- Professional Photography: We ensure your property is presented in the best light with high-quality photos.

While not strictly mandatory, we highly recommend considering a buyer's agent commission for several compelling reasons. Drawing from our extensive experience and experimentation, we've seen that different buyer's agent commission amounts can significantly impact showings, purchase offers, negotiations, and, ultimately, the final sale price.

The specific amount to offer a buyer's agent is intricately tailored to your property's price point, local market conditions, and your unique selling goals. Typically, for homes under $1 million, the range is 2% to 3%, while for homes over $1 million, it falls within 2% to 2.5%. The decision to offer compensation to a buyer's agent is entirely yours. We're here to share our experience, aligning it with your goals, to help you make an informed decision for your particular situation.

We're more than happy to discuss your specific situation either over the phone or in person, ensuring the best approach for your satisfaction and financial well-being. At Clear Rate Real Estate, your priorities are our priorities, and we're dedicated to tailoring your selling experience to meet your unique needs.

There are no upfront fees. We will collect the listing flat fee from the net proceeds after a successful closing.

Absolutely not. Discount listing services often limit their offerings to putting your home on the MLS and leaving you to handle the rest.

In contrast, we are a comprehensive full-service real estate company. Providing you with unparalleled value and a complete suite of services for a fraction of the cost.

Absolutely! While we do conduct open houses, our approach is grounded in practicality and transparency. We've found that the majority of our sellers successfully complete their home sales without relying on open houses. In our experience, open houses often serve as a lead generation tool for agents, providing minimal true value to your home sale.

That said, we understand the appeal of open houses and their potential for exposure. We embrace the opportunity as real estate agents to connect with potential buyers and generate leads. Unlike some, we're upfront about the dual nature of open houses, acknowledging their benefits for real estate professionals while ensuring our sellers make informed decisions about their home-selling strategy.

At Clear Rate Real Estate, we understand the importance of confidence in your decision to sell your home. That's why we've introduced the Clear Rate Guarantee, a unique contract designed for transparency and your peace of mind.

Our contract features an easy exit clause, ensuring that we continuously earn your business every day. If, at any point, you feel dissatisfied with our efforts to sell your home, you can inform us, and we'll promptly release you from the contract.

Remarkably, we're proud to share that thus far, no one has taken us up on the easy exit offer, underscoring the satisfaction and trust our clients have experienced with our services. Your confidence in Clear Rate Real Estate is our commitment, and our guarantee is a testament to our dedication to your satisfaction throughout the home-selling journey.

Absolutely not! As a home seller, you retain full control over the decision to accept an offer and proceed with the sale of your home. There is no obligation whatsoever to accept any offer that comes your way. The power to accept, counter, or reject an offer lies entirely within your discretion, affording you the flexibility to assess each proposal based on your unique priorities, financial objectives, and overall satisfaction. Our role is to provide unwavering support, valuable guidance, and insightful perspectives to facilitate your decision-making process. While we offer assistance, the ultimate choice of whether to accept an offer is firmly in your hands. It's crucial to prioritize your comfort and confidence in the presented terms before moving forward with the sale of your home, ensuring a transaction that aligns seamlessly with your vision and satisfaction.
