What it costs to sell your home
Listing-side fee vs a 5.5% all-in example. This is an illustration, not a standard rate and not what you will pay at closing.
The 5.5% figure is an example of what sellers once commonly budgeted. Broker fees are negotiated now. They are not set by NAR, Canopy MLS, or any required rate. The 5K figure is the listing side only. If you choose to offer a buyer’s agent commission, it is added on top and also paid at closing.

Seller questions
Is this just an MLS dump?
No. Canopy MLS, photos, contracts, negotiation, and closing support are included.
How does buyer-agent pay work after the NAR settlement?
Fees are negotiated. NAR and the MLS do not set a standard commission. 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.
How do you set the list price?
We look at the home and the market together and talk through a realistic high and low range. Then, based on your goals and timeline, we decide where to start the list price. I spent years representing big builders on new construction pricing, so pricing is where I start.
Are there other optional services?
Yes, and they are discussed case by case. Other optional services, like a home inspection, staging, or video, are paid directly to the vendor, not through 5K Realty. Even if you offer a buyer’s agent commission, the savings are still significant next to a more traditional listing, and each plan is tailored to the home and the seller.
What is the 5.5% number?
An example of what sellers once commonly budgeted all-in. Not a going rate and not a closing quote.
