own business, I can negotiate a commission that makes sense for both of us. 

1) I will reduce my commission by .5% if your house sells within 30 days!

2) I will reduce my commission 1% if you also use me to buy your new home! 

 3) I will reduce my commision 1% if I List and Sell your house, no other agent involved.

Getting the Highest Price for Your Home

Curb appeal is key and could make a difference whether people stop and take a flyer, or drive right by. Here are a few tips to increase the curb appeal of your home. Staging your home is important. Many buyers will stay in your home longer if it's staged appropriately. I have compiled some ideas to present your home in the most effective manner.

Closing Costs to Expect:

  • Title search fees depend on the sales price of the home.
  • Broker's commission is a full-service fee and will cost anywhere between 4% to 6%.
  • Local property transfer tax, country transfer tax, state transfer tax, and state capital gains tax are the charges that you'll pay for the privilege of selling your home. Credit to the buyer of unpaid real estate taxes for the prior or current year are variable and depend on when you close and when your taxes are due.
  • FHA fees and costs are all fees are now negotiable between an FHA buyer and seller.
  • Miscellaneous fees can accrue from correcting problems noticed during the home inspection.
