Seasoned Buyers Teaching Home Sellers How To Net Top $$
There's no smoke and mirrors to our philosophy - it's VERY straightforward.
Traditionally, sellers consult a real estate agent, or broker, to come in and assess the market value of their property.
On the surface, this seems all well and good - but there's much more to it -
In most cases, the agent/broker who comes out, to your house, wants to list your house.
They'll provide you a free CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) and will recommend a sales price.
All good, so far.
Agents get paid, based on commissions, and that is a key element that divides our services from an agent/broker service.
They'll also market themselves to list/represent your house for a listing fee of 3% - 6% total, including another 3% for the SOC (Sales Office Commission) usually.
That's another key element that differentiates us from a traditional agent/broker.
Generally speaking, an agent/broker may be bias, as they want your listing and will compromise on price and terms, as the seller (you) dictates.
An example being the agent/broker recommends you list your house at 750K, based on the criteria in the CMA -
You "feel" that price is too low and state you won't list for anything less than 825K and the agent/broker agrees....and lists it at your price.
That could be damaging, because, should your house NOT sell, at that 825K, your house is becoming a part of the daily MLS inventory that is NOT selling and everyone who is in the market, for a house like yours, will watch any price reductions and act accordingly.
In all fairness, there are agents, out there, that will stick to their recommendations and not compromise, even if it means losing your listing.
Another key aspect is the listing contract, you'll sign, that ties you to that agent/broker - even if the house doesn't sell - for, up to, 6 months after your listing expires - and, possibly, even if you cancel your listing.
How can that effect you ?
Payable commissions.
A brokerage COULD come after you, for commissions, if your house were to sell within that period of time specified in the listing agreement.
Even if your listing expired months, weeks or days ago.
A brokerage could claim that the buyer was procured from their, original, listing AND they'd be entitled to that portion of commissions.
There are some compelling facts that make that FREE CMA, from an agent, a fair value - but keep in mind what's behind that and what the true cost MIGHT BE, should you opt to list with whatever agent comes to your door.
