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.

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

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!
Response from the owner: Thank you Anneliese, you were wonderful to work with!

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!
Response from the owner: We appreciate your trust Jason!

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!
Response from the owner: Thanks so much! Looking forward to working with you again soon.

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!
Response from the owner: Thanks so much for the nice review Chris! It was great working with you too!

What’s My Home Worth?Schedule Your FREE Listing Consultation

Here’s What We Offer

Since this isn’t the way traditional agents work, you may be wondering what to expect.
Quite a lot, actually.  Here’s what’s included when you list with us:

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.

 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

SAVINGS = $11,050
