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.

MLS Listing

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.

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

During my time in North Carolina, Smart Choice Realty sold 3 homes for my wife and I. The last sale was the most difficult due to a personal tragedy, but the team of Samara, Mark, and Angie made the entire process much easier to handle with their efforts and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to sell their home.

I'm still in awe of how quickly and effortless it was for me to sell my townhome.........in four days!! Samara and Angie literally handled everything while I went about my business.I knew I was in good hands when on a late Sunday night I requested a Monday morning appt. to meet with Sam. Sure enough she arrived Monday morning. I knew within a minute that I wanted her to sell my townhome. Best decision I've ever made.If you are ready to sell your home, look no further, Smart Choice Realty is your best option.........by far. You'll be glad you did!

We worked with Samara and her team to sell our home. What a great choice! They are a full service realty firm and we got full service from them at a set discounted listing fee. We saved a lot of money and the sale went through with no problems. I highly recommend them and glad I found them during my realtor search!

We recently sold our home with Samara and she was excellent!! The best complement I can give her is that she had integrity and she did everything she told me she was going to do!! (In today's world this is not the norm anymore/sadly) I met with 3 real estate agents total prior to making a decision and the other 2 came across fake. They made me feel as if I was just another transaction. Samara was very honest, professional, real, and showed that she really cared and wanted to do the best for us. (She lived up to that) The process was straight forward and as easy as it could be. If you are looking to sell or buy, you owe it to yourself to meet with her. Oh and by the way, she saved me some money!!P.S. honorable mention to Angie at the office! Very nice, sweet and professional as well! The photographer Samara send was Excellent!! I wish I remembered his name!Great job Smart Choice!!All my best!!
