Questions, answered

The honest answers

Is it really only a 1% fee?
Yes. Sell Your Way lists and sells your home for a 1% listing fee, which is lower than the average listing fee in our market. It is the full, full-service listing, not a stripped-down version, with no hidden add-ons for the listing service.
Do you list on the MLS?
Yes. Every Sell Your Way home goes on the MLS with full syndication to the major sites buyers actually use, including Zillow, Realtor.com, and Homes.com, for maximum exposure from day one.
What is the catch?
There is not one. You tell us about your home and your goals, and we handle everything else: pricing guidance, a trusted network of photographers and marketers, the MLS listing, print and digital marketing, fielding buyer and agent interest, coordinating showings, negotiation, contracts, and closing.
Who do you serve?
Charleston homeowners who are ready to sell, and local builders who want professional listing and marketing support for their homes.
