Frequently Asked Questions
Isn't it better to use a big brand realtor?
Not necessarily. The majority of licensed REALTORS in the U.S. are actually affiliated with independent brokerages — not national franchises. What drives a successful sale isn't a brand name on a sign, it's local market knowledge, accurate pricing, professional marketing, and skilled negotiation. Big franchise brokerages charge premium commissions largely to cover franchise fees, corporate overhead, and national advertising that benefits the brand — not your sale. At Tenhave Realty, you work directly with an experienced, licensed broker who knows the Ferndale and Southeast Michigan market intimately. Same full service. No franchise markup.
How much does it cost to sell my home in Ferndale, MI? Traditional brokerages charge 5–6% in total commission. Tenhave Realty's low-commission model significantly reduces that cost. Contact us for a specific quote based on your home's value.
How long does it take to sell a home in Ferndale? It depends on pricing, condition, and current market inventory. Check our Ferndale market data above for current days-on-market trends — or call us for a personalized timeline.
Do I have to use a real estate agent to sell my home in Michigan? No, but FSBO sellers typically net less than agent-represented sellers after accounting for pricing, negotiation, and buyer agent commissions. We're happy to walk you through the numbers.
