Beverly Flat Fee Realtor

Beverly homes sell at 99.3% of their asking price, one of the strongest sale-to-list ratios among Chicago neighborhoods. With 35 homes sold in the past 90 days and properties going under contract in 16 days on average, buyers here recognize value and act on it. When homes sell this close to asking price, paying a 2.5% commission no longer makes sense.

Beverly Market Snapshot (90-Day Data)

The Beverly real estate market features historic single-family homes on tree-lined streets. Here’s what the data shows from the past 90 days of closed sales:

Metric	Value
Median Sale Price	$395K
Days on Market	21 days
Sale-to-List Ratio	99.3%
Homes Sold (90 days)	35
Days to Contract	16 days
Price Reductions	41% of listings

With 35 sales in 90 days, Beverly maintains steady transaction activity for a neighborhood of its character. The 16-day contract timeline shows that correctly priced properties attract serious offers within the first few weeks. The 99.3% sale-to-list ratio confirms that when buyers find the right home at the right price, they pay close to asking.

The 41% price reduction rate—the highest among neighborhoods we track—tells an important story about Beverly’s market dynamics. Many sellers start optimistically and must adjust. However, the 99.3% eventual sale-to-list ratio shows that once prices align with buyer expectations, homes sell at full value.

Your Commission Savings in Beverly

The math on Beverly real estate commissions is straightforward. At the median sale price of $395,000:

Fee Type	Amount
Traditional 2.5% commission	$9,875
Net Gain Realty flat fee	$1,995
Your savings	$7,880

That’s $7,880 more equity you keep at closing. On a higher-priced Beverly property—say $500,000—your savings jump to over $10,500. At $600,000, you’d save more than $13,000.

The traditional commission model assumes your agent needs to spend months finding a buyer. Beverly’s 99.3% sale-to-list ratio tells a different story: when homes are priced right, buyers recognize the value immediately. The question is whether you want to pay $9,875 for that to happen, or $1,995.

Why Pay 2.5% When Beverly Homes Sell at 99.3%?

The 2.5% listing commission was established decades ago when agents had to work for months to find a buyer. They advertised in newspapers, hosted weekend after weekend of open houses, and cold-called everyone in their contact database. That effort justified a percentage-based fee tied to the sale price.

Beverly real estate in 2026 operates on a different model entirely. Your listing hits the MLS on Monday morning, syndicates to Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, and a hundred other websites by Monday afternoon, and reaches active buyers before Tuesday. Correctly priced homes attract offers within the first few weeks.

The market and technology now do the heavy lifting that agents once handled manually. What you still need is an experienced professional who can:

• Price your home correctly using current Beverly comparable sales
• Coordinate professional photography that showcases your home’s architectural character
• Write listing copy that highlights your property’s best features
• Manage showings efficiently and collect meaningful buyer feedback
• Negotiate firmly when offers arrive, maximizing your price and protecting your interests
• Guide you through inspection negotiations, appraisal issues, and closing logistics

You need expertise and experience. You don’t need to pay $9,875 for it when a flat fee covers the same work.

At 99.3% of asking price, Beverly sellers achieve their pricing goals when they price correctly. The key insight from Beverly’s market data is that correct pricing matters more here than almost anywhere else.

The Cost of Overpricing in Beverly

Beverly’s 41% price reduction rate is the highest among the neighborhoods we track. This reflects a market where emotional attachment to historic homes can lead sellers to overprice initially. The unique character of Beverly properties makes direct comparisons challenging, and many sellers believe their home is worth more than the market will bear.

The consequence of overpricing is significant. Every price reduction costs you time, negotiating power, and often money. When a listing sits on the market longer than expected, buyers start asking questions. They wonder what’s wrong with it. They submit lower offers, knowing you’re motivated.

Our pricing approach uses real-time Beverly sales data. We analyze recent comparable sales, adjust for your home’s specific features and condition, and recommend a price designed to generate offers within the first few weeks. The 99.3% sale-to-list ratio proves that correctly priced Beverly homes sell at essentially full asking. The goal is to be in that group from day one, not after a price reduction.
