Sell Your South Charlotte or Ballantyne Home for $5,000 or 1%

Listing side: $5,000 or 1%, whichever is greater, paid at closing. Full service through Canopy MLS for South Charlotte and Ballantyne sellers.

The short version: full service, same work, more equity left for the seller. On a sale above $500,000 the 1% applies. At $500,000 or below, the $5,000 minimum does.

Selling in South Charlotte

Competition can be sharp, and fee structure still changes what you keep. Start with the math on what it costs to sell, then we talk presentation and timing for your street.

The builder years are the useful part. Pricing a home so it sells is the job, and I know how new construction is priced and how resale has to compete with it.

Seller questions

Do you list homes in Ballantyne and the rest of South Charlotte?

Yes. South Charlotte and Ballantyne are part of the area I work, along with Fort Mill, Lake Wylie, Tega Cay, Rock Hill, and Indian Land across the state line.

What does the $5,000 or 1% cover?

Full service through Canopy MLS: photos, contracts, negotiation, and closing support. It is not an MLS-only listing.

Is the commission negotiable?

Yes. Broker fees are negotiated. They are not set by NAR, Canopy MLS, or any required rate. The 5K Realty listing-side fee is $5,000 or 1% of the sale price, whichever is greater.

How does buyer-agent pay work?

Buyer's agent compensation is optional, sits on top of the 5K listing-side fee, and is decided case by case with each seller. If you offer it, it is paid at closing. All fees are agreed to and approved by the seller.

Can I sell my home myself instead?

Yes. If you'd rather sell on your own, Shingle: The Seller Assist App is free from 5K Realty. It helps you plan showings, track which buyers have shown proof of funds with a simple checklist, review offers, and find the NC or SC disclosure forms. You can use it without hiring 5K Realty.

Who handles my listing?

Michael Ingold, broker and owner of 5K Realty. Licensed since 2004, more than 20 years with builders and developers, and NC and SC Broker in Charge since 2017.
