For Free Listing Service
How are we able to provide this service?
Many flat fee or MLS only listing companies provide little if any support regarding the complicated intricacies of the home selling process. This lack of consultation can literally cost a seller thousands or increase the risk of litigation. We have a team of professionals that work and protect your interest and asset. We are able to provide greater support, expertise and professionalism because we offer our FREE service to those that are purchasing a qualifying home. Simply put, we look at the value of both sides of the transaction, which allows us to provide a “Full Service” experience for both the selling and buying processes.
*Some restrictions do apply:

1) There’s no minimum sales price on the sale of your current home however, minimum sales price for the purchase of your next home must be $350,000 or greater and at a higher price point than your current home.

2) The properties being sold and purchased must be in the following Middle TN counties: Davidson, Williamson, Wilson, Rutherford, and Sumner. An additional 1% commission fee is added for homes located outside of the geographical area.

3) The only way we can provide our “Free, Full Service” program is if we collect a 3% commission on your purchase. This 3% is currently offered/paid by the seller of the home you are purchasing. In the event said seller is offering less than 3%, say 2.5%, you will pay the difference of .5% on your listing.
**The cost of marketing luxury properties (homes valued at 2 to 3 times the average) can be far greater and might incur additional marketing costs/fees and therefore might incur additional fees.
What is the traditional commission rate charged to sell a home in Tennessee?
Six percent (6%) has been the traditionally charged commission rate. There are no “standard,” “common,” “normal” or “usual” commission structures. All real estate companies are free to charge a rate the property owner and company/agent mutually agreed upon.
What if I'm moving out of Middle Tennessee?
We look at each situation individually and will help you save as much as we can. In some cases, that could mean a reduced percentage if we are able to capture a portion of commission on your move/ purchase side (i.e. referral).
What other costs will you incur when selling your home?
The transaction fee is what the company/brokerage charges a client and is separate from commission. simpliHÅŒM charges a $799 brokerage fee for every transaction.
Commission rates are always negotiable. We do highly recommend that you offer a 3% commission to the selling office/agent (the agent that brings the buyer).
In addition to the above mentioned Broker fees, there are interest and tax prorations, title insurance, termite inspection (VA), HOA fees and closing fees. Approximate numbers to use for the cost to sell a home are: total broker fees (in this case, 3% to the buyers agency) plus 1.5% to 2% of the sales price. So assume around 5% of sales price if we are able to list your house for free. This does not include any negotiated seller contribution towards closing for the buyer.
