• Current market conditions. What is happening around your home, explained in plain language.
• Preparing and presenting the home. The options, with the reasoning behind each one.
• Offers and paperwork. Offers, counteroffers, disclosures and escrow, with each deadline tracked and explained.

• 1.75% of the sale price, with a minimum of $10,000 and a maximum of $25,000. Hawaii general excise tax is included. You pay nothing up front: our fee comes out of the sale proceeds at closing.
• Handled by Marcus Suzuki (R). Open houses are included when we decide together that they will help your sale.

Paying the buyer's brokerage

Our fee covers only our work as your listing brokerage. Whether to pay the buyer's brokerage, and how much, is up to you. You can:

• Offer an amount up front, which can attract buyers who are working with an agent
• Offer nothing, and leave it to each buyer
• Negotiate it in each offer, along with price and terms
• Give the buyer a credit toward their own costs instead

You set the amount, and how you handle it can make a real difference in what you keep. Before you list, we'll go over recent comparable sales with you and share strategies that can save you money while still attracting buyers. If you choose to offer something, we put the amount in writing and get your approval before it's offered or paid.

Example: on a $1,100,000 sale, our fee is 1.75%. If you also agree to pay a buyer's brokerage 2.5%, the total is 4.25%.

Commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable. Your final terms are the ones in your signed listing agreement. For background, see how real estate commissions work.
