Did you know that most high commission companies charge an administrative fee of anywhere from $195 to as high as $600 at closing? THIS is above and beyond the 5% or 6% commission one pays with these companies. It is a travesty that so many sellers blindly pay these fees on top of an excessive commission. These sellers either do not know any better or they are in a frame of mind of paying over $12,500 for the average priced home that they figure what's a few hundred more.
Our administrative fee is only $95 AND you pay much less to sell and have a truly skilled Realtor on your side.
Bottom line: a few hundred dollars on top of the thousands ONE SAVES BY USING HOMEOWNERS CONCEPT adds up to a substantial amount of money, especially in this economy. And even if one wants to be a big spender with money why not take the savings and make a big donation to your favorite charity. YOU WILL feel good rather than spending it on unnecessary commissions.
Perhaps the better question is "Why Wouldn't You List With Us?" ...
In the world of real estate today, there's a lot of confusion about what you get for the money you pay in commission. So many things have changed that even Realtors find it hard to explain what differentiates them from anyone else.
And then there's confusion over what really matters in the sale of a home! Do the big firms have an advantage? What matters more - the agent or the firm? What services truly impact a sale? What's fluff in the Realtor sales pitch?
If you analyze the way buyers go about finding and writing an offer on a property in this internet connected era, you will come away with the following important items. Buyers care about how your home is priced for its location, features and condition. An agent and the respective company should assist the seller to optimize the way the property presents itself to the market, pricing it correctly, maximizing exposure and use his or her experience during negotiations once a buyer(s) wants to buy. In other words a seller should be employing a Realtor that has considerable expertise, offers to cover all bases to expose the home and have strong negotiation skills and attention to detail. To that end, one will be hard pressed to come up with a better package than what Homeowners Concept offers. The savings in commissions is really a bonus.
It's all in the data
You see the average agent at Homeowners Concept sells 3 to 4 times more homes per year than the high commission agent and has been in real estate for 17 years vs only 4.5. Add to this the extensive marketing we provide via our unique magazine and high trafficked website. The differences are SUBSTANTIAL and our services stand above of the higher priced solutions! High commission agents persuade sellers to pay unnecessary commissions when in fact, on average, they deliver less than us.
