How Much Could You Save Selling Your Home in The Preserve?

Your neighbors have already saved $44,885 in commissions

If you’re selling in The Preserve and buying another home in Middle Tennessee, you may not need to pay a listing commission at all.


Yes - Really!


This isn’t about cutting corners.


It’s about structuring the commission differently when the situation allows.


And with my day-to-day listing agreement, you’re never locked into a long-term contract — giving you complete flexibility.

Selling & Buying Locally? Here’s how it works:


When you sell and purchase at the same time, I eliminate one side of the commission entirely.


Moving Up


Sell your home: $500,000
Buy your next home: $600,000


  • Traditional listing commission: $15,000
  • Your cost: $0 listing commission


Savings: $15,000


Downsizing


Sell your home: $500,000
Buy your next home: $450,000


  • Traditional buyer-side commission: $13,500
  • Your cost: $0 buyer commission


Savings: $13,500


Over the past 12 years, this approach has helped clients save over $1 million dollars in commissions.

Not Buying Right Away?


If you’re selling without purchasing immediately, my listing rate is typically:


1.5% — half of the traditional 3%


In some situations, it can be reduced even further:


Relocating & Buying Within 90 Days


If I refer you to a trusted agent in your new city and receive a referral fee,
your listing rate could be reduced to approximately 1.0%



Selling Now, Buying Within a Year


If you plan to buy locally within one year — whether renting temporarily or building —
your rate may be reduced further depending on timing.


Every situation is different — let’s take a quick look at yours and see what makes the most sense.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What's the catch?

    There isn’t one.


    You receive full professional representation, full marketing, and full negotiation — just structured differently than the traditional 3% model.


    The only fixed cost is a $399 brokerage transaction fee per transaction. This is not a commission and does not go to me — it is the flat administrative fee charged by the brokerage to process and close the file.


    That’s it.

    • No hidden percentages.
    • No surprise add-ons.
    • No reduced service.

    Before you sign anything, every number is clearly outlined so you know exactly what you’re paying — and what you’re saving.


    Most traditional brokerages, like car dealerships, charge similar administrative fees — they’re just less transparent about it.

  • What if I have an agent I love?

    Relationships matter. If you have a trusted agent — whether a long-time advisor, close friend, or family member — we may be able to structure things so you can still work together while benefiting from my commission-saving model.


    In certain cases, I can coordinate through a referral agreement on the purchase side while still listing your Preserve home at 0% when you buy locally.


    Every situation is unique. Let’s review yours and see what makes the most sense.

  • Will my home sell for less because of the reduced commission?

    Absolutely not.


    Your home is marketed the same way, negotiated the same way, and exposed to the same buyer pool as any other listing. The fee structure has zero impact on how your home is positioned in the marketplace.


    Compensation structure and sale price are two separate conversations.

  • Is this full service?

    Yes. Professional photography, professional showing service, professional signage and monitored lockbox, MLS, social media and syndicated (Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com, etc) exposure, negotiation strategy, contract management, and closing coordination are all included. 


    This is not a limited-service model.

  • Why do you offer this?

    Because I live here.


    Because equity matters.


    Because there is a smarter way to structure commissions — especially when both sides of a transaction are involved.

  • Why haven't I heard about this before?

    Most real estate commissions are structured around a single transaction — either selling or buying — and have followed the same model for decades.


    My approach looks at the entire move.


    When a homeowner is both selling and buying, or when referral partnerships are involved, compensation can be structured differently. That flexibility simply isn’t part of the traditional one-transaction model most agents operate under.


    As former Florida coach Steve Spurrier once said:


    “If you want to be successful you have to do it the way everybody does it and do it a lot better — or you have to do it differently.”


    This model isn’t about cutting corners. It’s about structuring things differently — and smarter — when the situation allows.


    And yes — even a Georgia Bulldog like myself can appreciate a good quote when it fits.


    For the homeowner, that can mean significant savings without sacrificing service or representation.
