Not only was this a less expensive way to sell a home, but it was superior in every way to other homes we have sold. All of the same services were offered at a much lower cost. Very high-quality photographs, yard signs, MLS entries, Zillow, etc. Our realtor, Katherine Johnson, was a joy to work with. She was helpful and supportive in a very stressful time. In addition we we got more than our asking price. All in all a very satisfying experience.

I appreciate that this service is available and it was a good experience. I had some confusion about a few things and it would have helped to have had more info. There are a few steps that a non realtor would not know. So, doing it yourself has a bit of risk. That's when you want more support and increased services which are available. I am satisfied with how my situation worked out!

I had a great experience with Home Avenue! The people in the office were very helpful and responsive.What a great service and value they offer if you are selling your home by yourself! Getting on the MLS makes a huge difference to the number of showings you get! I bought their basic package plus the additional photo option. I only regret that I did not buy their closing package. I would also recommend getting their yard and open house signs which make the sale look very professional from the drive-buy perspective!

I have used Home Avenue to sell 2 houses, and between both of them I've saved tens of thousands of dollars in real estate commissions. I still pay the buyers agency of 2.5-3% to encourage realtors to bring their clients, but I have no problem showing my own home for open houses and such. Home Avenue is super helpful with filling out the forms, and there is always a realtor just a call away for any questions.Will I use them again? Absolutely!!! A big thank you to Madeline and John for making this a great experience.

My husband & I used Home Avenue FSBO to sell a condo we own. Everyone we dealt with was so professional & thorough. We liked the fact there is a flat fee for the different options they offer depending on your needs. We were able to show our Open House dates/times on the MLS listing & sold it quickly. My husband had a question & spoke with Norm Rogers, a consulting realtor who works with them. He was both helpful & knowledgeable & gave us some great tips This is the second time we have used Home Avenue & would highly recommend them.

Excellent experience! Initially, I was a bit unsure about not having an agent represent me, but professional HomeAvenue team promptly addressed all my questions and gave valuable recommendations. My home sold quickly with multiple offers well above the asking price. HomeAvenue supported me during the entire process. They truly exceeded my expectations and saved me thousands. Highly recommend their services!

I can’t believe everybody doesn’t use Home Avenue. This is the second time I’ve sold a home through them. This time I saved about $10,000. All you have to do is take some pictures fill in the blanks in Home Avenue gets it listed on MLS and that is how you get your buyer. Twice I used their 399.00 package, it worked for me.

I used Home Avenue to take advantage of their one flat low fee structure instead of a "traditional" Real Estate Agent for the first time and received absolutely outstanding Service from Katherine Johnson!! Katherine was fantastic to work with, always responsive and always available. Thanks again to Katherine and the entire Home Avenue Team!

There aren't enough stars here to recommend Greg! From the time he walked into my rental house and fixed a couple things himself with a door and window, he did a suburb job as my realtor. Not only did he save me thousands in commission, he also saved me thousands in correctly recommending what to repair and what to leave for the next owner to decorate. After only five days on the market, we got two full price cash offers, with the winning bid nearly $15,000 over the listed price, plus no final inspection! Thank you so much Greg!

Outstanding service!! We sold the house ourselves and saved on the sellers commission in doing so.Very well priced services for the high quality service delivered!We chose the $399 package for a three month listing, adding in pictures, showtime, and maximum photos to this basic package. The total came up to around $600.

My home went on the MLS on a Monday and had an offer for more than asking by Wednesday the same week. Greg did an excellent job and I highly recommend getting your home staged by his wife's company, Set To Show.

Thank You Home Avenue for all the assistance in selling 2 of our properties in the past 2 years. Selling real estate isn't easy but Home Avenue makes it easy to sell your property yourself. John was great to work with on both of our sales. He always picked up his phone to answer my questions and to bounce ideas off of. Thanks again and I highly recommend if your looking to sell your property yourself.

I have worked with Home Avenue several times and my experience with them has been outstanding. Most recently, I used their full service option to sell my house and then purchase a new condo. Greg was knowledgeable and exceptionally supportive in advising how to prepare my property for showing/sale and in setting a fair market price. His guidance was also invaluable as I looked at condos and learned how to discern the ins and outs of home ownership association rules. There were countless questions and blips along the way in both transactions and Greg was always available to help and find solutions. He is skilled, patient and enjoyable to work with. I highly recommend Home Avenue!

Home Avenue was the way to sell!! $$ Did I mention how much we saved $$ The paper work took some time but I enjoyed the researching and I also had my own good quality photos. The staff was excellent in helping with our questions. We had an open house the first weekend after we listed and found out many people wanted to buy without a realtor! They wanted all the facts about the house directly from the owners. We did spend a lot of time deciding on a list price and went with our 'gut feeling'... we did sell over the asking price!

I have now used Home Avenue to sell two of my homes. Both times things went very smoothly and in the hot markets, also very quickly. They will give all the support you need on their sliding scale or if you have done this a few times, they just give you gentle reminders of any steps needed to keep MLS up to date. I highly recommend them for those that are not afraid of the selling process.

This is a terrific opportunity to save on realtor's commissions. Especially for a pricier home, where the HomeAvenue flat fee for the full service beats even 1% commissions offered by very few others (i.e. Redfin, but only if you buy a house with them too). They are very experienced and knowledgeable pros that you can rely on for any questions or issues during this super important transaction. Highly recommend!

Home Avenue was so helpful in my entire home selling experience! They explained everything and took care of the stressful things that I did not want to deal with. Very experienced friendly staff and my facilitator was so helpful every step of the way. He was genuinely kind and cared. I have been recommending home avenue to many friends looking to sell their home.

If you want to save 1000's and in my case 10's of 1000's, this is the team I highly recommend. Always got back to me in a timely manner and in many cases I was actually able to get a live person immediately. After everything was in place and my house was listed on the MLS, I had a written offer from a representing buyers realtor in less than a week. I paid 3.25% commission but saved thousands by not paying 6% commission. If you are willing to listen , do what they say, there is a very high probability that not only will your home get sold in a timely manner but you'll save tons of hard earned monies. Enjoyed the journey. It was a fun experience!

Excellent. The value of using Home Avenue is incredible, saving me over $10k compared to traditional realtors. Let's face it, so much of home buying data, price history, comparables... it's all accessible by the average buyer or seller. Yes, I can do the work, and YES, I'll keep more cash in my pocket.

We used Home Avenue to sell our home as "For Sale By Owner"They provided an excellent service at a reasonable cost. I like the fact that their services costs are transparent and can be seen on their website. It was a wonderful experience working with the staff. They have a very professional approach and promptly got back to me for all my questions. I really appreciate their help during the process. They also helped with Earnest Money Deposit Escrow service, which also is a valuable service to FSBO clients. In short, I highly recommend Home Avenue's services.

After taking the advice of a friend, we decided to sell our house without a realtor. We were referred to HomeAvenue because it includes an MLS listing. The $995 fee included the listing, pictures, handouts, and a personalized write up on the property. I would STRONGLY recommend purchasing the realtor representation. It is an easy and affordable way for you to be represented during the selling process. It is a seller's market right now -- and your house is going to sell quickly. The first couple that walked through our house put in a full price offer. Having representation means a buyer's realtor is not going to take advantage of you for listing it yourself (which we experienced). We highly recommend Home Avenue -- it saved us thousands of dollars!!!

If you are not using companies like Home Avenue, you are throwing your long earned equity in your home away to someone that does not work too hard. Once your home is on MLS, the buyers will find it and they will ask their realtor to show it to them.. You should expect to pay a buyers fee of 2% but that is a far greater deal then 5-7%. Make sure your home is in good repair, clean and free of clutter and it will sell much faster. Home Avenue may charge fees to assist in paperwork but the goal is to get the buyer in the door and a sold sign in the yard.

Words are simply inadequate to express what a great experience I had working with Home Avenue and with Rebecca “Becca” McShane in particular.There is no hard sell to purchase additional services! I started with an MLS listing and that process was so helpful and Becca was so great — she held an open house for me, because I had already relocated out of state — that I purchased additional services at quite a fair price!Becca negotiated my sales price and attended the closing in my stead. Moreover, she was in touch with me as much as I needed and/or wanted and made me feel as if I was her only client. If you need or want to save money on selling your home, call Home Avenue and ask for Becca! She’s a talented Realtor and a beautiful person!! An A+ experience! ❤️🙏🏻👍🏻

We found the Home Avenue staff to be thorough, professional and responsive in supporting the home selling process. Their options for services were understood and costs clear. Our ability to access and use the Duluth Area multiple listing service (MLS) with Home Avenue acting as our broker was important to our sale. The MLS flat fee listing and other fees for an open house announcement were fair and again helpful to our successful outcome.Based on our experience, this option was critical to our success and we would recommend Home Avenue and its services if you want to sell your home by yourself with appropriate backup as needed at a fair cost.

Selling your house via Home Avenue is a very easy way to save thousands of dollars. You can have them handle most of the work or do more yourself and save even more. Based on my experience if I take into account how much I saved and the effort I put into doing the extra work I earned around $500/hour. Not too bad of a gig.

I found selling my own home with the help of using HomeAvenue to be easy! There were a few hiccups when it first posted on the MLS but Madeline corrected immediately; one of the realtor sites had posted without using my entire description and photos. Maddie had this corrected within a day! A former neighbor, who was trying to sell their home (and couldn’t) using a realtor, had an issue with that same site and it took their realtor months to get that site to correct the error....I sold my home within a few days and I would never use a realtor again after using this service. We saved over $20,000.00. A little work to fill out all the information on their site before it posts on the MLS; I did hire a photographer and would recommend that if your selling a property that is over $300,000.00. I purchased the basic package plus the scheduling add on (worth it but I didn’t know I would sell so quickly) and the sign arrived quickly-within a couple of days. I previously had hired a realtor; her commission would have been 6%. I fired her due to lack of communication and not doing her job but insisting she was. I found this experience less stressful without a realtor and you are in control. Closing was a breeze and went into closing alone, feeling very secure without representation; title companies keep you very informed regarding everything. Don’t let realtors scare you about legal ramifications, that can happen with a realtor too. If worried, hire a real-estate attorney (I didn’t because it was a cash transaction and very straight forward). I have some realtor friends who said I was just lucky- well so are they; it’s all about waiting for the right person to see your home (our buyers bought from out of state site unseen except for the pictures and their realtor doing a video walk through. Realtors do the exact same thing- get your photos and house information (spend some time on the description of your home) on the MLS and all the subsequent real estate sites. I did offer 2.7% for the buyers realtor’s commission as recommended (I went with the high end and probably didn’t need to).Other states and countries use flat fee services, very common but not so in MN. People have this impression that it is very difficult; I was in healthcare not real-estate and was totally amazed by how easy the process really is.Good job Madeline and and thank you!

This was the first time using this kind of setup. I have always used a realtor to sell my house. I must say I am very happy with this company and the selling of my house. The company was very helpful answering my questions on the selling paperwork. They are not always available or easy to get ahold of, but overall it all went well for me. I will probably never use a realtor to sell my house again. The savings of 4% of my sale price more then paid for any trouble I had to deal with when selling.

I’m wondering what happened that this service was so terrible for us and so great for others? Maybe it was the broker we were assigned- she is unresponsive, slow to make changes and she treats us like we are criminals anytime we ask anything. We put in a request to cancel our listing last week, as we now want to go through a realtor after not receiving any inquiries after listing with home avenue. Big surprise, no response yet. We’ve wasted time and money using this place...it’s my fault really, trying to save money.

Saved a ton on the broker fees with sale of my home using this service. They were great to work with and did all the paperwork for me. They did an evaluation to let me know the price to list at. Sold very fast and closed in less than a month. Highly highly recommend these guys over a traditional real estate agent.

Your house will sell for what it is worth, and not more (because it won't appraise for above value for lender) so don't believe lying realtors who will promise to get you more. (And I actually sold for much more than realtors told me they could get!) Sell yourself, use google, and spend your money on fresh paint and staging! Using Home Avenue was super easy, and I think I saved time dealing with them myself and not dealing with a middle man realtor.

Good way to sell a home on your own. Really wasn't all that difficult. Definitely not worth paying a realtor 3% when you can use this method for about 1/30th that cost.

I did FSBO with help from HOMEAVENUE and sold my house less than 2 months!Overall, I feel HA is very easy to use, very responsive service! I obtained free Home Showing Appointment Service which I believe was very helpful and simple to handle visiting appointments.Through HA, I got the big saving for me in the final deal and I highly recommend it if you believe you want to save huge agent fee and are able to stay on top of your communication!

I listed my home with Home Avenue with the minimum number of photos, no yard sign, and my own lock box - (minimal services). I had an offer in 3 days and we closed yesterday. My experience with Home Avenues could not have been better. All questions to office staff were answered in a timely manner. It was a good experience and I saved thousands. I think the house sold itself - it is a great house. Depending on how complicated the sale could be - I would use more services, but they can be added at any time. This worked well for me - thank you Home Avenue!

What an awful service, after making the choice to relocate to another state for a job offer than could not be refused we set to work on our home-selling options. We had only owned our restored victorian home in the irvine park neighborhood of St. Paul home only for two years, and we were looking a way to sell our house without handing over too much money out of pocket. We initially contacted home avenue several months before we were planning to list, this gave us time to get the home ready for showings, IE repainting a few rooms, and other minor little details. We met with Nancy Moe, and she toured the home and we explained what we wanted to list at (this number was not arbitrary, it was with the advice of 2 professional realtors, the one we used to purchase our home, and a neighbor, both having experience with the area and victorian homes) everything seemed fine and good, and she told us to get our photos done and call her when we got closer to listing. When we called her a few weeks from when we were planning to list (first red flag) she was difficult to get a hold of, dodging our calls. Then the day before we were to meet to do paperwork she emails my husband several "comps" from homes that were miles from us, NOT historically significant in any way, and nothing like our home. She suggested we consider a SHORT SALE!?!!? and told us that she didn't want to waste her time unless we would be ok with selling our home for 180k. (We had purchased our home 2 years prior for 303k) we tried getting a hold of home avenue to inquire about a different agent, and we were met with some pretty poor customer service from the owner, Greg who was downright rude. Needless to say we did NOT list with this company, instead we listed at the price we wanted to list at (325k) with a different flat fee realtor in the area... we had an offer the SAME day we listed the house, and it was a done deal within a few days. We sold for 320k... and actually walked away with a check, and didn't have to pay out.

Couldn't recommend this business more! For two properties, we took our own photos, wrote own sales copy, arranged showing times we were comfortable with, and set out a For Sale sign. Very efficient and cost-saving. Staff is remarkably responsive, mostly via email messages. No hard-sell to accept additional services but nice to know that other services are available (photography, legal, etc). Takes some time to understand the standard contract "legal-ese" if you are not familiar with it, but not a deal breaker.
