Why Use Us to SellYour Home?
Selling a Home is Obviously SellingYour Biggest Investment. It takes more than a sign in the yard or a social media presence...it takes 'experience' in negotiating.
Our Sellers know that we are working for them! We don’t believe in putting a buyer into any home that they cannot afford or wasting marketing time for a Seller by listing a home too high or accepting the first offer without all of the information about the buyer at hand. We will give you an honest opinion based on our knowledge of the real estate industry (and the current market at hand) even if it is not what you want to hear.

Our marketing includes what other brokerages offer such as listing on the BLC and social media sites such asTrulia, Realtor.com, Zillow, Homesnap & more, professional pictures & marketing to other agents directly.YRLhas its own Indianapolis streaming channel and a monthly digital magazine. Our listings are promoted on all of the social media outlets and we use digital technology which allows us to always stay on top of every deal no matter where we are and all we need is an email address for each of our buyers or sellers and you can enjoy being out of town and sign any document right from their cell phone!
We have all the latest technology to sell your home with ease but we also have a brick and mortar location on Southport Rd where we meet our clients if they like knowing where their brokerage operates. We also have a convenience location in Irvington.
Our agents are all members of NAR, IAR and MIBOR and are active in their own communities.
What do I pay when selling my home withYRL?
Commission. Our listing agreement states our selling commission.This fee pays us to market and sell your home and also compensates the buyers’agent at closing.ALLcommissions are negotiable and will be discussed in our listing meeting. Our commission is usually 5%-6% depending on the circumstances of sale. “Buyers” usually do not pay any part of the real estate commission so when we quote you our percentage to sell that is the total commission for us and the buyers agent. We do not charge extra for a transaction fee as many brokerages have this added expense.
Title fees - as the seller you will be charged for what is referred to as the Owner’s Policy by the title company. The title policy covers the search and assures the buyer that he/she is purchasing your home free and clear of any encumbrances.
Deed - there are several types of deeds in Indiana but a Warranty Deed is the most common deed at the closing table. It is less than $100 and is prepared after the attorney for the title company has the title work which provides proper names and legal descriptions.
Pro-rated taxes - In Indiana the property taxes are paid one year in arrears and pro-rated to the date of closing. If you pay your taxes in your escrow account you will receive any left-over balance from your escrow company about three weeks after closing.
Mortgage payoff - your mortgage balance must be paid off at the time you close on your new home unless your lender qualifies you for two mortgages.
Closing costs for buyer, home warranty, inspections, daily possession fees after closing, and other negotiated items may be asked by the agent for the buyer when the purchase agreement is written.
