Do I have to commit to all units up front?
No. Master agreements are sized to your active project but allow phased commitment — you can start with the first three units and expand as your delivery schedule confirms. Per-unit pricing locks at the highest tier you commit to within the engagement window.
What about buyer-agent commission?
That's set separately per unit and negotiated on each offer. Common builder practice is to offer 2–3% to buyer agents to maintain showing volume, but you control that decision per project. Our flat fee covers our side only — there's no markup or pass-through on buyer-agent comp.
How does this work with FMLS-only access?
FMLS is the dominant MLS for north metro Atlanta — most active buyer agents in our service area use it as their primary system. FMLS feeds Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and the major aggregators, so your listings reach every active buyer. We don't list on Georgia MLS because our service area doesn't require it.
Can you handle out-of-perimeter projects?
We list in north metro Atlanta — cities within and around the perimeter, plus Forsyth and Paulding counties. Projects outside this footprint we'll honestly refer out. Inside it, we know the buyer-agent network, the school-district pricing dynamics, and the seasonal patterns that matter.
What's included vs. what costs extra?
Per-unit fee covers Tier-One service: FMLS entry, 30+ professional photos, expert pricing, full negotiation, showing coordination, and contract management. Enhanced marketing (40+ photos, 3D tour, virtual staging, paid digital) is +$2,500 per unit. Reserve-tier luxury treatment (twilight/aerial photography, Matterport, cinematic video, custom property site) is +$5,500 per unit on $800K+ homes.
What if Masson Homes can't sell a unit?
The non-refundable retainer covers our COGS regardless of outcome — typically about 25% of the per-unit fee. The remaining balance is due only at successful closing. If a unit doesn't close, you're not paying for delivery you didn't receive. We carry the full upside-and-downside risk on whether the listing actually sells.
