29 YEARS OF SAVING GREATER MILWAUKEE SELLERS THOU$AND$ IN COMMISSIONS

A client recently commented of how impressed she was at the fact that we have been offering a reasonable alternative to the high 6% commission for such a length of time. Indeed, Homeowners Concept is celebrating its 29th year of operation in Metro-Milwaukee. Obviously, we are proud of our record, having sold tens of thousands of properties and saved well over $94 MM in commissions. That is $94 million dollars that Greater Milwaukee sellers are richer for not having to pay an average of 6% commission!

We have done this by providing more in marketing properties (covering ALL real estate websites, our own website with the most photos per home and our magazine, among others) and having highly skilled, full time, long term agents who are truly dedicated to real estate.

This is so different than the way traditional high commission real estate works. You see, the traditional 5, 6 or 7% commission office is like a revolving door. Agents enter and leave the business constantly (ever wonder why the larger offices have to continually hire and train new agents, even in down markets?). They count on each agent to at least attract a relative/friend or spend enough money of their own to attract a client outside their sphere of influence. It takes a lot of time and money for traditional agents to convince the consumer to pay the exorbitant commissions and to differentiate themselves from the competition. Sellers for the most part end up working with a mediocre agent and paying a hefty commission.

On the flip side, our agents are all full time, high volume with many years of experience before they even start at Homeowners Concept. We have become the company that not only saves the sellers thousands of dollars in commissions but provides exceptional real estate expertise. Our long term success speaks volumes.
