Selling your Kentucky House? New commission plans are here

HardinHomes has revised its full service RE/MAX home selling commission pricing plans to make it easier on you the home seller. We are offering the full package and the house seller gets to choose which real estate commission plan works best for his/her situation.

1) The first option is to pay 4% of the selling price when the deal is done (at closing/settlement) and pay nothing upfront.

2) The second option is for the serious seller and saver. The home seller only pays 3% at closing and pays $695 upfront.

Let's assume your Fort Knox Kentucky area home sells for $200,000. Traditionally you might pay 6% which would be $12,000. With our 4% plan, the commission is $8,000 which is paid using the proceeds from the house. With the 3% plan you can save an additional $1,305 by paying the $695 upfront (1% - $695 = $1,305).

Don't pay 6%
  6% = $12,000
  4% = $8,000 (save $4,000)
  3% = $6,695 (save $5,305 even after paying the $695 upfront fee)

We're excited about these new options to save Fort Knox KY home sellers money, we hope you like them. Tell us what you think and what other options you would like to see.

Things that will sell your Hardin County house

As complicated as real estate is, there are really only two things that will sell your Hardin County Kentucky house, price and exposure.
"Two things, but what about everything else? Aren't condition, location, and supply/demand important?". They are important but those should be factored into the price. For the amenities (beds/bath, finished basement, etc), square footage, supply/demand, and location, your house has a selling (value) range. The condition is what will determine where your house will sell within that range. If you have deferred maintenance, poor curb appeal, and/or a cluttered home then you could be at the bottom of your home's value range. If you want to sell in the shortest time and receive the most money for your home near Fort Knox Kentucky then you should hire an appraiser. An appraiser will cost roughly $250 but will save you time and money.

Exposure is the other thing that will get your house sold. Even if your house is priced way too low, it still won't sell if no one knows about it. On the other hand your home could have the best exposure available and if it's priced too high it won't sell either. The MLS is the most important exposure tool available, the internet is a close second. 84% of home buyers use the internet during their home search.

So if you're asking yourself "Why isn't my home selling?" take a look at your price and evaluate your exposure.
