This question is typically market dependent & may require you to do some research on your side of things. The following information that I provide within this article does pertain to the Northeast Wisconsin market, however, does not mean these numbers apply to all brokerages. Please contact a local real estate broker for more info!
Now, getting into the cost of listing your home with a real estate agent in Appleton. Most real estate agents charge between 5-7%. The real question you should be asking is what is included in the listing commission fee. What I mean by this... will your Realtor higher a professional photographer, stage the house, have a pre-listing checklist, have a list of service providers to contact, and the list can go on.
Or will they be like your normal run of the mill agent & just take photos on their cell phone and call it a day? You want to make sure and ask the important questions upfront so you can make sure you are only paying for the best. When it comes to selling a home it is important that your Realtor be an experienced "marketer" and not just a fraud.
The other way to avoid paying a real estate commission is by selling your home to a local real estate investor. CB Home Solutions buys houses throughout the fox valley & can close quick. In this type of transaction you WILL NOT get the same price you would get on the retail market, however, you do get the speed & convenience of a quick sale.
