The Process

A calmer way to hire your listing agent.

No cold calls. No mystery commissions. Post once, compare proposals side by side, and hire only when the fit is right.

01

Describe your property

Post your home details in about five minutes — price you have in mind, timeline, and anything an agent should know. A phone number is optional, and your street address and contact details stay hidden.

02

Compare proposals

Licensed local agents send you their listing fee, how they plan to market and price your home, and recent nearby sales to back it up. Most sellers see proposals within the day.

03

Interview and hire

Ask questions, decline anything that isn't a fit, and sign only when you're ready. Once you accept, that one agent gets your contact details and takes it from there.

How commissions work, in plain English

If you've never sold a home, this is the part nobody explains clearly. Here it is.

  • A commission is what the agents get paid when your home sells — a percentage of the sale price. It comes out of the money from the sale on closing day, so you pay nothing up front.
  • Traditionally sellers paid about 5% to 6% total: roughly 3% to their own listing agent and roughly 3% to the buyer's agent.
  • Here, agents compete for your listing. Proposals start as low as 1.0%, and most accepted proposals land near 1.5% to 2%.
  • Nothing is owed unless your home sells. Posting, reading proposals, and declining them are all free.

1.0% is the lowest listing fee an agent can offer here, not the average. Examples on this site use 1.5%, a typical accepted rate.

Ready when you are.

Posting your property takes about five minutes and stays private until you choose an agent.
