Asked How much is your commission for selling my home?

Listings and Pricing answered Great question! Here's how our commission structure works for sellers: Standard listing commission: 5% of the sale price - This covers both the listing side and the buyer's agent side of the transaction - No upfront fees — you only pay at closing, and only if your home actually sells - Included at no extra charge: professional photography, a 3D virtual tour, and your MLS listing Discounts that may apply to you: - Repeat clients — if you've previously bought or sold a home with Maplewood Realty, your listing commission drops to 4.5% - Military and veterans — active-duty and veteran clients receive a 10% rebate of the commission received, paid back to you at closing We also don't charge any administrative or "transaction" fees on top of commission. If you'd like, a great next step would be a free Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to see what your home might sell for in today's market — no obligation to list afterward. Want me to point you toward scheduling that, or do you have questions about the selling process first?

Asked Do you offer any discounts on commission?

Listings and Pricing answered Yes, Maplewood Realty offers a couple of commission discounts: 1. Military and Veterans: Active-duty military and veteran clients receive a 10% rebate of the received commission at closing. 2. Repeat Clients: Sellers who previously bought or sold a home with us qualify for a reduced 4.5% listing commission (compared to our standard 5%). A few other things worth noting: - Our standard listing commission is 5%, covering both the listing and buyer's agent sides — no upfront fees, and payment only happens at closing if the home sells. - We don't charge buyers or sellers any administrative or "transaction" fees. - In most transactions, buyer's agent commission comes out of the seller's proceeds, so buyers typically pay nothing directly for representation. If you'd like to see whether you qualify for one of these discounts or want a personalized estimate for your situation, feel free to reach out to an agent at (518) 555-0147 or hello@maplewoodrealty.example.com to get started.

Asked What's included in your listing price of $389,000 on Birchwood Lane?

Listings and Pricing answered Happy to clarify! The $389,000 is the asking price for the home at 14 Birchwood Lane in Delmar — that figure reflects the property itself, not a service fee. Here's what that price gets you: Property details: - Colonial-style home, built in 1994 - 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms - 2,150 sq ft of living space - Updated kitchen - Fenced yard - Two-car garage - Located in the Bethlehem school district - Property taxes are approximately $8,900/year (separate from the sale price, but good to budget for) If you're asking about our commission on the sale side, that's a separate topic — our standard listing commission is 5% of the sale price (covering both listing and buyer's agent sides), paid by the seller at closing only if the home sells. Buyers typically don't pay anything directly for agent representation. If you'd like to see the home in person or get more details (like inspection reports or disclosures once available), I can help you schedule a showing — just call (518) 555-0147 or email hello@maplewoodrealty.example.com with a couple of time windows that work for you. Would you like me to help with next steps on this one?

Asked How long does it typically take to sell a home with you?

Listings and Pricing answered Great question! Here's what to expect in the current Capital Region market: Time to accepted offer: Homes listed with Maplewood Realty currently average 21 days to get an accepted offer. Well-priced homes in popular neighborhoods often see multiple offers in the very first weekend after listing — our open house strategy (typically the first Saturday or Sunday) plays a big role in that early momentum. Time to closing after acceptance: Once an offer is accepted, our average buyer closes in 45–60 days, accounting for attorney review, inspection, mortgage/appraisal, and final walkthrough steps. So all together, from listing to keys-in-hand for the new buyer, sellers are typically looking at roughly 2–3 months total, though pricing, condition, and neighborhood demand can shift that timeline. Next step: If you'd like a more specific estimate for your home, I'd recommend requesting a free Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) — there's no obligation to list afterward. You can reach us at (518) 555-0147 or hello@maplewoodrealty.example.com to get started.
