Would you believe I paid $13.77 for a Quarter Pounder and fries at McDonald’s?
That same meal used to cost about $5. The food did not change — just the price. That is a 175% increase for the same burger and fries.
Now, let’s compare that to real estate.
A typical home sale involves a 2.5% commission.
2.5% is far lower than 175% — and unlike fast food, it gets you far more value, not less.
That percentage covers expert marketing, staging advice, professional photography, negotiations, buyer outreach, contracts, liability protection — and most importantly, the skill to secure you the highest possible price.
But here is the difference: McDonald’s gives you the same burger for more money.
I give you a smoother sale, stronger results, and often a higher return than you could achieve on your own.
When you look at it that way, 2.5% is not expensive — it is the solution. It is the smartest investment you can make when selling your home, turning what most people see as a “cost” into value that pays for itself many times over.
