Sell Your Northern Virginia Home With a Smarter Commission Strategy

There is no set rate — commissions are fully negotiable and vary by brokerage, property and agreement.

What a seller pays depends on the services included, the price point and what's agreed in writing. Our listing fees are available from 1.5% on qualifying homes, and we'll show you exactly what's included before you sign anything.

It's our listing-side fee — the portion that pays for our representation, marketing and negotiation.

It is available on qualifying homes that sell for $500,000 or more. Buyer-agent compensation, if you choose to offer it, is a separate line item, as are normal seller closing costs. Final commission, services and eligibility are established in your signed listing agreement.

If your home is expected to sell for $500,000 or more, it likely qualifies.

Other factors — property type, condition and timeline — can affect the structure we recommend. The fastest way to know is a quick valuation conversation. Request a home value report and we'll confirm.

Yes — a lower listing-side fee does not mean reduced representation.

You get professional photography, 3D tour, drone video, full MLS and portal syndication, targeted social advertising, showing coordination, pricing strategy and contract-to-close support. Saad and Arslan personally lead the negotiation.

Yes. Commissions are not set by law and are always negotiable between a seller and a brokerage.

There is no standard or required rate in Virginia. Any agent who tells you otherwise is mistaken. What matters is what you get in return for the fee — get the services in writing before you commit.

No. The 1.5% is the listing-side fee only.

Whether you offer compensation to a buyer's agent — and how much — is a separate decision you control, and it's negotiated as part of the transaction. We'll walk you through the options and what each one typically means for your net proceeds.

Beyond commissions, expect Virginia and county transfer taxes, title and settlement fees, and any pre-listing preparation.

Settlement and recording generally run around $900, with prep costs varying widely depending on the home. Run a seller net sheet to see the full picture for your property.

We price from recent comparable sales in your specific micro-market, then adjust for your home's condition, updates, lot and school assignment.

Automated estimates miss the things that actually move price in Northern Virginia — a cul-de-sac position, a finished basement, a backing-to-trees lot. That's why we look at the property, not just the ZIP code.

No. The valuation is free and comes with no obligation and no listing agreement.

Plenty of the homeowners we talk to are 6–18 months out and simply want a realistic number. That's a perfectly good reason to reach out.

A Northern Virginia listing specialist reviews your property and follows up — usually the same business day.

We'll confirm a few details about the home, walk you through a realistic price range and, if you want it, outline a marketing and pricing plan. No pressure to list.

A move-in-ready home can typically go live within 7–10 days of signing.

That covers photography, 3D tour, drone video, copywriting and MLS setup. If the home needs prep or repairs, we'll build a timeline around that work rather than rushing a listing to market underprepared.

Yes — expired and withdrawn listings are a large part of what we take on.

A listing usually fails for one of three reasons: price, presentation or exposure. We'll review what happened, identify which of the three it was, and rebuild the strategy before it goes back on the market.
