Questions
Selling with J.R., answered.
Is a 4% total fee really full service?
Yes. Your home goes on the MLS like any other listing, and you also get a dedicated website for the home, its own Google Ads campaign, syndication to 147+ real estate sites, a custom yard sign, professional negotiation and a free one-year home warranty. The savings come from skipping big-box office overhead, not from cutting service.
How much will I save compared with a 6% commission?
On a $500,000 sale, about $10,000. The total fee is 4% instead of 6%, so your savings are roughly 2% of your sale price. Try the savings calculator above with your own price.
What if I change my mind after listing?
J.R.'s listing agreement is simple: you decide when the listing ends, with no questions asked.
Does the 4% include the buyer's agent?
The 4% example includes 1.5% for the listing side and 2.5% offered to a buyer's agent. Since 2024, buyer's agent compensation is negotiated separately in each sale, and J.R. will walk you through your options.
Which areas do you serve?
Ann Arbor and all of Washtenaw County, including Ypsilanti, Dexter, Saline, Chelsea, Scio Township, Pittsfield Township and Ann Arbor Township.
What does the free home warranty cover?
It's a one-year plan from America's Preferred Home Warranty, a Michigan company, that helps cover repairs to major home systems and appliances for your buyer. It takes effect when your home sells and costs you nothing.
