About Sell for 1 Percent

In business since 2019 the concept of Sell for 1 Percent Realtors is to provide the highest quality of real estate service at a fair price. Our co-founder has been doing real estate since 1998 and our goal is to provide you with the very same service (full service) as we have done for 24 years and nearly 4000 homes sold. The whole idea is not to provide less service for less commission, we want to provide you with more service than you could ever expect for a fair commission, a commission that allows you to keep more of your homes equity (money) in your pocket instead of giving it away to your favorite real estate agent just because we have a license to sell. . . Or could it be called a license to steal. . . You be the judge!
