According to the Coloradoan, Fort Collins’ average home price in 2019 was $430,887. With the average realtor fee being a whopping 6%, you’re looking at paying your seller $25,000. There has to be a way to save money, right?
Here at Mountain State Realty, we believe there is. As real estate agents in Northern Colorado, we believe the current pay structure is outdated and unfair. As a homeowner, you should be able to get a full-service real estate agent at a price that’s equitable and allows you a return on your investment. Our flat-fee service means we’ll list your house for only $3,500, saving you thousands of dollars.

For Sale by Owner
One option, of course, is to sell your home in Northern Colorado yourself. While we don’t necessarily recommend this method, it’s certainly an option you could pursue that has worked for other people. This will save you some money — especially compared to a traditional realtor — but you’ll still invest money along with a lot of time, energy, and stress.
