Expert Home Selling at 2% Commission

Selling Your Home Is More Complicated Than It Looks

You've lived in this home. You've made memories here. And now you're trying to price it right, prepare it for strangers to walk through, negotiate with buyers you've never met, and time everything perfectly — all while planning your next move. It's a lot to manage, and one wrong step can cost you thousands.

Maybe you've been burned by an agent before who overpromised and underdelivered. Maybe you're not sure what your home is actually worth in today's market. Maybe you're trying to coordinate the sale of your current home with the purchase of a new one and the logistics feel impossible.

Sound familiar?

You don't know if you're pricing too high or leaving money on the table

You're worried about your home sitting on the market too long

You need to sell but you're not sure where you're going next

You want an agent who communicates — not one who goes silent after the listing agreement is signed

You're trying to time your sale and your next purchase without ending up in between homes

Seller Representation

Strategic, Transparent, and Always in Your Corner

Selling your home is one of the most significant financial transactions of your life — and you deserve an agent who treats it that way. My seller representation service is designed to take the stress off your plate and put a proven strategy in its place. From pricing your home competitively to marketing it effectively to negotiating the best possible terms, I handle every detail so you can focus on what's next.

What makes my approach different is simple — I combine real estate expertise with a level of financial and analytical depth that most agents simply can't offer.

I know how to read the market, position your home to attract the right buyers, and negotiate from a place of knowledge and confidence. And I do it all at a straightforward 2% commission — because expert representation shouldn't cost more than it needs to. If you're also purchasing your next home with me, that drops to just 1% — saving you even more at the closing table.

Client Stories

  • "Claire listed and sold our home and negotiated a leaseback that gave us the time we needed to transition smoothly into our next chapter."

    “She was responsive, professional, and a true advocate throughout the entire process — even during some challenging moments. She never missed a beat. Claire started as our realtor and became a lifelong friend."

    — GREG

  • "Claire sold our Pittsboro home in just 17 days "

    “At a time when other homes in the area were sitting on the market for 90 days or more. She was thorough and proactive, revisiting the listing multiple times to make sure nothing was overlooked and keeping it fresh and competitive. When a difficult buyer's agent tried to push for undeserved credits, Claire held firm and protected our interests without hesitation. She's a quick thinker and a true professional. I couldn't have asked for a better advocate."

You're not just getting an agent. You're getting someone who genuinely cares about where you land.

Selling a home is not just a transaction — it's a transition. And the agent you choose to guide you through it matters more than most people realize. I've been on both sides of the table. I've represented builders, worked with buyers, and navigated the kind of complex, high-stakes negotiations that reveal exactly what an agent is made of. That experience shapes every listing I take on.

I'm not a high-volume agent juggling dozens of clients at once. When you work with me, you get my full attention, my honest assessment, and my genuine commitment to getting you the best possible outcome. I'll tell you what your home is worth — not what you want to hear. I'll flag potential issues before they become problems. And I'll be there every step of the way, from our first conversation to the closing table and beyond.

And when it comes to commission — I believe expert representation should be accessible. At 2.5% — or just 2% if I'm also helping you find your next home — you keep more of your equity without sacrificing an ounce of service, strategy, or advocacy.

Here's How It Works

01

Let's Connect

We start with a free consultation — a quick call or video chat where I learn about your home, your timeline, and your goals. No pressure, no obligation, just an honest conversation about what selling looks like for you.

02

Let's Price It Right

I'll conduct a thorough analysis of the market and your home's unique features to determine the most strategic list price — one that attracts serious buyers and maximizes your return.

03

Let's Make It Official

Once we've aligned on pricing and strategy, we'll sign a written Listing Agreement that outlines the terms of our working relationship — including the listing price, duration, compensation, and my duties to you as your agent. Everything is transparent and in writing from day one so there are no surprises along the way.

04

Let's Get Your Home Ready

Before we list, I'll walk through your home with a critical eye and share honest, practical recommendations for preparation — whether that's a fresh coat of paint, minor repairs, or professional staging. I'll connect you with trusted vendors who meet my standard of care.

05

Let's Go Live

Your home hits the market with professional photography, a compelling listing, and a targeted marketing strategy designed to reach the right buyers quickly. I'll monitor activity closely and keep the listing fresh and competitive throughout.

07

 Let's Close

From contract to closing, I'll coordinate every moving part — inspections, repairs, attorney communications, and more — so you can focus on what's next. And when you hand over those keys, you'll know you got the best possible outcome.

06

Let's Negotiate

When offers come in, I'll review every detail, advise you on the strongest terms, and negotiate confidently on your behalf — protecting your bottom line and your timeline every step of the way.

What Does it Cost?

I believe expert representation should be transparent, fair, and accessible.  

That's why my commission structure is straightforward — no hidden fees, no surprises at the closing table.

• 2.5% commission when I represent you as your listing agent

• 2% commission to list your home when you also work with me as your buyer's agent on your next home purchase — plus, on that purchase, my compensation as your buyer's agent is whatever the seller of that home is offering (typically covered through seller concessions), so there's no separate out-of-pocket cost to you on the buy side

• My listing commission is 2.5%. If you're also buying your next home with me, that rate drops to 2% — a discount for keeping both transactions with one agent.

To put it in perspective — on a $500,000 sale, my 2.5% listing commission comes to $12,500. If you're also buying your next home with me, that rate drops to 2% — $10,000 — putting an extra $2,500 back in your pocket.

Selling doesn't have to be stressful. It starts with one simple conversation and I'll take it from there.
