Reduced Fee Sales Programs


From inception through June of 2024, Tess has closed 2,416 sales transactions and saved sellers over $36.0 million in fees compared to a traditional 6% fee.  

The firm's average final sale price to the original list price is 98.2% and days on market for our properties average 57 days.  Counterparties to our listings include every well-known firm in the Triangle. The sales point of our listings has run from a high of $1.2 million for an executive estate to $37 thousand for a property that needed some serious renovation.

MDT offers sellers two proven MLS listing options.  Each program offers thousands of dollars in savings.

  • Best in Show -  Full service and support, MLS data entry, and Internet marketing for a listing fee of 1.5% of the sales price (paid at closing).
     
  • Best in Breed - Limited service*, MLS data entry, and Internet marketing for one year for $500.     

Starting in August of 2024, under both sales programs, sellers decide how much they want to offer to buyer agents; recent legislation has removed the expectation of offering a buyer agency fee to the market.  Your My Dog Tess agent can summarize the latest developments for you.  

The programs offer identical internet marketing on Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, and any internet site that pulls data from the MLS.  

However, the limited service option is better suited to sellers who have the experience (and time) to handle negotiations without the assistance of a real estate agent (see details below) and limited service listings are handled exclusively by Glenn Wallace.  

Contact our agents or check out our frequently asked questions for more details.

Tess-timonials

I could not be more pleased with my experience at My Dog Tess. My agent, Jan Cenci, was everything I could have asked for in an agent. She was prompt, informative, kind, and always a great communicator. She made herself very accessible. And, thanks to Jan & MDT, I was able to save thousands of dollars when I decided to use an agent to sell my home. I simply cannot recommend this service enough.
