Our standard listing commission for selling a home is 5% of the sale price, which covers both the listing side and the buyer's agent side — there's no separate fee for either. You only pay it at closing, and only if the home actually sells; there are no upfront fees, and no administrative or transaction fees are ever added on top. A couple of things that could lower that rate for you: - If you're a repeat client (someone who previously bought or sold a home with Maplewood Realty), you'd qualify for a reduced 4.5% listing commission. - If you're active-duty military or a veteran, you'd receive a 10% rebate of the commission we receive, applied at closing. Before listing, we also provide a free Comparative Market Analysis so you can see what your home might sell for, with no obligation to list. If you'd like to get that started or talk through your specific situation, I'd encourage you to reach out to the office at (518) 555-0147 or [email protected].

Yes, we do. Active-duty military members and veterans receive a 10% rebate on the commission we receive at closing. And if you've previously bought or sold a home with Maplewood Realty, you qualify as a repeat client and get a reduced listing commission of 4.5% instead of our standard 5%. Beyond that, we don't charge any administrative or transaction fees to buyers or sellers, and there are no upfront costs for selling — commission is only paid at closing if the home actually sells. If either of these discounts might apply to you, feel free to reach out to the office at (518) 555-0147 or [email protected] and one of our agents can walk you through the specifics for your situation.

The Birchwood Lane listing at $389,000 is a Colonial-style home in Delmar with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, totaling 2,150 square feet, built in 1994. It comes with an updated kitchen, a fenced yard, and a two-car garage. It's located in the Bethlehem school district, and estimated annual property taxes are around $8,900. If you're asking about what services or costs are bundled with the price for a buyer, that $389,000 is simply the property's list price — it doesn't include closing costs, which typically run about 2–4% of the purchase price for buyers (covering things like attorney fees, title insurance, and inspections). If you'd like, I can walk you through what a typical offer and closing process would look like for this property, or you can reach our office at (518) 555-0147 to schedule a showing or ask more specific questions about the home.

Homes we list in the Capital Region currently average about 21 days to get to an accepted offer, and well-priced homes in popular neighborhoods often see multiple offers within the first weekend of listing. That said, once an offer is accepted, closing typically takes another 45–60 days while attorney review, inspection, mortgage processing, and appraisal steps play out — so from list to keys-in-hand, sellers are usually looking at roughly two to three months total, sometimes faster. If you'd like a more specific estimate based on your home's location, condition, and price point, our agents can walk through that with you as part of a free Comparative Market Analysis. Just give us a call at (518) 555-0147 or email [email protected] to set that up.
