Transparency First: How Our Fees Work
Whether you are selling or buying, we believe in being upfront about the cost of professional representation.
Professional Representation: 3%
Our professional fee for full-service representation is 3%. This ensures you have a dedicated expert by your side to advocate for your best interests and handle every detail of the process:
- For Sellers: This covers a custom listing strategy curated to your situation and goals. expert negotiation, expert negotiation for the highest possible price, and a marketing plan to elevate the presentation of your property. See the marketing plan here.
- For Buyers: This covers comprehensive market analysis, access to off market listings, private showings, and proactive offer strategies to help you win the right home at the right price.
Professional Services & Compliance Fee: $595
In addition to the commission, there is a $595 administrative fee at the time of closing. This covers the high-level “behind-the-scenes” logistics required to keep your transaction secure and compliant, including:
- Compliance Review: Ensuring every legal document meets current state and local regulations.
- Transaction Management: Coordinating complex deadlines, signatures, and disclosures between all parties.
- Secure Document Storage: Maintaining and protecting your digital records for long-term access.
At the Alex Helton Team, we know that we have been blessed to bless others, which is why we are committed to giving back a portion of the proceeds from every closing to various local and international organizations. By partnering with us, our clients play a direct role in supporting life-changing work in Middle Tennessee and around the globe.
In the real estate industry, there is no industry standard or fixed commission amount—fees are always negotiable and vary by firm and agent.
