Discover the $73,000 reason to choose expert home-selling partners.

Thinking of selling your home on your own? You might want to reconsider. Here at Northfork Realty, we understand the hesitation—perhaps you've had a negative experience with a brokerage, or you're wary of brokerage commissions. Let us share why partnering with us at Northfork Realty could be the game-changer you didn't know you needed.


First off, it's about the experience and the system we have in place. Unlike traditional approaches, our model ensures that our brokers are never placed in a position to be rejected, keeping you, the client, at the forefront of every transaction. Our strategy? Attraction over pursuit. We provide valuable information, enabling you to make informed decisions without feeling pressured.


Now, let's talk numbers. Recent statistics from a December 2023 Orchard.com article revealed a compelling argument for using a brokerage. On average, homeowners selling independently netted $310,000, whereas those who partnered with real estate brokers garnered $405,000. That’s a staggering $73,000 net benefit, even after commission fees.

“Partnering with us at Northfork Realty could be the game-changer you didn't know you needed.”


Why such a significant difference? It all boils down to access and expertise. Northfork Realty connects you with over 30,000 real estate professionals in our area alone, opening your home to a vast network of potential buyers. Considering that 88% of buyers work with brokers, selling on your own significantly narrows your pool of prospective buyers. Moreover, we bring only qualified buyers to your doorstep, handling all inquiries, viewings, and negotiations on your behalf, ensuring your safety, and maximizing your sale price.


The verdict is clear. Partnering with Northfork Realty not only alleviates the stress of selling your home but also significantly increases your potential sale price.
