Sell your home with a local, full service agent and save thousands on commissions.
So What’s the Difference Between $1,000 or 1%?
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 $1,000 flat fee.
If you aren’t buying another home or have already purchased one, we charge 1%.
With either option, you save thousands.

Quite a lot, actually. Here’s what’s included whether you list for 1% or $1,000:
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!

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 25 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.

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.
Savings Estimator on $425,000 Sales Price:
$425,000 x 6% = $25,500 commissions charged by a traditional firm
$425,000 x 3.4% = $14,450 total commission charged by Smart Choice if only selling through us

Smart Choice Realty was absolutely fantastic to work with. They were thorough and extremely professional. My house sold within days, and the process was seamless. On their website they promise Service. Savings. Results. That is exactly what they delivered. Thank you Samara and Angie!

This is our 2nd time selling a property with Smart Choice Realty and again it has been a wonderful experience. Working with Smart Choice Realty, you get a full service realty team - no discounts on quality and commitment - only discounts in what you are paying in commissions! Working with Samara is a pleasure - she provides excellent advice and is very available with the answers to any questions. Highly recommend!

Samara and team were great to work with when selling our house in Cary! She remained calm and provided expert guidance to help navigate a few hiccups along the way. We received four offers the first day and were able to successfully close just 30 days later. All in all, it was a very smooth process in this crazy market. If you’re in the market to buy or sell a home, I would highly recommend the team at Smart Choice Realty.

Samara, Mark and Angie were great! I used them to sell my home and buy my current home. The housing market today is crazy to say the least but Samara and her team made the selling of my home a great and stress free experience. They listed the home at a price point that was fair and yielded more than asking price. Then Mark was able to not only find me a home in this crazy market, but his advice and experience enabled me to place a wining offer after the seller was apprehensive about my VA loan. To top it off, Marks due diligence and hard work, in a market where people are overpaying just to be considered, Mark was able to get in my home with equity already incurred. Simply Amazing!!! I Highly RECCOMEND SMART CHOICE!

Excellent service. I have recently relocated to NC and was able to find a good home in a short time. Great job Mark and team for their flexibility in showing properties and providing great guidance. I highly recommend Smart Choice Realty, it was great working with Mark as he made the process much easier for me as I was the first time home buyer. Thank you!

Actions speak louder than words…House sold in one weekend with so many offers we had to stop showings early. Samara was responsive to all my queries. Angie was also very helpful and responsive. And saved a few bucks as well?Great job!!!

We were surprised with the care that Smart choice offered us from the start to finish. Staging property to having showings and follow up to the sale of your property. Listen to Samara for she will guide you and she will give you happy results. Yes, you will pocket some extra money.
