Commission is negotiated — it’s not set by law. In most instances, the seller contracts with their Realtor for services at a specific fee, typically a percentage of the selling price, and the buyer contracts with their Realtor separately. What matters isn’t just the percentage. It’s the strategy, marketing exposure, negotiation, and contract management behind it. Our role is to protect your equity, position your home competitively in the local market, and protect your interests.

Pricing is a strategy — not a guess. We analyze recent comparable sales in Concord and surrounding towns like Bow, Hopkinton, and Pembroke, evaluate current competition, and assess buyer demand and market pace. Overpricing costs time and leverage. Underpricing without intent can cost money. The goal is to position your home where demand meets value — and, when possible, generate strong terms through competition.

Focus on impact. You don’t need a full renovation. You do need: • Deferred maintenance addressed • Clean, decluttered spaces • Neutral presentation • Professional photography Buyers shopping in the Greater Concord market move quickly. Preparation directly affects perceived value — and perceived value impacts offers.

Typical seller costs in New Hampshire may include: • Realtor commission • NH transfer tax (customarily split between buyer and seller) • Title company and other miscellaneous fees • Prorated property taxes and utilities Before listing, we will provide a clear net proceeds estimate so you understand your numbers before making decisions.

The contract phase begins. From there: • Earnest money is deposited • Inspections are completed • The appraisal is ordered • Loan underwriting moves forward Most transactions in the Concord area require careful navigation during inspection and financing. Our role is to manage risk, negotiate strategically, and keep the transaction on track through closing.

It depends on your financial flexibility and risk tolerance. Selling first provides clarity and negotiating strength. Buying first may reduce time pressure but can require bridge financing or strong liquidity. In markets like Concord and Bow, timing matters. We build the coordination plan before either property hits the market.

Interview them. Ask about their experience and how they price in your specific town. Ask how they handle inspection negotiations. Ask how they respond if an appraisal comes in low. You want someone who understands the local market dynamics and treats this like a business —not a side project.
