Since you have found this
website, I assume you are like most people who use the web to
find information. And certainly this site brings you all the
info you could possible need in order to sell your home
yourself or through me.
With the important
information that you need so widely available, why do you need
an agent at all.
Let me start with a general
answer. Then end with a more specific answer.
An agent gives you:
-more time...someone
must manage the buyer calls, the broker calls, the negotiation
and closing.
-expertise-an agent
like myself with 16 years experience, has felt just about
every hiccup that can possibly occur with a real estate
transaction. I can often predict and prevent problems before
they occur. This ability only comes from my 16 years of
dedication and the school of hard knocks.
-NAR
says 90% of homes sell because of the MLS.
Specific Reasons to
use an agent:
Statistics show that open
houses and giant ads DO NOT significantly assist a home in
selling. I think that they are used by agents mostly to
justify high commissions.
So take away pricing then
what is left for an agent to give you?
The most important duties an
agent can bring to you is the Marketing of your home on the
MLS and the Negotiation and Close of your sale.
This assumes that you have a
handle on the price.
So flat fee services break
down the value of my services to its essence.
By visiting my menu
of services page you can see I have broken down my
services into a fee structure.
The bulk of this site is
based on my Flat fee $495 on the MLS program. But the Flat
Fee approach offers you much more.
For example, often
times my clients will want to show their home, but want
my help when it comes time to negotiate and close the escrow.
So I have created a menu
for you to pick and choose what best works for you.
You will find the flat fee
approach is a very fair way for you to save thousands of
dollars in every facet of your real estate experience.
The truth is that as long as your home is priced
correctly, the MLS is the most important tool that you have in marketing your home.
Hopefully I have demonstrated that the MLS will help you sell
your property more than anything else.
