Others charge a $3,000 to $5,000 minimum that pushes the effective rate to 2% or higher on lower-priced homes. Service quality swings from \"salaried in-house agent and a full marketing package\" on one end to \"you\u2019ve never met me, my virtual assistant will handle your listing\" on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What works for you depends on more than the listing fee, too.
