Question 1

What does AATRealty charge to list my home?

Accepted Answer

AATRealty offers qualifying sellers a 1% listing commission while providing full-service real estate representation. Brokerage compensation is negotiable and specific terms are established in the listing agreement.

Question 2

What home price range qualifies for the 1% listing commission?

Accepted Answer

Our 1% listing commission is designed primarily for homes priced over $500,000. For homes priced below $500,000, AATRealty typically charges a 1.5% listing commission. Final commission terms are confirmed in the listing agreement.

Question 3

Which homes qualify for AATRealty’s listing service?

Accepted Answer

AATRealty works with a wide range of residential properties, including resale homes, luxury homes, custom homes, and new-construction properties throughout Texas. Most homes qualify for our full-service listing program, although commission structure may vary based on the property’s price, location, condition, and marketing needs. Homes priced $500,000 and above typically qualify for our 1% listing commission, while homes below $500,000 are generally offered at a 1.5% listing commission.

Question 4

Is AATRealty a full-service brokerage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AATRealty provides full-service representation from pricing and property preparation through marketing, negotiations, contract management, inspections, appraisal, and closing.

Question 5

Does a negotiated or flexible commission mean I get less service?

Accepted Answer

Not at AATRealty! This is the biggest advantage of our boutique approach. Because we own our media and architectural design companies (DallasPro and 3DHomeMedia), our overhead costs are much lower than traditional corporate brokerages. We pass those savings on to you in the form of flexible, negotiable commissions—while still providing our complete luxury marketing package and 24/7 expert representation.

Question 6

How do we figure out the exact commission rate for my home?

Accepted Answer

It starts with a simple conversation! We will evaluate your property, discuss your timeline, and listen to your financial goals. From there, we will design a customized marketing plan and a commission structure that makes the most sense for you. Contact us today to get the conversation started.

Question 7

Are there any hidden fees I should know about?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. At AATRealty, we pride ourselves on complete transparency. Your customized commission structure will be clearly outlined and agreed upon in your listing agreement before we ever take a photo or put a sign in your yard. There are no surprises at the closing table.

Question 8

What exactly is included in your listing fee?

Accepted Answer

Our full-service listing fee includes everything you need to sell your home for top dollar. This covers Broker Tara's expert pricing strategy, full contract negotiation, and our unmatched in-house marketing suite. Every listing receives magazine-style photography, 3D virtual tours, drone footage, and aggressive social media marketing to ensure maximum exposure across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

Question 9

What is included in your listing marketing?

Accepted Answer

Our marketing may include professional real estate photography, video, aerial photography, 3D tours, property websites, social media marketing, digital advertising, floor plans, and other promotional materials based on the property.

Question 10

Do sellers pay extra for professional photography and marketing?

Accepted Answer

No. For qualifying listings, our professional marketing package is included as part of our listing service without a separate upfront marketing fee.

Question 11

How do you determine the right listing price?

Accepted Answer

We analyze recent comparable sales, active competition, neighborhood trends, property condition, upgrades, buyer demand, and current market conditions to develop a pricing strategy for your home.

Question 12

Do you work with luxury homes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AATRealty represents luxury, custom, new-construction, and resale properties throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth area and across Texas.

Question 13

Can you help prepare my home before it goes on the market?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can provide recommendations regarding repairs, updates, staging, presentation, and marketing preparation to help position the property effectively before launch.

Question 14

How will buyers find my property?

Accepted Answer

In addition to MLS exposure, we market listings through major real estate websites, professional photography and video, social media, digital campaigns, agent outreach, and property-specific marketing.

Question 15

Do I have to pay the buyer's agent's commission?

Accepted Answer

No. Under the new real estate guidelines, sellers are not required to offer a set compensation to the buyer's agent on the MLS. However, offering a concession to help buyers cover their agent's fees can still be a highly effective marketing strategy to attract more offers. Broker Tara will help you weigh the pros and cons to decide what strategy is best for your specific home sale.

Question 16

Do you negotiate offers for the seller?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Negotiation is a major part of our service. We evaluate the complete terms of each offer—including price, financing, contingencies, closing timeline, concessions, and other contract terms—to help sellers make informed decisions.

Question 17

Can you help if I am selling and buying another home at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can coordinate the timing of both transactions and help structure closing dates, leasebacks, financing considerations, and other terms when possible to make the transition smoother.

Question 18

Do you work with sellers who have already tried to sell their home?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your property was previously listed or did not sell, we can evaluate the prior pricing, presentation, marketing, showing activity, and buyer feedback to develop a new strategy.

Question 19

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Contact AATRealty to schedule a consultation and property evaluation. We will review your home, current market conditions, recommended pricing, marketing strategy, and estimated selling costs before you decide whether to list.
