Chicago Homeowners Are Asking: Why Pay More in Commission?

The Old Way vs. The New Way

For years, sellers were told, “That’s just the way it is” when it came to high commission rates. But let’s be real — that logic is about as outdated as shag carpet and wood-paneled basements.

It’s 2025, and sellers are smarter than ever. They know the market is tougher (hello, higher rates 👋), buyers are pickier, and every dollar matters. Which is why more and more Chicago homeowners are asking: Why pay more in commission than you need to?

Protecting Your Hard-Earned Equity

Think about it: you’ve put in the work, paid the mortgage, fixed the leaky faucet (twice), and maybe even survived a DIY home project or two that didn’t turn into a TikTok disaster. That equity is yours.

So why would you hand over a chunk of it in unnecessary fees? Spoiler alert: you don’t have to.

Low Commission, Full Service (No Catch)

Here’s the thing people often get wrong: low commission doesn’t mean low service.

When you work with me, you still get:

• MLS exposure + your home blasted across 100+ real estate websites.

• Professional photography (no blurry cell phone pics here).

• Social media and digital marketing that actually gets buyers clicking.

• Negotiation skills sharper than a Chicago-style pizza cutter.

• Start-to-finish guidance so you never feel lost.

The only thing “low” here is the commission. Everything else? Top-notch.

Why Chicago Sellers Are Making the Switch

This isn’t just about saving money (though, let’s be honest, that part is pretty great). It’s about selling smart. Chicago homeowners are realizing they can keep more of their equity and still sell quickly, at top market value. It’s like ordering deep dish and finding out it comes with free garlic bread — a total win.

Final Word: Don’t Pay More Than You Need To

If you’re preparing to sell in Chicago or the suburbs, remember this: high commission rates are optional. And if your agent tells you otherwise, it might be time to politely smile, nod… and then call me.

With my low commission model, you keep more of what’s yours — and still get the full-service treatment you deserve.
