How Can I discount this low and provide full service?

I charge a flat fee of 495.00 upfront.  this pays me for the electronic lockbox, the sign, your consultation, the computer work, my time, gas, the real estate MLS  listing service, my valuable advertising and the powerful marketing of a full service real estate brokerage. Check // cash // credit cards Pay pal 15$ handling fee  

Why would I pay upfront? Our selling system is designed for clients ready to maximize their profit in the present. We only charge you the bare minimum nuts and bolts for achieving a successful sale of your home. If you do not plan on following through with selling your home then I would not want to waste time and gas running around to create the mirage. Brokers are able to list fair weather sellers for no upfront charges because they are charging 6% to 7%. Their upfront cost for homes that don't sell, are easily covered by the large paychecks of the homes that do sell. If you would not like to come up with the 495.00 upfront then we can service you through a 4% plan with 295.00 up front, or my 5% pampered plan with no money upfront. 495.00 is non refundable of course and is a small risk when dealing with 100,000.00+ .           Sound to good? Take a look at our results. We've sold 100s of homes in central Texas

At closing you pay: 3% to the buyer's agent, unless there is no buyer's agent.  My whole goal is to find you a qualified buyer and close on your home. I also give my clients the opportunity to give me five names of potential buyers that may put your home under contract. If a buyer from your list closes on your home then a real estate agent will not have earned their 3% and you save it. If you think that the 3% is the catch you are wrong! With today's mortgage market and economy, having a buyer's agent involved for legal representation, paperwork, and safety of mind is the only way to go. If you are not willing to pay a buyer's agent for bringing you a qualified and able buyer you should not list your property with a brokerage at all.  If I find the buyer, which I will be determined to do, then I have well earned the 3%. Can I offer less then 3% to a buyer's agent? No. Real estate agents are helping the majority of buyers in search of a property. The market commission split has and will be 3%. If you offer less I will not need to explain why your property seems to be skipped over. Real estate professionals deserve to make the 3 % when dealing with real estate transactions. Our transaction coordinator charges a 680.00 transaction coordination fee that is paid by you through closing. The transaction coordinator is a very important part to ensuring a successful  closing is performed on your real estate. She is glued to the important dates and deadlines on your real estate contract. Ensuring your stress free transaction and closing is well worth 680 compared to the thousands you will pay a 6% brokerage. For a list of her obligations and duties to your transaction click here.

I'm willing to only make 495 on this sale, for full service? Yes. If you are moving out of Texas, or a buyer from your list closes on the home, then just your referrals will be appreciated.  I will have sold your house for 495, happily saving you thousands. If you are moving into another Texas city within the year, Our company will be your buyer's agent and assist you in finding your next dream home. My clients have been happy with the money they saved, and let me earn a living by finding their next real estate. I have you sign a six month buyer's representation agreement on your next real estate transaction in Texas. My services are available in the Austin & surrounding areas. My Brokerage is present in most Texas cities and we will have an agent who is fully experienced in the area you are moving assist in making your next move informed and stress free.  

Why should I use you as my buyer's agent? If you trust us selling your house, finding a home is the fun part. We can assist you with foreclosures, short sales, new builds and resales. Oh and did I mention BUYER COMMISSION REBATES! If you're a happy hunter on your own, we will rebate up to half our commission to you. You can run the math on the sales price of your home, your savings could mean everything from a new kitchen appliance package to a completely remodeled kitchen. We will fill all the paperwork and make sure you are getting a great deal. If you would like us to show you homes and run you around to all sorts of areas we will have earned our 3% that the seller offers.  We are not greedy but we do need to make a modest living.

Example of your savings in the 495 plan:  Example: Netting 30,000 on a 250,000 house, after paying your normal 6% which is 15,000 and other seller closing costs.  Listing with me You would be making over 7,000 dollars more on top of that 30,000. For the same services, the title company can cut you a check for 30,000 or 37,000+. Which would you choose?

Example of savings using us as a buyer's agent: I already know I want to move to Hyde Park. In fact, I already have my eye on a couple places over there. I don't want to bother with someone every time to view homes and I know the seller already has a marketing agreement with an agent so there is a buyer's commission already assumed. When I use the 512 developing plan they will rebate half the commission back to me. The home I want is 425,000. There is a buyer agent commission offered at 3%, which means 12,750. That means after negotiations I will receive an additional 6,375 at closing by using the 512 developing plan?!     I can re landscape my entire property for that!

*The 495 plan does not apply for all listing services. Real estate listed over 300k is 695. A 680 Transaction coordinating fee is charged through closing. Commercial listings are negotiable.*

OPTION 2: The 5% pampered plan:

Why would I pick the 5% plan if your going to list my property for 495??

1. If you do not have the 495 up front.

2. If you feel that your real estate transaction will have more then your average situations.

3. If you would like to feel extra pampered.

4. If you would like a box with full color custom flyers in the yard.

5. If you think I deserve the 2% for selling your home.
