What Sellers Always Ask Me

The most common question I get from sellers is:
“What’s taking so long to sell?”

The answer is in these numbers — with an 86-day average to contract and some homes sitting 200+ days, it’s pricing and preparation, not commission.

The data shows homes sell in 0 days or 208 days depending on price and prep — not commission. Paying 5% (3% listing + 2% buyer) doesn’t speed things up. Uber Realty’s 1% listing + 2% buyer structure keeps sellers in control and saves thousands without sacrificing exposure.

Example Math

  • Typical 5% on a $500,000 home = $25,000

  • Uber Realty 1% + 2% buyer = $15,000

  • Savings: $10,000

Three Smart Prep Tips

(Backed by research from Zillow, Realtor, Redfin, Homes, and HomeLight)

  • Condition Sells – Fresh paint, updated lighting, and curb appeal drive quicker offers.

  • Transparency Matters – Pre-listing inspection reports build buyer confidence.

  • Marketing Beyond MLS – Professional photos and video walkthroughs outperform “just listed” blasts.

In Swift Creek, homes don’t sell faster because you pay a higher commission. They sell because they’re priced right, presented well, and negotiated smartly.
