One percent.
The whole job.

Selling a house takes real work. The list above is everything I do, and I do not cut any of it. I just do not think it adds up to sixteen thousand dollars, which is what 3% costs on a median home here. Both sides together run closer to thirty two thousand.

That number got set decades ago and it stuck, mostly because nobody had a reason to move it. Prices went up. The work did not. So the check kept growing for the same job.

I would rather charge a third of that and do more of them. That is the whole strategy. There is no catch buried in the paperwork, and you can read every line of the agreement before you sign anything.

If you want to compare me against a full-price agent, do it. Ask both of us what we actually do for the fee. I will put my list next to theirs.

Both my parents were agents. I got licensed at eighteen to help with their business and I have been doing it on my own for more than a decade since.

I live in Utah County and I sell in Utah County. I know which streets back up to the freeway and which elementary school people are actually trying to get into.

Outside of work you will catch me in the mountains riding bikes, or out on the water boating. Best of all I am a husband and a dad to two amazing little girls. Getting out and making the day great is what gets me out of bed in the morning.

What that means for you is simple. I answer my phone, I tell you what I actually think about your price, and I do not disappear between the listing appointment and the closing table.
