Buy your next home with us, and we'll list your current home FOR FREE!

Moving to a new home should be an exciting milestone, but transaction fees can quickly make the whole process feel overwhelming—especially when you're looking at costs on both ends of your move.

We believe you should keep more of your hard-earned equity. When you partner with Mike & Dawn Bigelow as your buyer's broker for your next purchase—whether it's an existing home or new construction—we list and market your current home for a 0% listing commission.

Move Up Without Paying Double Commissions

Transitioning from one home to another shouldn’t drain your savings. We structure and coordinate a seamless transition on both transactions. Because our compensation is earned strictly on the purchase side when your new home closes, our listing broker fee on your existing property is $0.

Ideal for "For Sale By Owner" (FSBO) Sellers

Are you trying to sell on your own to save on commission fees? Selling For Sale By Owner (FSBO) might seem like the best way to protect your equity, but going it alone often comes with far more stress and workload than expected.

• The FSBO Challenge: Selling by owner avoids a listing fee, but leaves you handling all the marketing, paperwork, legal disclosures, showings, and negotiations alone.
• The List Free Solution: You don’t have to compromise. When you buy your replacement home through Mike & Dawn Bigelow, you pay 0% listing commission on your current home while getting the full power of professional brokerage representation.
• The Result: You get maximum exposure, professional negotiation, and total peace of mind without paying a listing broker fee.

You don't have to choose between saving money and having expert guidance. By partnering with us for your next purchase, you get full-service professional marketing and representation on your sale without sacrificing a dollar of your hard-earned equity.

Perfect for New Construction & Builder Purchases

Are you looking at brand-new homes or working with a builder's sales representative? Buying a new-construction home is an exciting way to get exactly what you've been dreaming of, but coordinating the timing alongside your current home sale can quickly become tricky.

• The Problem: You want to purchase a new-construction home, but you need to sell your current house first before you can qualify or close.
• The Solution: Bring Mike & Dawn Bigelow in as your buyer's broker when you register with the builder. When you close on your new construction purchase, we represent you on the buy side and list and sell your existing home for free.
• A Win-Win for Buyers & Builder Reps: You save substantial equity on your sale and move into the exact home you've always wanted, while the builder's sales representative secures a qualified buyer with a coordinated timeline.

You don't have to navigate builder negotiations or time constraints on your own. By having us represent you from your very first builder visit, you get expert representation to secure the home you truly want—all while completely eliminating the listing fee on the home you're leaving behind.

We’ve designed this process to be as simple, seamless, and stress-free as possible, ensuring both your sale and purchase move forward in perfect sync.

Frequently Asked Questions

Navigating a dual-transaction move naturally brings up a few questions about timing, terms, and logistics. Here are straightforward answers to the most common questions about how our zero-percent listing program keeps your transaction simple and secure.

What happens if my home sale closes before I buy my next home?

If your current listing closes first, a 3% commission is held at closing to secure brokerage compensation. To keep both transactions connected under the program, you must have an accepted, pending purchase contract on your replacement home within 30 days of the close of escrow on your listing. When your purchase closes:

• If the purchase price is higher than your sale: You simply pay the difference.
• If the purchase price is lower: The overage from the first closing is credited/refunded directly back to you.

Your net listing-side commission on the sale remains effectively $0.

What happens if I don't go under contract within 30 days?

If you do not have an accepted purchase contract on your replacement property within 30 days following the close of your listing, the transactions are no longer connected, and the commission paid on the sale stands as standard listing representation compensation.

I am selling For Sale By Owner (FSBO). How does this benefit me?

If your goal is to avoid listing fees, this program delivers that exact savings while giving you full MLS exposure, professional marketing, contract management, and negotiation support at zero listing commission.

How does this work with new home builders?

Register Mike & Dawn Bigelow as your buyer broker on your very first visit with the builder's sales representative. The builder covers our buyer broker compensation at closing, allowing us to list and sell your current house with zero listing commission.

Do I still offer buyer broker compensation on my sale?

Our listing commission is strictly 0%. Any cooperating buyer broker compensation or seller concessions on your home sale remain fully negotiable and at your discretion based on current market strategy.

• Program Terms: Real estate commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable. Offer valid for clients who enter into a buyer representation agreement and complete both transactions (sale and replacement purchase, resale or eligible new construction builder) through our brokerage. If the listing closes prior to the purchase, the replacement home must be under a fully executed, pending purchase contract within 30 days of the listing's close of escrow to remain eligible for fee reconciliation. On new construction homes, representation must be registered on the buyer's initial contact/visit per builder guidelines. Standard title, escrow, recording fees, transfer taxes, and any optional buyer broker compensation on the sale remain the responsibility of the seller. Not intended to solicit properties or buyers currently under exclusive agreement with another brokerage.
