Prefer A Flat Fee Commission Structure?

What Does It Cost To Hire An Agent?
Our agents negotiate their own commission structure with each client on every transaction. A good agent will demonstrate their value through deep knowledge of the market they serve and you’ll come to an agreement on what that’s worth to you.
Did You Know?
There is no set standard when it comes to commission. We operate with the expectation that our rates will be absorbed by the value we drive to your property through marketing and negotiating expertise.
What About The Closing Costs?
There’s a lot to explain when it comes to the closing costs. From taxes and insurance to loan origination and beyond, it is something best reviewed through an interactive conversation. Below we’ve provided a downloadable sample closing statement for you to review. As your questions inevitably arise, we’ll be here to help!

Selling a Home in Mesa: Common Questions
What does it cost to sell a home in Mesa?
Your main costs are the listing commission, any compensation you agree to offer a buyer’s broker, title and escrow fees, and prorated property taxes and HOA charges. Commission is always negotiable, and I offer a flat fee listing option instead of a percentage of your sale price.
How long does it take to sell a home in Mesa right now?
It changes month to month. I publish the current median days on market, months of supply, and sale-to-list ratio on the Mesa housing market page, with a plain read on what the numbers mean for sellers.
How do you decide the list price?
I price from closed comparable sales, the homes you will compete against today, and what is under contract right now. Buyers compare your home against their alternatives, so the price has to win that comparison in the first two weeks. Start with a free home valuation.
What do I have to disclose when I sell?
Arizona sellers are expected to tell buyers about known problems with the property. The standard resale contract uses a written Seller’s Property Disclosure Statement for this, and I go through it with you before we list so nothing surprises you during the buyer’s inspection period.
Should I sell, or keep the home and become a landlord?
That depends on the numbers after vacancy, repairs, management, and taxes, and on how long you have before the capital gains exclusion on a primary residence runs out. I lay out the math in selling versus being a landlord.
Can I sell my home and buy the next one at the same time?
Yes. I coordinate both timelines so you are not carrying two homes or left without one, and clients who do both with me qualify for my Buy-Sell-Save program.
Pricing starts with data, not a guess. Check the current Mesa market numbers or request a home value estimate. Rate movement matters too, and the weekly Freddie Mac mortgage rate survey is the cleanest place to track it.
Not sure whether to sell or hold? Run the numbers on selling versus being a landlord, and read what past clients say about working with me.
