Where Excellence Meets Value.

At Silver Fox Properties, we value relationships over profit. Therefore, we recommend listing at 4.5%, where we take LESS commission than we offer out to an agent who brings a qualified buyer. This motivates buyer’s agents and increases the quality of approved buyers and exposure on your property. Our goal is maximize the amount of money our clients make and earn opportunities to help more people.

OUR STEPS TO

SELLING YOUR HOME

Selling a home takes more than putting a sign in the yard. The value of using a qualified and experienced agent is far greater than the cost, and not all listing agents are the same. The right listing agent will be able to sell your home for the highest amount in the right timeframe that fits your needs. Listed below are the main steps to list your home. Contact us today to schedule your Listing Consultation!

STEP 1: Listing Consultation

Create a specific game plan, unique to your needs.

STEP 2: Transactional Paperwork

We work with our Transaction Coordinator to create and plan your listing timelines and strategy.

STEP 3: Marketing

We schedule your listing photos and begin our strategy to get your home marketed correctly. If an Open House is right for your property, we begin planning the event.

STEP 4: We go LIVE!!

Your listing is launched to literally tens of thousands of buyers looking in your area. We use Silver Fox Relocation’s database to proactively target potential buyers who are relocating to your specific area. We are the ONLY company in the US to use this proprietary method.

STEP 5: Accepting an Offer

Once offers are made, we advise our clients in the process of choosing the best offer.

We are experts in negotiating repairs and/or replacement of any potential issues with the home. No home is perfect, but we can overcome any possible issue to ensure a smooth transaction.

Commission Law Changes by the NAR

effective August 17, 2024

The NAR Commission Settlement is a change in real estate practices aimed at increasing transparency and promoting fairness in how real estate commissions are disclosed and negotiated.

Negotiable: Real estate commissions have always been negotiable. This means that buyers and sellers have the flexibility to discuss and agree upon commission rates with their agents.
Traditional Payment Structure: Traditionally, it has been the seller who pays the agent commissions. This arrangement has been common because buyers already face significant upfront costs, including the down payment and closing costs.

What’s Changing with the NAR Settlement on August 17, 2024?

Transparency: Under the new NAR settlement, instead of commission details being automatically included in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) listings, agents must explicitly disclose whether they are offering a buyer commission. Consessions can still be offered on the MLS, especially for Buyer’s Closing Costs.
Buyer Broker Agreement Requirement: In order to go see homes with an agent, a buyer will need a signed agreement with an agent. This agreement acknowledges your representation, the duties your agent will perform, and in some cases, an agreement for future compensation.
