Uptown represents Chicago's most affordable neighborhood with the fastest sales velocity. Our latest 90-day market analysis reveals why traditional broker commissions don't make sense in today's Uptown market:
When Uptown homes sell in 8 days with 0.94 months of supply, and over 2 homes sell daily, why pay a traditional broker $9,288 to do what the market will do naturally? Our flat fee broker model saves you over $7,000 while providing the same professional service and MLS exposure. In this hot market, pricing accuracy matters more than marketing spend.
Choose a flat fee listing service instead of traditional percentage-based listing fees. Based on our analysis of 207 recent Uptown sales with a $371,500 median price, traditional brokers charge 2.5% listing fee ($9,288) while Net Gain Realty charges just $1,995 flat fee.
Listing fee savings: $9,288 (2.5% traditional) - $1,995 (flat fee) = $7,293 saved on listing fees alone.
Note: Buyer broker compensation is negotiable and varies by situation.
Buyer broker compensation is completely negotiable and depends on your specific situation. In Uptown's red-hot market with 8 days median time on market, competitive compensation attracts buyers while still saving thousands overall.
Our approach: We help you determine competitive buyer agent compensation based on current Uptown market conditions and your home's specific situation. Every scenario is different.
Absolutely, especially in Uptown's red-hot seller's market. All listings receive identical MLS exposure regardless of commission structure. With Uptown homes selling in 8 days and 76.10% sell-through rate, market conditions drive sales more than marketing efforts.
Bottom line: In Uptown's seller's market, your home's price and condition matter infinitely more than commission percentage.
