Rocket Companies has announced a new program remotely connecting home sellers with Rocket Homes real estate agents to help them sell their properties on their own. These agents, according to a press release from Rocket, can advise clients on list pricing, facilitate professional photos, list the house on the local multiple listing service, negotiate offers and handle all paperwork, while receiving a commission of 1.5%. According to Rocket, compared to the traditional fee of 3%, this represents a savings of $4,500 on a $300,000 home sale. This option will be open to the public starting in the fourth quarter of this year.
