Do I need an agent to sell my house?

No.  A realtor is not needed, but highly recommended to sell homes...but   Realtors know how to handle the many things that can and do go wrong.  Checking the qualification of a potential Buyer, negotiating an offer, closing issues ,contract laws, are just a few of the facts a Realtor faces everyday.  A Realtor is a professional who knows what to do in these circumstances.  If anything should arise through the sale of your home would you know what to do?  

How much does a real estate agent charge?

Realtors charge the Seller a commission percentage for marketing their home for a set amount of time.  Although rates vary from state to state and Broker to Broker, here in Michigan the standard rate of commission widespread is generally 6%.  The comission under most circumstances is split.  Part of the commission goes to the listing agent and the other part to the selling agent (usually 3%).

why .....our success depends on your success..we're in this together!!!

Houses and/or property which are reaching little sales proportion, include foreclosures, new construction, residential lease or rent, vacant land are all a victim of pricing.  We want the value to compete with the prices… but we don’t always have the privilege of getting what we want.  Cheap is not always best, and the best is not always #1.  Traditional real estate and the practices that accompany it, are simple, just not affordable.  Other agencies need to get that.  Even the cheapest of bargain hunters want to be on that SOLD list. 

The objective with Sensible Realty is to offer reduced fees, such as 1% commission in exchange for market knowledge and exposure.  The fees are at a discount.  Our agency offers discount fees, it is not the service that is discounted.  It doesn't make sense for the FSBO or the traditional homeseller to spend money on alternative, or flexible methods of real estate thinking the homeowner will save money while purchasers search homes that are priced right, and properly exposed. To reduce price, should be as simple for the homeseller, as it is for the real estate professional.
Just do it.
