Landmark Fine Homes relies on the partnerships of realtors to help sell our homes. That is why we offer up to 3% commission on all sales and have put in place additional realtor programs to show our appreciation and benefit you.
All offers will be considered with buyers' agent compensation.
Many relocation companies charge realtors up to 40% of their initial commission, shying realtors away from these sales. Landmark Fine Homes will pay 1% of the home price back to the realtor/broker up to $3,000.
We understand building a home can take time. Landmark Fine Homes will pay half of the total commission at the time of groundbreaking and the remaining half at closing.
We would love to host your next office meeting at one of our model homes and cater breakfast or lunch for you and your team. Email us at kwilhelm@landmarkfinehomes.com to schedule!
