NestApple Gives Your Home That 6% Treatment But Only Charges As Low As 1%
Become a Savvy Seller
The standard commission charged for selling is 6% of the purchase price, and savvy sellers can typically negotiate commissions to 5%. We represent the savviest of the savvy: those who understand there is a more innovative way to sell. Our 1% is based on how “sellable” your home is and how realistic you are about the sale price.Increase Your Buyers’ Pool
While we reduce our side of the commission, we always offer 2.5% or 3% to buy-side brokers to maximize your potential buyers’ pool. There are certain cost inefficiencies in the way other NYC brokerage firms operate. With our flexible structure and low overhead, we streamline the process, saving thousands of dollars on each deal.

NestApple plugs into the same listing distribution system as other brokers (the REBNY Listing Service or RLS), so your listing will be on all the big sites – Streeteasy, Zillow, Trulia, the New York Times, and more. The RLS also advertises the co-broke to buyers’ brokers so they can focus on getting their clients into the listing.

We give commission rebates to buyers and tenants to encourage greater competition through lower transaction costs.
