Why Smart Sellers Are Skipping 6% and Keeping Their Equity
Ohio Broker Direct has sold thousands of homes across the Great State of Ohio—without charging 6% commission.
We provide the tools, exposure, and support of a traditional brokerage—at a fraction of the cost.
Ohio’s housing market is shifting:
🔻 Columbus and Cincinnati are cooling
📈 Cleveland is surging
🌟 And sellers statewide are rethinking how they list—and how much they pay
🚨 The Problem: Traditional 6% Commission Costs You Equity
In today’s market, paying $30,000 to $90,000 just to sell your home doesn’t make sense.
According to the National Association of Realtors, the 6% commission model is still widely used—yet it’s fully negotiable and often unnecessary.
