What a Listing Agent Does
As a sellers agent, David Benson works for the seller. He prices the home, markets it, handles the offers and takes the sale to closing.
You deal with David from the first conversation to the closing table. He visits the home, sets the price with you, talks to the buyers' agents and keeps you updated while the home is listed.
Pricing Your Home on Market Data
David prices your home from what similar homes near you sold for in the last 12 months. He then visits the home to check its condition.
David shows you what buyers have paid for homes like yours.
Negotiating the Commission
The commission is agreed with David for each listing. He quotes a rate after he has seen the home.
Listings here usually run 5 to 6 percent. That is often split four ways: David as the listing broker, a realtor working with him, the buyer's brokerage and the buyer's agent. Each usually receives about one and a half percent.
You agree the rate with David in writing before your home is listed.
From Listing to Closing
David books the showings, collects buyer feedback and handles the offers. He tells you what buyers said about the home, good and bad.
David goes through every offer with you. He reviews the price, who pays which costs, the inspection period and the closing date.
