How the SMART Choice Listing™ Works

The Smart Choice Listing™ requires an upfront marketing fee of $1,995. This fee covers the hard costs so SMART can provide all services listed above throughout the sales process. At closing, the seller pays a significantly reduced sales commission - often only 3% instead of 6% or more. Use the calculator below to see what your potential savings may be with the SMART Choice Listing™.

How this differs from a Traditional Listing

A Traditional Listing Office agrees with the seller on a total commission to list and sell the property – usually a percentage of the sales price. That agency offers to share the commission with the selling agency – often splitting it evenly between the two offices.

Providing innovative and valuable management and real estate services to our clients continues to be the focus of the SMART management team. The exciting new SMART Choice Listing™ is available exclusively to our property management clients. For more information about this program please contact our office.
