01 — About

A brokerage
built on patience.

Anne Sostman founded The Brokery after a decade inside Phoenix's largest brokerages. The premise was simple: treat each listing as if it were our own, and refuse the volume-driven model that leaves sellers under-advised and over-promised.

We work with fewer clients, on purpose — so every home gets the attention it deserves.

The Brokery is a small studio by design. We cap our active listings at twelve so that pricing strategy, marketing, and negotiation never get diluted. The result is a 98.4% list-to-sale ratio and an average of eighteen days on market — roughly half the Phoenix metro median.

Our advisory covers the neighborhoods where we actually live and work: Arcadia, Arcadia Lite, Biltmore, Paradise Valley, North Central, and the historic districts between 7th Avenue and 7th Street. We know which lots flood in monsoon season, which streets carry the best evening light, and which builders cut corners in 2006.

"A house is the largest financial decision most people will make. Our job is to make that decision feel less like a gamble and more like a plan."

— Anne Sostman, Broker & Founder

03 — Process

How a listing
actually unfolds.

No two sales are identical, but the rhythm is consistent. Here is the four-phase arc most of our listings follow, from first conversation to keys handed over.

Phase 01

Discovery & Valuation

We walk the property, review recent comparables within a half-mile radius, and deliver a written pricing study within five business days. No cost, no obligation.

Week 1 — 5 to 7 days

Phase 02

Preparation & Staging

We coordinate minor repairs, professional photography, drone footage, and optional furniture staging. The goal: a listing that photographs better than the neighbor's.

Week 2 — 7 to 10 days

Phase 03

Launch & Marketing

MLS syndication, targeted social campaigns within a 15-mile radius, broker preview events, and a private client list of 400+ qualified buyers we've built over eleven years.

Week 3 — 14 days active

Phase 04

Negotiation & Close

We review every offer in writing, counter strategically, and shepherd inspection periods and appraisal contingencies through to a clean close at a local title company.

Weeks 4–6 — 18 to 30 days

04 — Commission

Honest
about the math.

We publish our commission structure because we believe transparency is the baseline of a fiduciary relationship. The numbers below are standard; we will discuss adjustments for bundled or repeat engagements.

Standard Listing Fee

2.5%

Of final sale price, paid at close of escrow. Includes full marketing package, photography, and negotiation.

Buyer Representation

Buyer-side commission is paid by the seller in Arizona. You pay nothing out of pocket.

Valuation Report

$450

Flat-fee certified market analysis. Credited toward commission if you list with us within 90 days.

Leasing Fee

1mo

One month's rent, standard for long-term leases. Seasonal leases negotiated separately.

No upfront costs

Sellers pay nothing until the home closes. Marketing, photography, and staging are advanced by The Brokery.

Bundled discount

List with us and engage our advisory for your next purchase — we reduce the listing fee to 2.0% on the sale.

Cancel anytime

Our listing agreement is exclusive for 180 days but cancellable with 14 days' notice. No exit fees, ever.
