Success Story: How Assist 2 Sell’s Flat-Fee Program Helped Save Our Seller Over $39,000 in Commission Fees

At Assist 2 Sell, HomeWorks Realty, we believe that selling your home shouldn’t come with a hefty price tag. Our recent success story at 5122 Livingstone Street in Halifax is proof that our flat-fee program delivers exceptional results while saving homeowners significant money in commission fees. Here’s how we helped one Halifax homeowner sell their property over asking price while keeping more of their hard-earned equity.

The Property: 5122 Livingstone Street, Halifax

List Price: $649,000

Final Sale Price: $700,000 (Sold Over Asking)

This stunning home at 5122 Livingstone Street attracted plenty of interest thanks to its location, appeal, and the comprehensive marketing support provided by our team. With a list price of $649,000, the property received multiple offers and eventually sold for $700,000, well above the asking price. The seller achieved an impressive result without having to compromise on savings.

How Assist 2 Sell’s Flat-Fee Program Worked for This Seller

When this client chose Assist 2 Sell’s flat-fee program, they knew they’d receive top-tier service for a fraction of the cost. Here’s how it worked:

• Transparent Flat Fee of $7,995 Plus HST
• Rather than the typical percentage-based commission, we charged a simple, transparent flat fee of $7,995 plus HST. For this sale, that meant an outstanding saving on commission fees.

The Buyer’s Agent Was Paid Separately

While Assist 2 Sell showcased the property to the buyer, they ultimately wrote their offer through another agent. At the Buyer’s insistence, the buyer was responsible for paying their agent directly, ensuring that the seller did not incur additional fees.

A Significant Savings for the Seller

In a traditional commission model, selling at $700,000 would have resulted in commission fees of approximately 6%, which amounts to $42,000 plus HST for a total of $48,300. . Thanks to our flat-fee approach, the seller saved $39,100 in commission fees, allowing them to keep more of their profits. Our program gives sellers the opportunity to sell their home for this flat fee, and it gives buyers the opportunity to negotiate the services they choose. In other words, we offer flexibility and transparency.

What Our Flat-Fee Program Includes

Our flat-fee model doesn’t mean compromising on service or results. Here’s what we delivered to ensure the property sold quickly and over asking:
