SELLER FAQS

FAQ

  • Why shouldn't I save the commission and sell the home myself?

    Buyers know you're not paying any commission, so they'll just knock 6% off the price, and then negotiate downwards from there.

  • Is selling my home privately an effective option?

    Only 2% of all for-sale-by-owner homes actually sell ... the other 98% are sold by real estate agents. Can you really afford to only give yourself a 2% chance of selling your home?

  • I have a friend/relative who is a Realtor. Why shouldn't I list my home with them?

    Selling your home is an important business transaction. Maximizing the amount of money you put in your pocket, in the shortest possible time, should be your main motivation

  • Why not list the home high... We need to leave room to negotiate with a buyer?

    Most people won't even bother looking at properties that are priced too high ... would you rather have a bidding war on your home ... or not have an opportunity to negotiate any offers at all?

  • What if another agent says they can get me more money for my home?

    There are plenty of agents that will list your property, overpriced. They assume they can take the listing now, and then shortly after, they start beating you up on the price until you reduce it to where it should have been in the first place. They're simply afraid to tell you the truth up front. 

  • Why don't you just bring me a buyer, and I will pay you 3%?

    Buyer's agents receive half of the commission that the seller pays the listing agent. Without a listing agreement in place, buyer's agents won't show their client your home, because there's no guarantee they'll get paid. By not listing your home, you are missing out on the 1000s of agents actively representing qualified buyers.

  • Will you be advertising my home?

    Yes, and so much more! I will market traditionally ... Holding open houses, sending out flyers or postcards which is passive marketing ... basically sitting around with fingers crossed hoping a buyer will randomly come along and buy your home. Proactive or Active marketing, on the other hand, is much more aggressive, and very predictable. I will use the power of the internet and social media to promote your listing. When you sign the listing agreement, we will begin aggressively marketing your home.
