So you’re thinking about selling your home, and now you’re shopping around. There are a number of reasons why you choose to hire a certain agent or service, other than your friend or family member. It typically comes down to:
1. Commission Structure/Cost
2. Knowledge & Experience
3. Marketing Content & Exposure
4. Overall Selling Process
We’re going to compare what you get with other selling services to what we provide. After that, we are confident you will make the best decision when it comes to selling your home.
For Sale by Owner (FSBO)
We applaud successful FSBOs because we constantly help owners sell all by themselves. We’ve learned the pain-points of owners so we can tailor our services to still save 3%-4% in commissions, while getting top market dollar.
1. Commission Structure/Cost
2%-3% (Buying Agent) of the sales price
We recommend offering a commission to Buying Agents as they will often bring the best buyer to the table, netting you more than you would without them.
2. Knowledge & Experience
You may have sold a home before or have done your research on what it takes to sell a home in this market. If not, check out our resources for free!
3. Marketing Content & Exposure
You are responsible for photos, videos, property descriptions, and more.
4. Overall Selling Process
When posting online, you are opening yourself up to solicitation.. especially from Realtors. Even after an accepted offer.. you still have some work to do.
Flat-Fee MLS Listing Service
You’re looking for the least expensive way to get your home on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). This database then gets you automatically shown on Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and more websites. This is great! But when selling a home for top dollar, you will need more than just the MLS.
1. Commission Structure/Cost
$299-$999 (Listing Fee)
+ 2%-3% (Buying Agent) of the sales price
2. Knowledge & Experience
You are the point of contact for buyers, buyers agents, inspectors, appraisers, title officers, and other parties to get your home to the finish line. When it comes to fielding offers and trying to get into “Bidding Wars”, having a professional with experience pays for itself.
3. Marketing Content & Exposure
You are responsible for taking photos, videos, property descriptions, and more. You do get exposure online when posted on the MLS.
4. Overall Selling Process
These discount selling services collect your fee up front, putting you out of mind if you need any support with your listing. There is a reason why these services don’t have high success rates.
Typical Realtors & Brokerages
Most people know or are related to a real estate agent, so they don’t question commissions or ask how exactly a home is sold. We’re hear to tell you you don’t need a big broker to sell your home ANS you should NEVER pay 6%-7% in commissions.
1. Commission Structure/Cost
6%-7% (Split between both agents) of the sales price
2. Knowledge & Experience
No real estate agent is created equal! There are many good ones and many bad ones.
3. Marketing Content & Exposure
Typically hire a photographer to shoot your home. If they know a home will sell quick, they’ll use their phones for photos. Take a look at the type of photos we see daily (below).
4. Overall Selling Process
You may get a great selling experience from start to close.. or you may not! But what are they charging you? What did they provide?
Actual Photos Used by Realtors
When Hiring Me
You will get the most bang for your buck.. 100% guaranteed. Here’s why more people are using my services instead of traditional 6-7% realtors.
1. Commission Structure/Cost
3%-4% of the sales price (split between both agents)
2. Knowledge & Experience
An agent who has sold over a thousand homes as well as a licensed appraiser who knows what your home is worth! I’m so confident, that I will sell your home in less than 30 days OR I’ll cut my (already low) commission in half.
3. Marketing Content & Exposure
I create your entire listing from scratch. I am the photographer who will shoot your home with HD photos, 3D Tours and floor-plans.
4. Overall Selling Process
You’ll want someone who is experienced in the selling process. From photoshoot to the closing table, I will be your main point of contact the entire way. Not an admin on my “team”, ME. There’s a reason I have all 5 star reviews on Google!
