Are you planning to sell your home in Maryland or Pennsylvania? One of the biggest expenses sellers face is Realtor commission. In MD & PA, the typical total real estate commission is around 5.5% to 6% of the sale price. Anytime Estimate+2Real Estate U+2 That’s often split between the listing agent (your Realtor) and the buyer’s agent. But what if you could keep all the professional services you need and still pay far less?
At We Sell Harford Homes (visit us at www.wesellharfordhomes.com), we believe you shouldn’t need to compromise service to save money. Here’s how we help sellers like you:
1. Pay Just 1.5% Listing Fee, Full Service
We offer what is among the lowest listing fees in the area—only 1.5%—but with the same full service you’d expect from a traditional Realtor. That means:
- Professional market analysis / pricing guidance
- Full MLS listing
- Professional photography & staging consultations
- Marketing (online, print, social, signage)
- Open houses / showings coordinated
- Negotiation and contract management
- Help through closing
By choosing this option, you keep more of your equity while still having a dedicated, professional Realtor handle everything.
2. Flat-Fee Listing Services
If you want even more flexibility, we also offer flat-fee listing plans. These are ideal for sellers who are comfortable taking on certain tasks (or for homes in simpler markets). Flat-fee listings generally mean:
- A one-time fixed fee (rather than a percentage of the sale price) for listing services
- The option to choose which services you want: MLS exposure, photos, marketing, etc.
- Transparent costs up front—no surprises
3. Why Discounted Realtor Services Make Sense in MD & PA

4. What to Look for When Choosing a Discount or Flat-Fee Realtor
When you’re shopping for discounted Realtor services, make sure the Realtor / brokerage offers:
- An MLS listing: This is essential for exposure.
- Marketing plan: Photos, online listing syndication, maybe a virtual tour.
- Strong negotiation skills: Even with lower fees, the agent must protect your interests.
- Good communication: You want updates, showings scheduled, etc.
- Proven track record in your area (MD or PA) and experience with homes like yours.
