Why Pay a Commission?

Yes, we really think it is smart to attempt to sell your home on your own. We also agree it is a "pain in the neck" to have Realtors pester you for your listing.

However, we also know there is a high degree of sophistication in selling a home. There are various ways to market a property and using our experience, we can get your house sold and save you money at the same time.

Make sure you consider the following factors when making a decision to list through a broker:

Negotiations of sale price
Contract approval
Attorney review and acceptance
Coinciding closing dates
Home inspections
Termite and radon inspections
Bank appraisal
Contingency clauses
Mortgage application
Mortgage contingency date

These are just the tip of the iceberg. Here are some other important factors to consider:

Did you know that most sellers actually net more with a broker than they do selling on there own?
Buyers automatically deduct six percent off of your asking price, regardless of whether it is listed with a realtor
When you try to sell on your own, whenever you are not home, your house is "off the market".

The bottom line is this...we get you to the closing table.
