Does Aalto have real estate agents?

Aalto has performance based pricing - no fees until your home sells. When you sell with Aalto, the selling fee is 1% and you will never pay more than 3.5%. 

You are able to determine what buy-side commission you offer (normally 2.5%) to the buyer's agent.

If Aalto represents the buyer purchasing your home, you pay only 1% all-in.

Adding your home to Aalto is free and easy, with no contract required. To get started, click here to begin building your Home Profile. Once you’ve completed a few questions you’ll be able to explore the market for your home sale and contact buyers.‍
