Capital Realty proudly provides the highest level of real estate service throughout the industry today. There are no hidden charges, no gimmicks. Capital Realty simply offers great service and thousands in savings to our customers. Capital Realty’s system, methods and services are constantly undergoing refinement and remain on the cutting edge while continuing to raise the bar for the rest of the industry. This is what we call the Capital difference.

  1. There is a 1% listing office fee for Capital Realty’s full service listing program. This means a 2% savingsfrom many typical listing charges of approximately 3%, but you won’t pay this fee until your house has closed.
  2. A 2.5% selling offi ce commission is offered to buyer’s agents who will be motivated to show and sell your home to their buyers.
