Commissions are Changing

Pay a flat fee of $2,000 or $4,500 to list your home with us.

What We Do

We are one of the top flat fee real estate brokers serving the Triangle area. We offer home sellers an alternative to traditional real estate firms that cost sellers 5-6% commissions. We do this by either listing your home for $2,000 (if you’re buying another home with us) or by listing for $4,500 (if you aren’t purchasing another home). With either option, you save thousands, without sacrificing service.

Samara and her team were unknown to us until we saw how we could possibly save a lot of money in reduced realtor commissions on her website. After calling them and meeting with her, we felt would be getting the same services as from a full fee realtor and we were right. Our sale was easy and quicker than I anticipated and we saved over $12,000. So unless you have thousands of extra dollars living around, why wouldn't you use a discount realtor as Smart Choice Realty. Think about it!

The wife and myself have nothing but great things to say about Sam and her team at Smart Choice. We worked with Smart Choice for nearly a year researching and finally deciding to sell our house and buying a new one. Sam gave us guidance on what we needed to do and with that being said, our house sold in less than a week. And then there is the awesome Kenny who was the absolute best each and every time we needed him. We can not thank the entire team enough.Erick and Jennifer

The Smart Choice team is top notch from start to finish. I can not say enough about the staff and their dedication to work above an beyond. Hands down I would recommend them to anyone needing to sell their home. We were out of state and they took care of everything and we never had to worry! Thank you Smart Choice!

Samara helped me sale 3 houses in 2024. No issues with any of the closings. I saved at least 30k by going this route compared to a traditional RE agent. I would definitely recommend First Choice. Good service, good value!

Rachel Ventura

Kenny was an absolute pleasure to work with! Always kept communication open and quick to respond. Even with a couple of "new construction bumps" along the way, the transaction went smoothly and we have happy buyers and sellers on closing day! Highly recommend!

Chris Wilkes

This is the 3rd time I have used Smart Choice Realty to sell a home and have had a really great experience! Not only did I literally save thousands on real estate commissions, I worked with top notch real estate professionals from the listing on to the closing. I sold my house very quickly and I highly recommend Smart Choice Realty!

It was a pleasure working with Smart Choice Realty. They were very professional throughout the entire process, providing valuable inputs and insights on the current market, preparing the home for sale, and navigating the contract and counteroffer process. Highly recommend them...saved on commissions and received top dollar for the home!

Ed Bell

Once again, Smart Choice Realty did a great job for us in the sale of our home! We saved over $15,000 dollars in commissions and the whole process went very smoothly. Thank you, Samara and Smart Choice, for the great job! We will definitely work with you again.

Response from the owner: Thanks Ed! Let's do it again soon! :)
