A large corporation sets policy and prices at the top.  The Chief Operating Officer approves marketing plans created by the Vice President of Business Development in cooperation with the Director of Marketing. These commission structures are approved by the CEO to meet the corporate image and needs. At the ground level, representatives and franchises adhere to corporate policy.

A tiny brookerage like Nesbitt Realty makes decisions at the street level, because the ground level is around 4 steps away from the highest levels of our tiny corporation.  As such, we have the power to create fees as the need arises.  We've investigated the commission fees and structures offered by the most famous names in real estate and we've realized that we can match, meet or beat any offer by any broker in Northern Virginia.  We've organized these plans into several programs that range from a 1% to 7% commission.  In addition we've removed an administrative fees that are charged over and above the commission so there are no surprises at closing!

It's a good idea for you interview us and compare our fees and choices to any competitor in Northern Virginia.  If you like what they are offering, but want to deal with a family-run small company: talk to us before you sign. It's very likely that we already have a similar sales option. (We can show you where the cheese is hiding in any plan, by the way.) In the unlikely event that we don't already offer a similar commission sales package, we have the flexibility to match or beat what you have in hand.
