Zack is a licensed Massachusetts broker (MA 9586658-RE-B) who handles the full listing: pricing, photography, MLS exposure, showings, negotiation and the path to closing. The listing fee is 1% of the sale price plus a $400 transaction fee. For a seller, that is the difference between paying a traditional listing commission and keeping more of the proceeds.
Zack works with sellers across Middlesex County, including Woburn and the communities around it. You can read what past clients say on the reviews page. Review the 1% plan in detail on the sell for 1% page.
According to Redfin's Woburn housing market page (data for July 2026):
Median sale price is up 4.1% year over year. Monthly medians can swing with a handful of sales, so treat them as a guide. Zack builds a list price from recent comparable Woburn closings, not from a number you hope to see.
For context, the U.S. Census Bureau reports a 55.7% owner-occupied housing rate and a median owner-occupied home value of $673,500 for Woburn in its 2020-2024 estimates. That is a survey-based figure across all owner-occupied homes, not a price for a specific house.
Woburn is made up of distinct sections. Areas buyers recognize include Downtown Woburn, North Woburn, Woburn Highlands, Walnut Hill, Montvale, and East Woburn. Woburn covers about 12.65 square miles, and buyers often shop by location, so Zack looks at comparable sales in your part of Woburn first, then widens the search.
Located at the intersection of I-93 and I-95 (Route 128). Anderson Regional Transportation Center (Amtrak, commuter rail) is located in town.

The 1% is the listing-side fee only. Compensation for a buyer's agent is separate and negotiable. The $400 transaction fee applies. Commissions and fees are negotiable and are not set by law.

Listing fee: With Zack, the listing fee is 1% plus a $400 transaction fee. On a $790,000 sale, that is $7,900 plus $400, or $8,300. The 1% is the listing-side fee only; compensation for a buyer's agent is separate and negotiable, and all fees are negotiable.
Deed excise tax: Massachusetts sellers pay a deed excise (transfer) tax of $4.56 for each $1,000 of the sale price, set by M.G.L. c. 64D, section 1. There is no separate city or town transfer tax, and the rate is the same in Woburn as elsewhere in Middlesex County.
The $790,000 figure is illustrative, not a prediction of your sale price. You also pay your attorney, any mortgage payoff, municipal charges and certificates, and you may negotiate repairs. Confirm current figures with your closing attorney before you sign.
Most sellers of 1 to 2 family homes need a certificate of compliance for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors from the local fire department before closing (M.G.L. c. 148, section 26F). If the home is not connected to public sewer, a Title 5 septic inspection is generally required within two years of the sale. For homes built before 1978, sellers must give buyers the federal lead paint disclosure and the Massachusetts lead notices. Massachusetts has no single statewide seller disclosure form, but a seller cannot conceal a known material defect. A typical sale starts with an offer to purchase and moves to a purchase and sale agreement signed through attorneys. Ask your closing attorney which rules apply to your sale.
