6 MYTHS BUSTED

Don't fall for untruths some agents spread about Homeowners Concept. They have a much higher commission and administrative fees to protect.

1. “You have to pay money upfront “
    ABSOLUTELY NOT - There are no listing fees

2. “You don’t get the experience of a 6% agent”

    ACTUALLY, THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE - Instead of having armies of agents doing just        a few sales a year, we have fewer Realtors that sell a much higher volume than average (3 to 4 times higher). Also, Homeowners Concept’s Realtors have 19+ years in business vs only 6 for a typical agent.

3. “You won’t get as much exposure”

    NOT TRUE - Not only do we have our own magazine, our homes appear on the top two real estate websites: Zillow and Trulia (unlike some companies that hold back their listings from these sites).

4. “Other agents do not show their homes”

    WRONG - This a pure scare tactic. Nowadays, the buyers find the homes they like to look at, on the internet. They then either contact us directly or tell the agent they’re working with to set up appointments. Agents have very little control on which homes the buyers like to view. 

5. “You have to be available to show your home”

    NO - We have had a full service program where our agents show your house for over 10 years and because of the volume of sales we can charge much less than 6%.

6. “You won’t get good service if you don’t pay 6%"

    AGAIN, NOT TRUE - Not only have we been in business for 30 years now, we have maintained an A+ rating with the BBB for all those years (unparalled in the industry)!
