For Sellers:
Our variable commission plan has SAVED our clients thousands in commission dollars!
Whe you purchase your next home with us, we will reduce the commission by 1%, still providing you with full marketing and MLS exposure, and payout to other agents.. If we sell your home to one of our own buyers, without another agent from the MLS involved, the commission would be lower as well. The rate we charge for other situations is based on market conditons, and your home. Feel free to contact us for a private conversation reagrding our services and your property, and a FREE market Analysis of your home.
MORE IMPORTANT than commission is the Negotiating Skills the agent has that works for you! I have been able to SAVE my clients thousands more with my negotiating skills.
SELLERS BEWARE: If you list your home with the Wrong agent, YOUR Home could be "The BEST KEPT SECRET"... *
Top 10 things YOU Should know before hiring your next real estate professional:
#1 Nearly half the homes listed with an agent or agency end up not selling. After the initial listing period, those sellers relist their property with a better agency and agent! A team effort develops on marketing strategy, pricing, and terms. Resulting in the home being SOLD. Start off with the right team, so YOU Do Not LOSE Time and Money!
Last year in Dupage, Kane & NW Cook Counties there were over 15,000 properties listed with MLS offices that "expired" (DID NOT SELL) after their listing period without selling! Those sellers LOST an average 133 days... and how much money & aggravation...?
#2 Many Agents Take a Listing at any price in the hopes of a future price reduction, and additional buyer clients for them from YOUR sign. Are you willing to gamble with your property?
#3 LESS than 55% of the homes are SOLD as a direct result of the multiple listing service. That is why it is so important to hire an agent who will personally markeet your home to buyers and other agents!
#4 When you have a company with a proven history & track record market YOUR home, you will NET more as a result of the trust buyers and Realtors have with that company! When was the last time you bought a major purchase from a business with no reputation?
#5 Commissions are negotiable... but if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. In most areas 1/2 the commission is paid to the buyers agent / agency. The other half is for the listing agent /agency. That covers marketing, communications, overhead, taxes, and profit. If it is a reduced commmission what suffers?
Typically marketing, communications, and payout to buyers agent/agency. In those cases YOUR home becomes the "Best Kept Secret" and sits on the market with NO activity, becoming "stale bread". (No one buys stale bread at any cost)
If the agent cannot negotiate their commission, how will they negotiate YOUR sale price?
#6 Why pay a flat fee to a company up front when we are willing to do ALL the work, only to be paid at closing? Many sellers make the mistake of giving $1500-5000.00 UPFRONT to so called marketing companies in the hope of savings. The sad result is their home is over looked, and they then pay for full service!
#7 As a seller you should be more concerned about the NET you receive from the sale than the commission charged by the agent. If there are no commission dollars for marketing & communications, your home will have limited showings resulting it not selling or a LOW offer. The more your agent does to get the other agents or buyers interested in your home, results in more traffic, higher offers and the home being SOLD!
#8 An agent doesn't control the market. NEVER select an agent based on price. You select price by logic: Price should be based on recent sales, what is under contract, and how soon you need your money after a review of comparable market data of price vs. time.
#9 If all things are fairly equal wouldn't you really want 1st class vs. coach...? When you choose a company with a solid track record, years of local service you are assured of a smooth move. Other benefits include relocation, additional exposure on 1000's of web sites, and the peace of mind knowing your deal will close, and all monies are accounted for!
