How Our Flat Fee Commission Rate Works

Traditional realtors typically charge exorbitant percentage fees—typically between 3% and 6% of your home’s sale price—to list your home. Smart Choice Realty believes there’s a better way of doing real estate—one that helps keep your money in your pocket. That’s why our flat-fee listing model is simple and transparent. When you work with us, you’ll pay:

$2,000 if you sell your home and buy another home with us
$4,500 if you’re just selling

At those rates, you have the potential to save tens of thousands of dollars and keep more of your equity. But don’t worry, we don’t sacrifice service just to save you money. You’ll still get full MLS exposure and expert representation from listing to closing. To us, it’s simple. We’re here to help you save money and move forward with confidence.

Samara, Kenny and Angie are awesome people to work with, the process is thoroughly explained, they kept me well informed throughout and the best part is I saved thousands by using Smart Choice Realty to sell my home. Thanks guys, you are the best!!

jake fisher

I will recommend Smart Choice Realty to any and everybody! Not only did I save almost $9000!! My house was listed and under contract in under 36 hrs! I was truly blown away of how quick And easy it was. Samara/Kenny/Angie are truly the A-Team!! Selling a house can be stressful, and they were beyond helpful and a pleasure to work with every step of the way. If you’re looking to Sell or buy I wouldn’t recommend anyone other than Smart Choice Realty!

Response from the owner:Thanks Jake! We truly wish you well in your next chapter :-)

Kerri Bridges

Truly the best company to help you buy or sell your home. We have used them twice and are highly satisfied. Great and quick communication!

Response from the owner:We appreciate your continued trust in our team Kerri!

Martha Haley

We highly recommend Smart Choice Realty! They are very knowledgeable and responsive. Our house sold fast and they were there to help us every step of the way. Best yet, we saved big on commissions with their flat rate fee.

Response from the owner:Martha, it was our pleasure working with you & John! Thanks so much for trusting us with the sale of your home!

bigdaddy gator

Smart Choice Realty did a fantastic job for us when we listed our Raleigh townhouse. Samara (Sam) listened to us and gave excellent advice. With her help we got a very good offer which we accepted. By contrast, the selling agent was a bumbling fool.
List with Smart Choice and you will:
1. Save thousands of dollars ($16,000 in our case)
2. Get sound advice about selling your home.
3. Have excellent communication from the folks at Smart Choice.
We would recommend Smart Choice to any seller.

Response from the owner:Bob, you & Shannon were awesome to work with! Thanks so much for trusting our process and for the great review!

Bill Dougherty

When our neighbor used Smart Choice we saw how quickly her house received an offer and also noted that the realtor’s commission was a fixed amount. When we decided to sell, we contacted Smart Choice hoping for similar results. We were not disappointed. After five days we received an offer on our home. The whole experience was quite easy. The realtor stayed in contact with us throughout the process right up until Closing. We are now in our forever home and don’t plan on selling again; however, if we did, we would once again use Smart Choice Realty.

Response from the owner:We would definitely work with you and Betty again Bill, but so happy you're in your forever home to relax & enjoy life!

Andrew Mahoney

wow. so simple and fast. great communication from Kenny throughout the process.

Response from the owner:Thanks for working with us Andy, we appreciate your trust in our team!

Stan Wood

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!

Response from the owner:Thank you Stan. It was our pleasure to work with you and Karen!

Erick and Jennifer Taylor

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

Response from the owner:Erick & Jennifer, it was so much fun working with you both!

Home Selling Tips in Wake Forest

Planning to list your home in Wake Forest’s competitive market? Keep these expert tips in mind:

Choose the Right Agent

Work with an experienced Wake Forest realtor who offers expert service without high commissions. With Smart Choice’s flat fee model, you’ll get full-service support, but you won’t have to pay a high price for it.

Look At Your Home Objectively

Your home has to appeal to a potential buyer’s eye. The people who visit your property should be able to envision themselves living there. Declutter, depersonalize and stage your space to make the best possible impression from the start.

Attention to Detail

Even small updates can make your home look like it’s had a major facelift. Fresh paint, clean landscaping and minor repairs can give your property a new look, boost buyer interest and lead to higher offers.

First Impressions Last

Curb appeal matters. When updating your interior, also make sure your exterior looks clean, uncluttered and well-lit. A great first impression sets the tone for a successful showing.
