Meet The Broker

Stephanie J. Smith
Principal Broker / Owner
of Select Premium Properties, Inc.

I have been in the real estate business since 1999 and truly enjoy what I do. I am a licensed principal broker in 6 states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

Home and Land / Lot Selling

I believe selling your home, lot, or land should not be limited to paying an agent a percentage of the sales price of your property to simply list it in the MLS. With the emergence of the Internet, the real estate industry has changed significantly, and sellers are now able to handle much of the sale of their homes and land themselves. However, the one thing they do not have access to is the MLS system, which is the best way to get the exposure you need to sell your property fast. Only a licensed real estate agent can list a property in the MLS system.

The role of the listing agent is simple: to help you find a buyer for your property. To do this, they usually list your property in the MLS and then most likely charge a percentage of the sale price as a fee. I believe that the whole system of percentage-based commissions should be changed. I do not think a listing agent does anything more or less for a property priced at $150,000 or one priced at $500,000. So why should the commission be greater for the more expensive property?

Homeowners should have an alternative to the standard commission-based selling of their home or land. This is why we, Select Premium Properties Inc., have the same flat rate for everyone. When you list your property with us, you can be assured of the highest quality listing, superb customer support, and full exposure to the Realtor community as well as your listing information displayed on Realtor.com and other real estate company websites. We give you a better way to sell your home and let you save your hard-earned money.

Home Renting

When it comes to renting your home, there is no better way than the MLS. Agents who view your MLS listing usually work with well-qualified tenants who are ready to rent your home. Listing your rental home in the MLS gives you access to agents with renters, and your home will also appear on hundreds of real estate sites for the most exposure of your property. Thus allowing you a wider range of potential tenants to choose from. We give you a better way to rent your home by using the MLS to find well-qualified, great tenants fast!
