Why this conversation is happening
Market figures are third-party analyses of Middle Tennessee market data, for general information only. They are not a prediction or guarantee of any individual result.
Williamson does not behave the same way at every price. Contract-to-close runs 32 days under $500K, 37 in the middle band and 61 above $1M. The timeline on the next screen follows the band for this price — until you type your own figure, after which yours stands.

What this does for you
You stay the listing agent.
Your listing agreement stays in force with an auction addendum. You keep the listing, your name stays on the sign, and you are paid full commission at closing — out of the buyer's premium rather than the seller's proceeds. A cooperating buyer's agent is paid from the premium too.
The split of the premium between auctioneer, listing agent and cooperating agent is set in the executed auction agreement and remains subject to your existing listing agreement and brokerage policy. The figures above are the two pools, not a promise of a share.
The part most sellers don't know
The seller pays no commission.
A 10% buyer's premium is added to the winning bid and paid by the buyer. That premium funds the auctioneer's fee, the listing agent's commission, and a cooperating buyer's agent. Nothing is deducted from the proceeds — the seller keeps 100% of the hammer price.
Which is why the comparison that matters is not the headline price. It is what actually lands in the pocket.

How it works
Sixty days, start to closing.
Thirty days of marketing to build a pool of qualified buyers, then thirty days to close. The date is known before anything begins.
Sixty days is the typical schedule, not a fixed term. Actual dates are agreed in writing before the campaign begins and are subject to auctioneer and venue availability, the marketing a particular property warrants, title and closing requirements, and applicable state law. Whatever the length, the date is set in advance and known to every bidder.
A buyer factors the premium into what they bid, so the hammer price is not the same number the property would fetch with no premium attached. That is exactly why this compares net proceeds, not headline price. The seller keeps 100% of the hammer, and the break-even above is usually far lower than an agent expects.
About the data
County figures are June 2026 market data, pulled 1 July 2026. Williamson County is banded on list price from RealTracs Market Trends, run under our own MLS credentials on 25 August 2026 — the under-$500K band rests on 21 closings and should be treated as indicative. The pricing model — median % of original ask by days on market — is a Greater Nashville regional figure from 3,337 closed sales across Davidson, Williamson, Sumner, Wilson and Robertson counties, April–July 2026, applied to every county until county-level curves are pulled. Estimates only.
Concession incidence is sourced — 75.5% of Nashville sellers gave a concession in the three months to May 2026, the highest of 28 major metros (Redfin). The concession amount is an adjustable assumption; no reliable median is published.
