Are you selling in NYC but dissatisfied with the prospect of paying 6% to a listing agent? Considering selling FSBO in NYC but don’t have enough time? Thinking of hiring a NYC discount real estate broker but unsure of the quality?

Hauseit’s 1% full service NYC listing option is specifically designed for busy home owners who don’t have time to sell FSBO but are still not willing to pay 6% in real estate commissions or work with a NYC discount real estate broker.

Despite surging property prices, major advances in technology and over 50,000 licensed agents competing for business, the average NYC real estate commission has remained firmly between 5-6%. Even if you do find an agent who is willing to charge you closer to 5%, negotiating with listing agents (who are used to earning 6%) is never a pleasant experience.

Instead of negotiating with full-service firms, many prudent NYC home sellers have historically resorted to hiring a publicly advertised NYC discount real estate broker. The problem with this strategy, however, is that these companies may lower your chances of successfully finding a buyer. Why?

Listing agents who openly advertise any form of discounted or ‘alternative’ commission structures often face backlash from fellow agents. Because 90% of all NYC real estate transactions involve two agents, discount listing agents put their sellers at risk of being boycotted or de-prioritized by traditional buyers’ agents who aren’t happy with brokers who openly promote reduced-commission services.

The team at Hauseit has instead taken a softer approach to negotiating and reducing real estate commissions in NYC for sellers who don’t have time to list FSBO.  Hauseit affiliates are traditional, full-service REBNY Member Firms who have agreed to privately reduce commissions for both home buyers (through a NYC commission rebate) and sellers (through our 1% full service listing option). We eliminate the risk to sellers of using a NYC discount real estate broker by pairing our sellers with full-service REBNY member brokers who don’t openly discount their services.

What does Hauseit’s 1% NYC full-service listing option include?

Sellers who work with a Hauseit 1% full-service listing agent can expect to receive an identical if not better level of service than what they’d expect when paying 6% in listing agent commissions. Your sale would be professionally managed from start to finish, including the following items:

• Professional Comparative Market Analysis and Pricing Recommendation

• Custom Photography and Floor Plans

• Full Exposure to Unrepresented Buyers via Comprehensive Listing Syndication (StreetEasy, Zillow, Trulia, etc.)

• Full Exposure to Represented Buyers via RLS Listing Exposure

• Professionally Managed Open Houses and Private Buyer Showings

• Buyer Screening, Offer Review and Negotiation

• Board Package Application and Closing Assistance

Sellers who work with a Hauseit-affiliated full-service NYC listing agent for only 1% can expect an identical level service to what’s offered by an agent who charges 6%.

The only difference for sellers is how much money you’d save in NYC real estate agent commissions. Sellers who work with Hauseit can save up to 5% in commissions while also saving time by having an experienced professional handle the entire sale process.

In NYC, where the median sale price is north of $1.5 million, your commission savings could be $75,000 or more.
