Most Realtors Charge the Same- But Are We All the Same?

When you call me out to interview for the job of selling your house, I will offer CHOICES in what I call my FREE-FLEXIBLE commission plan. You are FREE to choose from my FLEXIBLE menu of services. My commissions range from a low of 2% for seller service, to a high of 6% for a truly amazing comprehensive plan that actually puts more money in your pocket. All I ask is that you REALLY think it through before you make the call. And then, after I explain the plans, you are the boss. You make the call!

What I won't do....I won't lowball you or inf late the value in order to get a listing. I won't promise to do something that simply won't work just to make the commission number low enough to win some kind of bidding war. The Realtor you choose can only advertise and market to the degree that the commission allows. And marketing and advertising help create value.

So, the MOST IMPORTANT question you need to answer is, Do you want to list the house, or actually SELL it?

Since I only get paid if I sell your house, then doesn't it make sense that I will do everything I can to get it sold? You see, in this market, there are a lot of things you have to do well to actually SELL a house - but there are very few you have to do to LIST a house. To list is easy. To sell takes MARKETING and ADVERTISING and TIME. Buyers need somebody to actually answer the phone, take their call, set appointments, and show the house nights, days, and weekends. They want a professional to help them with the decisions. To get the buyers to call, I ADVERTISE and MARKET and ADVERTISE SOME MORE. This costs real money, BUT IT WORKS. The more I advertise a house, the more buyers will come. The more buyers we have to choose from the more offers we might get. The more offers we get, the higher the eventual selling price. Does this make sense??

To make all this happen, I have to spend some money. In order for me to be willing to spend that money, I have to know I am going to get paid when your house sells. For these reasons, you can see that a discount Realtor cannot possibly create the circumstances of selling the house for top dollar and by taking a short listing they are only fool you into thinking their plan might work fast. Agents that take listings for less commission and overprice only take them with a 5 - 12 month period. Until they break you down by increasing the commission, lowering the price, for your home to eventually sell.

The other thing that happens with a discount agent is that the buyer agent fee (the part of the listing commission they share with the buyer agent) is also discounted. The other agent who brings a buyer will show better paying houses before they show the ones that don't pay much. Make sense? The more the house pays, the harder the buyer agent will work to keep a deal together if it tries to fall apart. If you want your house shown more often, then the buyer agent fee will net to be reasonable. If your house is not shown often then you cannot get top dollar.

Think about it this way... if a Realtor took 50 discounted listings a month, and sold only 5 he or she would make money. But what if you were one of the 45 that did not sell? Would you be happy?

Do yourself a favour - before making any decisions. Call and ask about my FREE-FLEXIBLE commission plan. I will give you choices. No games. It's all up to you. You can hire somebody to LIST your house, or hire somebody to SELL your house. Either way, I might be the best agent for you. There is only one way to find out.

The least you could do is give yourself a fighting chance and hear what I have to say!! Please call to schedule an interview. My programs are NOT like any other.' Not only do I have 18 years of Selling Negotiating experience, I also have the volume of past sales, over 2,000 (two thousand) of them! Would you let an inexperienced Realtor handle the biggest investment of your life so that they can practice and earn experience at your expense??

HIRE ANGIE TO SELL YOUR HOUSE, ANYBODY CAN LIST IT!!
