What We Do

 

Sellers

• We take the inefficiencies out of the home sales process – Traditionally, the most inefficient activity in a real estate practice is the showing process.  It’s a time-consuming trial and error exercise.  We encourage buyers to view properties on the web and drive by before they come through your door.   
• We encourage you to show your own home and save the commission.
• We provide you with a kit and tips for hosting an open house.
• We’re not alone.  We give every REALTOR the ability to help sell your home.
• We guide you through the listing, offer, inspection, and closing process 
• We ensure that you are compliant with all laws and required documentation
• We reduce costs by working with you as a team.
• We take the mystery out of establishing sales price.
• Professional Appraiser – a great idea if you are unsure of where to price your property.
• Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) see recent sales and competing properties.
• We are far more than a Flat Fee Listing Service.  We are active agents with the experience and know-how to get your home sold.

Why We Do It

 

Sellers

• Our research indicates that houses sell themselves – most agents say price is the number one criteria for selling a home quickly.
• We believe that buyers prefer to view properties without a salesperson.
• We believe consumers should be able to choose the services they purchase. 
• The internet lets consumers search, shop, view photos and details, print maps, obtain satellite images,and review community and school profiles.
• We believe traditional practices of RE agency are inflexible, inefficient, and expensive.

How We Do It

 

Sellers

• We separate the component parts of real estate services.  You decide which services you need and pay only for those services.  Our fee structure is compatible with hourly rates for similar professional services.  Your plumber, accountant, or a good auto mechanic probably charge more per hour.   
• We reduce the time an agent typically spends traveling to show properties.  The two most time consuming and costly services performed by a real estate agent are showings and open houses.  We give the Seller the choice to show their home or we can do it for a fee as needed.
• SHOWING OPTIONS - Buyers call us - we contact you - you decide each time: 
  • Sellers may show their own homes and save.
  • Sellers can hold open houses.
  • We can show the home.
  • We can enlist a member of our REALTOR Network to show the home.
  • Cooperating agents can show your home to their clients (80-90% of sales occur here). 
• Technology:  
  • Sellers list properties on the same MLS that all REALTORS use to list and sell homes and find sales information and price data.
  • Showing scheduler/feedback (www.Homefeedback.com) system.
