If you are currently using a realtor - you can also list on HutHound. But - understand:
- The typical realtor uses an agreement that provides for compensation regardless of how your property sells.
- If you sell your property yourself - the typical realtor will still demand compensation.
- If you sell your property on HutHound (without the buyer using an agent) - the typical realtor will still demand compensation.
- Using HutHound is free (no fees collected from HutHound), but you are more than likely going to have to pay your current broker a commission if your property sells during the time of the active contract. You are probably asking yourself - How can this be? - HutHound has been established to give more options to the Sellers and Buyers and not be forced to pay the full commission when the Seller sells the property without a broker's extended involvement
- Using HutHound will not cost you any more money and give you another opportunity to reach other buyers.

Signs
1. Yard signs are extremely helpful. They will advertise your house to local people.
2. Yard signs are also used to help identify that the house is for sale. When a buyer is looking for a listing, the buyer will be drawn to your house because of the yard sign.
1. When a buyer is looking for a listing they have found on HutHound, a yard sign will draw them to the house, but a HutHound yard sign will let them know they have the correct house.
2. A HutHound yard sign will advertise your house like a real estate broker/agent’s sign would, but the HutHound yard sign will let buyers know that the sale price does not include the normal 6% realtor’s commission.
3. A HutHound yard sign also has an area the HutHound listing number can be posted on it so the buyer knows they are looking at the same house as on the HutHound website. This is also good in case a potential buyer is driving by your house and wanted more information. They could go and see your listing right on the HutHound website and see the all the details to your house without having to contact you directly.
1. Click on "resources" on the titlebar at the top of the page. Within the menu on the left side, there is a link to the yard signs page. Click on that link to view the options for yard signs that HutHound.com provides.
