What you could save

Illustrative arithmetic only: on a $527,500 sale (the Census ACS 2020-2024 median value of owner-occupied homes in ZCTA 11704, an owner estimate rather than a sale price), the difference between a hypothetical adjustable 5% alternative fee and a 2% fee is $15,825. This is not a statement of a typical or required commission, and actual fees, services, costs, and proceeds vary.

Illustrative comparison only, not a quote from any brokerage, and not a guarantee of savings. Alternative seller-fee assumption: a traditional agent commission of 5% of the sale price. Commissions are negotiable and vary. Your actual savings depend on your sale price, the terms you negotiate, and any buyer-agent compensation you choose to offer. Rellia's 2% platform fee is paid only at closing: no sale, no fee. Other closing costs, such as transfer taxes, attorney fees and title charges, still apply. Rellia is not a real estate broker and does not give legal or tax advice.

How is selling with Rellia different from a traditional listing agent or FSBO?

Rellia is a home transaction platform, not a broker or agent.

How long does a Long Island home sale typically take?

There is no single timeline for a Long Island sale. The process can include an offer, attorney review, contract, contingencies, title and payoff work, and closing, so timing depends on the transaction rather than a guaranteed number of days. Review the usual sale process.
