Glad you asked! Percentage rates can vary. You usually get what you pay for. Some rates seem low but have hidden fees at the end of the transaction. Be wary! My suggestion is to go with a Larger Agency that has a GREAT Reputation! Just as you would not buy a Luxury car for the Price of a Jalopy. You get what you pay for.

The majority of Certified Real Estate Agents charge the same commission rate to list a home. There are some Agents that have differing rates based on what services they offer to a client.

Are you ready to find a top agent near you?

Browse profiles of the highest ranked agents in your area and find one that meets your specific needs.

Hi, this is a great question! Every realtor is their own business so to speak, so they each set their own prices.

No all agents do not charge the same rate of commission. I always recommend interviewing at least 3 Realtors when looking to sell your home.

Can I get more than one realtor?

You recommended one realtor. Harrisburg is a big area so I would like to have 2-4 to choose from. Thanks.
