Selling your home and tired of watching thousands disappear into commissions?

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room.

Don’t get mad. Keep more of your money.


1. Why should a Realtor make $3,000 more because you added $100,000 in upgrades to your home?
Answer: They shouldn’t. You took the risk. You wrote the checks. Why do they get the raise?

2. How much more work is a $250,000 listing versus a $750,000 listing?
Answer: Same contract. Same paperwork. Same process. One number changes. Your commission just jumped $15,000. Ouch.

3. “George, I mentioned your $5,495 fee and suddenly my agent said they could come down.”
Answer: Funny how that works.

Here’s the deal:

My best offer is simple.

2.5% or $5,495 listing commission. Whichever is less.

No games. No mystery math.

Just more money staying where it belongs — in your pocket.
