What this record can and cannot show
A past sale describes one property and one transaction. It does not show that a brokerage model caused a particular sale price, marketing period or closing outcome. Condition, pricing, competing inventory, financing and the negotiated terms can all matter.
This update removes the earlier article’s unsupported claims of significant commission savings, faster sales and superior results. An actual savings calculation would require the fees paid and a clearly defined comparison with the same scope. Applying a percentage to the sale price alone does not establish savings.
Choosing services for a new sale
Current Simply List sale plans include FMLS and GAMLS exposure and a listing workspace. Without Help is a customer/transaction-brokerage relationship in which the seller manages pricing, offers, negotiations and contract preparation. With Help provides limited seller representation and the pricing, offer, negotiation, contract and coordination assistance described in the signed agreement.
Today’s plans do not establish the agreement or fees that applied to this historical transaction. For a new listing, compare the current fee, minimum, unrepresented-buyer condition, optional services and responsibilities on the pricing page. Buyer-broker compensation and other transaction costs are separate from the Simply List listing fee.
Use current evidence for a current pricing decision
Compare recent relevant sales and the homes currently competing with your property. Review condition and differences between the properties rather than treating a past result as a promise. With Help sellers may request pricing and CMA guidance; Without Help sellers manage their own pricing decisions.
Review current services and responsibilities before deciding how much broker support you want.
