Fee For Service Program

Research shows us that these are the things that you want when you sell your home. For the past 15-20 years, home sellers have consistently paid 6% in real estate commissions not knowing that they have another option. About ten years ago, some home sellers started to try to sell their home on their own but realized after about a month that it was a big hassle, and for some reason, no one was making any offers. In regard to these two options, there are positive benefits of both. When you sell through a Realtor, they take care of all the details, all of the inspections, make sure all of the buyers are qualified, and try to ensure a smooth process to settlement. While this does happen, sellers normally are not that happy when they see how much the check is for the 6% coming directly out of their proceeds not knowing the details; the hours that had been spent marketing the home, what was done, and what was not done. It is all just a little to ambiguous. Don’t You Think It Is Fair To Know What Was Done For That 6%!! If you sell a $300,000 home through a Realtor you will pay $18,000 in commissions, while if you are only selling a $150,000 home, you will only pay $9,000 in commission for the same amount of work on behalf of the agent…does this make sense. If a seller figured this out, he or she would normally try to sell the home on their own, then get fed up after all the hassles, paperwork and endless unqualified buyers prancing through their home every night of the week. But every once in a while, a seller does get lucky, and saves the 6%…boy was that a happy home seller. So, as you look at your two options, they both have positives and negatives. They both can help achieve a result, but you have to pick one way or the other, and either way you pay a price, in time or money. But…What If You Could Combine The Two Into A Third, More Powerful, More Efficient Option That Not Only Made Sense, But Solved A Lot Of Problems As Well!!! Every agent, if asked will silently agree that the real estate industry is way overpaid for the actual services they provide. If you asked 10 of your friends how they enjoyed the process the last time they sold a house, only 3 or 4 of them will say that they were satisfied with the service. On top of that, if you asked them if they would use the same agent again, only 1 or 2 will say they would…why is that? Actually…The Reason Is A Very Simple One!! In the real estate business the old 80/20 rule is in affect, but it is exaggerated a little bit to the tune of 95/5. What this means is that about 5% of the agents do about 95% of the business. The 95% represents the part-timers, the stay at home moms who wanted a hobby, and the retired people who were told by their doctor to take it easy, and go sell real estate. This group of agents has no idea how to run a business, let alone meet and exceed the expectations of their clients. It Takes Just Three Weeks To Get A Real Estate License And Go Help Someone Buy Or Sell The Biggest Investment They Will Make In Their Lifetime!!! This is why most people do not enjoy buying or selling a home. If you get one of these agents, you will certainly be in for a long wild ride. So for years, real estate agents have listed homes in many different price ranges and whether the house was worth $300,000 or $100,000, they have done the same amount of work and the commissions paid were thousands of dollars different. So what is the solution??? Every client’s needs are different. But at RE/MAX Consultants we have developed a program that gives you, the home seller, the best of both worlds. You receive all of the benefits of having a Realtor guide you through the process and the exposure that comes with that, and the savings of selling your home on your own. This is what you might call a middle of the road compromise between the two options, but keeping all of the benefits and losing all of the detriments of each program. In a nutshell, the program gives you a menu of options. There is a fee associated with all the services that would normally be provided by a real estate professional. You can pick and choose from the menu what services you would like to use. Now you know where your money is spent and can have control over the costs. Another option is to hire us on an hourly basis. Or if you only want access to the multiple listing service, you can have that too. You are in control! It is difficult to know if this program is right for you. If you would like to know more about how this would affect your situation and how much money you could expect to save, please just give us a call at 215-576-8666. We will be glad to schedule a FREE, no obligation consultation that will outline not only your options, but also the tangible bottom line benefits you could expect to receive. Available to you is a menu of services where you can hire us for a service or by the hour for a fee. Please call our office at 215-576-8666 to set up a free consultation to review your options for selling your home outlined in our menu of services.
