Sell your home with a local, full service agent and save thousands on commissions.
So What’s the Difference Between $2,000 or $4,500 Listing Fees?
Simple.
If you purchase another home using one of our buyer specialists (that’s free representation for you), we list your current home for a $2,000 flat fee.
If you aren’t buying another home or have already purchased one, we charge $4,500.
With either option, you save thousands.

Real People, Real Savings
We've used Sam and the Smart Choice team for two different home sales and one home purchase over the last 8 years - all great experiences. Samara was super helpful with staging advice for our latest home sale - she knows her stuff. Our house was under contract in less than a week - went on the market late on a Friday - we had multiple (above asking) offers by Monday morning. You really don't feel like you're using a "discounted" service. We always felt like we were taken care of and that Smart Choice had our backs through the entire process. Thanks Sam!

Angie and Samara were by far our favorite realtors to work with by far! They were both easy to get in touch with, answered all of our questions (and we had a ton), and made sure the process of selling our house was seamless. We also purchased with them and the whole transaction was also seamless! They’ve both got years and years of experience and were a pleasure to work with!

Samara (owner of Smart Choice) came to our house for a walk thru. She made suggestions for removing certain items, what needed to be put away, what needed to be painted and what needed to be cleaned up outside. Listen to her suggestions, she knows. Then we talked about timing of any repairs and painting that we knew of and a potential date for showings. She did her due diligence for finding comps and giving us a realistic selling price point. We agreed and got to work on our end. A month later we were ready to proceed and set the date. We had six showings in the first weekend (understand this was mid October when sellings have dropped) and had a full price offer in two days. Paperwork was completed by Nov. 1st. Inspection was done, repair agreements were signed and closing was Dec. 1st with and agreement to stay in the house thru Dec. 20th. Samara and Angie (coordinator) were great through the whole process. Couldn't be any happier!

The experience was even better than working for a full fee realtor. The team was there every step of the way. It is a total waste of money to use anyone else. Thanks Samara!

Samara and her team were amazing! They coordinated selling my parent's house and made it a smooth and easy process even though we were out of state. We were very happy with the results!

This is the 3rd time we have used Smart Choice Realty! We appreciate Samara's knowledge and professionalism. Angie was also a tremendous help and support. We were also very grateful for the money saved on the seller side using SCR!

Samara and Angie were always professional , well organized, and kept us informed throughout the process. This is the second time we used Smart Choice, and as before we were extremely satisfied.

We've worked with Samara 9 yrs ago when we moved from Knightdale to Wake Forest and it was a 'no brainer' to contact her again when we wanted to sell our TH in Wake Forest. Her entire office team is top notch!!

Home Valuation
We will visit your property to estimate the Fair Market Value by analyzing your property's condition & examining recent nearby sales.
Property Analysis
We will recommend repairs & improvements to sell your property for the highest price. We'll also connect you with professionals to help prepare your home for the market including painters, handymen & home stagers.
MLS Listing
Your home will be listed on the Triangle Multiple Listing Service so it is available for all Realtors to see. We pride ourselves in providing thorough & accurate information so we're ready for offers anytime!
Marketing
Your home will be featured on 400+ websites including Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia & more. We'll also showcase your home on our Facebook page with over 700 fans.
Professional Photography
Photos are the most important marketing tool we have. We want only the best so we'll have our professional photographer take up to 100 photos to highlight your home's best features.
Lockbox & Sign
We'll provide a lockbox for your front door so agents can easily show your home to prospective buyers as well as a professionally designed yard sign to show your home is for sale.
Accurate Information
We work hard to ensure that all information about your home is accurate and readily available to buyers so that when they are ready to make an offer on your home, there's nothing holding them back.
Document Preparation
We will fill out all appropriate NC Real Estate Commission approved forms & make certain the correct addenda are included so that you're completely protected.
Full Representation
We represent you from start to finish so you don't have to ever speak to the other party or Realtors directly. We negotiate offers & repairs on your behalf & help coordinate closing details.
Closing Coordination
We'll help set up the closing date and time for you, as well as help you remember all the details like turning off utilities & forwarding your mail.
Feedback
You'll receive feedback from agents who show your home with what their buyers thought. We'll also review our marketing strategy every 30 days in case any adjustments are needed.
Teamwork
We have a dedicated team of people who are there to guide you through each step of the transaction. While we all have different roles, our number one priority is you.
Our clients save an average $9,500 by listing with us. Here’s how:
We list homes for $1,000 or 1%. It’s that simple. Which means that you instantly save the money that normally goes to the listing agent as their commission. You’ll still owe a buyer’s agent 2.4-3%, but you can expect to save $1,000s on the transaction.
