Realtor Fees Explained: How Much You Really Pay

List Your Home With A Local Realtor For 2%* —Keep More of Your Home’s Equity

Traditional agents often charge 5–6% in total commission.
My model is simple. We negotiate the buyer’s agent commission on average to 2%. Which for our sellers typically means: 2% listing commission + 2% buyer’s agent fee = 4% total commission. That’s more money that stays in your pocket — often $10,000 to $20,000 in savings depending on your home’s price.*

With over 50+ 5 Star Reviews, Ashley Howie is a highly recommended and top rated realtor.

Ashley helped my wife and I buy our first home, and we couldn't be happier. We ran into some outside difficulties, and she helped us resolve them, even though it wasn't her job to do so. Ashley was very responsive to us when we needed her help, and helped us find exactly what we were looking for. Ashley was able to guide us in our negotiating in a competitive bidding war, and helped us get our dream starter home. It felt like hitting a home run on the first pitch. I would highly recommend working with Ashley as your Realtor.

Ashley is amazing! We had VERY difficult buyers AND sellers. She handled everything for us efficiently and professionally. Ashley went above and beyond for us and we couldn't be more grateful! She was always available for us and despite some of the bad news (buyers were crazy) she was always positive and sweet. In the end we end up with good buyers and our asking price. Honestly, she worked her butt off for us. I recommend her 100%.

Ashlie responded timely and openly during a very rough ride. I had a buyer before the property was listed. The other realtor misrepresented a buyer who was supposedly already approved for an appropriate loan amount. Time passed and still no loan. We ended up dropping that buyer due to numerous delays. I had a second buyer, who had cash. This buyer was not ready to move. His spouse insisted so he took his anger out on me. Ashlie rose to the occasion and weathered a few calls from me and him that were less than pleasant. I have to say, she handled all of this with professionalism and aplomb.

It was a breeze selling my house with Anna Howie. She kept me informed of the options, the timelines, the process through out the selling process. I was a bundle of nerves but Anna was there to listen to me and help me make my own mind up. Anna had my place sold in no time, Great job Anna! and thank you for making this stressful process as easy as possible.

From start to finish, it was a pleasure working with Ashley. (BTW, some of the other reviews refer to Anna ... same person).
I live on the East Coast and needed to sell the house quickly, but wanted a fair price for it. She knew how to price the property. She helped me get it ready for presentation. We quickly found a buyer at a fair price. Then she helped me through the escrow process.
Although she charges less commission than other agents, I can't imagine a full-price agent giving better service than she did. If I ever needed to buy or sell property in Southern California again, I would go straight to her.

Ashley was very professional at all times. She had thorough knowledge of her field. She completed An impossible sale in less than 30 days from signing the contract to closing the deal and completing escrow. Even with the worst tenants who refused to move out, pay rent, or show the property, Ashley took charge and took on the challenge with her great team and vast network of buyers and got our home sold in less than 30 days. Outstanding realtor and I absolutely recommend her highly!

Anna Howie's efforts made the difficult process of selling my family home as easy as possible. Her efforts also made it a less anxiety producing event especially since I lived more than an hour away.
From the beginning, she provided good advice including a market analysis that ultimately proved spot on. She remained calm and offered encouragement during the process of readying the property for sale. She answered all my questions quickly and with expert advice. She guided me through the sale/escrow process efficiently.
Overall, I beleive Anna Howie earned a five star rating

Ashley Howie did an excellent job in selling my mother's house as is. Ashley worked very hard in getting us the best offer and escrow closed earlier than I even expected. Because of that, I can easily say that she is not only professionally efficient, but also courteously helpful in dealing with her client. I could easily recommend her to my family, friends and acquaintances. I give Ashley Howie a five-star review.

I was very impressed with Realtor Ashley Howie. She sold my home and was my realtor for the purchase of our current home concurrently. With contingent sales it can be a bit tricky, but Ms. Howie was professional, hardworking and didn't rest until the deal was complete. She handled both sides of the transaction very well and even helped the buyers realtor with their lender issues. She was a great liason with my bank when they had specific questions that I didn't have answers for. She was always available to answer questions as well as offer her expertise in many areas. I would wholeheartedly recommend her with this important task of being your realtor to sell and/or purchase your dream home.

This was my first time buying a home, it’s not a small decision to make and I was completely unaware of all the steps in the process. When I met Omar in a open house Immediately felt at ease and he walked me through every step of the process. Not only was he knowledgeable, he was friendly, polite, personable, and best of all he was professional.
I would absolutely recommend Omar if you are a first time homebuyer or a second or third homebuyer. You will not regret your decision, and you’ll be lucky to have him as your agent
