Why You Should List Your Home With Me?

By listing with me, you will get the full benefits of the comprehensive Elite Realty Services marketing and promotion strategies, including advertising everyday on my web site.  You are entitle to terminate the exclusive listing agreement on your property.

My Highly Effective 30-Day Marketing Plan To Sell Your Home Quickly

My Objectives Are To:

  • Get your property fully exposed to the market as quickly as possible.

  • Help you net the most possible money.

  • Make every qualified buyer in your area aware of your property.

  • Maintain good communication with you.

  • Make helpful suggestions that will get your property sold quickly.

  • Present all offers and help you obtain the best price.

  • Keep you advised on the progress of the closing.

  • Deliver your check to you upon close.

I'd like to share with you the details of my 30-day marketing plan at the in-home listing presentation to demonstrate how I can employ the latest selling techniques (e.g. a dedicated home showcase website: YourHomeAddress.com; free home staging consulting service... etc.) to sell you home quickly & for top dollars. Please schedule an appointment at your convenience. It's free and no obligation.

What Is Your Commission Rate (Limited Service or Full Service)?

Currently, there are basically two types of real estate service models: limited-service brokers with reduced fees and full-service brokers charging full commission, usually 6%. Elite Realty Services is a full service company. My commission is negotiable, and you will always get my full attention to your needs.

Here is the definition of "Limited": (1) confined or restricted within certain limits; (2) not attaining the highest goals or achievement; (3) having only mediocre talent or range of ability.

Here is an excerpt from an article by Bernice Ross - Inman News Columnist, you may find useful in deciding which service best meets your needs:

"...Casting Seeds of Doubt about Full-Service Brokerage

Aggressive advertising by limited-service brokers has cast a seed of doubt as to the actual value of full service. "Why spend more when we can put your property in the MLS and in the paper? We can sell your house and save you thousands!" This approach has caused the buying public to conclude that agents are compensated primarily for marketing the property. Experienced agents know this simply is not true. Top performers who earn full commissions always say the same thing: "Anybody can sell a property. It's getting it to close that's the issue."

Furthermore, there's an assumption that all brokers are created equal with respect to negotiation ability. The firm that offers reduced services for a reduced fee would like the public to believe they will have the same outcome as a full-service broker. Tim Burrell, a highly successful agent who closed more than 200 transactions in Southern California and North Carolina, shared some interesting statistics in this regard. Tim went to the MLS and found almost all of the expired listings were listed with limited-service brokers. Tim also tracks what percentage of the sales price his properties sell for as compared to those properties listed with other agents. Tim found that while the discounter might sell for 98 percent to 102 percent of list price in Southern California, he was selling his listings at 110 percent to 115 percent of list price. I have heard the same story from top performers all over the country. When they investigate the expired and the sales prices for limited-service brokerage sales, limited service almost always results in the seller netting less money... If discounting commissions is such a good idea, why do discounters/limited-service brokers offer their clients a full-commission option?"

- Bernice Ross, co-owner of Realestatecoach.com.

So, which would you prefer – full-service brokerage that will help you obtain the highest possible price in the shortest time or 'limited' services, which by definition means 'mediocre' and 'not attaining the highest goals or achievement'? The choice is yours; who would you like to handle your most valuable financial asset?

Are You tempted by those agents who claim to offer  full Service with very low commissions?:

Words of Wisdom Long Time Ago Still Hold True Today

Prices Poem

John Ruskin (1819-1900)

”It's unwise to pay too much. But it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money, that is all. When you pay too little you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.
The common law of business balances prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. It can't be done.
If you deal with the lowest bidder it is well to add something for the risk you run.
And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better.
There is hardly anything in the world that someone can't make a little worse and sell a little cheaper - and people who consider price alone are this man's lawful prey.”

John Ruskin’s words still hold true in many situations today. For examples, bidding for the lowest price possible to have your roof fixed, but you might end up paying more in the end, because the person offered the lowest price might not get the job done right the first time. Or the agent who says he can sell your home for a very low commission might not provide the services necessary to sell your house quickly at a better price.

For FSBOs (For Sale By Owners) - Why should I pay an agent when I can sell the house myself and save the commissions?

But who really saves when an owner sells without an agent? The Buyer. Buyers who approach owners selling their own homes will usually want to reduce any offer they might make by at least the amount of the commission, even though the price might have been set to reflect all or part of this savings.

The "For Sale by Owner" sign usually attracts bargain hunters, Lookie Lous and unqualified buyers.

Owners who understand the benefits of professional representation are less likely to resist paying a reasonable fee for services offered by agents. Here are the important benefits you get for your fee:

  • Help and advice on making your home more saleable
  • Promotion and advertising (paid by the agent)
  • Multiple-listing benefits for more exposure
  • Qualifying of all prospects
  • Freedom to enjoy your time
  • Advice on offers and counteroffers
  • Problem solving during escrow
  • Compliance with the laws & regulations - Lawsuits are seller's worst nightmare

  • I can help you to determine the market value of your home (C.M.A.) - Free
