When you are represented by a
professional and knowledgeable Realtor, your selling/buying transaction
is fully handled. My clients are always given full attention, their
questions are always answered and I try to get them the most for their
property, if selling; and the most for their money if buying.
Discount agents/agencies:
Attracting clients by offering discounted commissions is simply a good
hint for you to look further into what type of services you will be getting.
It is literally impossible to give full attention to customers when you have
hundreds of listings at the same time. Discount agents/agencies have to squeeze in double & triple the number of
clients a standard commission agent has in order to make the same amount of
money. Thus, cutting down on the quality of service they provide and the
amount of time they devote to you and your property. 'For
sale by owner' agencies will make you believe you're saving on commissions,
the truth is your bottom line will be greater if you worked with a smart &
professional realtor. We know what we do, trust us. Your home will sell for
more when you are using a realtor. If you're selling it yourself, buyers tend
to offer less thinking that you're already saving on commissions.
I have added some very useful
information for buyers and sellers to read to better understand what's
involved in a real estate transaction.
