Selling a House?
Options for Sellers
Family First Realty offers a fully transparent, comprehensive, and affordable menu of services so sellers can choose what they need. Which option is best for you depends on what you as a seller need. When compared to the traditional real estate model, whichever package you select will result in significant savings to you.
Typically seller’s agents make a 3-4% commission when they sell your house. In Rhode Island, the average home sells for close to $500,000. While in Massachusetts a typical home sells for $628,000. That means the seller’s agent typically makes $15,000-$20,000 for selling your home in Rhode Island and $18,000 – $25,000 in Massachusetts. We think that you deserve better!
With our sellers service you will typically not pay more than 2% of the average price of a home (and usually less!)

A NOTE TO SELLERS
The vast majority of home sellers will be fully served with one of these options. However, a small percentage of home sales are so involved and complex that you will need something beyond our Standard Options. Should your home sale fall into that category we will create a customized package just for you based on your needs.
