How We Save Texas Home Sellers Thousands

People often ask me what my team and I do differently than other Realtors. There are two major things we do differently, and both of them go a long way in saving our clients thousands.

People often ask me what we do differently for home sellers that other Realtors don't do.

Before I get to that, let me just say that I personally have more than 19 years of experience and I've done more than 700 transactions, so I have a lot of experience with both buyers and sellers. This helps you when we get a deal and we're working on a tough issue. You can even see what my clients have to say about me on my review site.

So what do we do differently? There are two things. First, we provide a full-service MLS listing at a discounted price to save our sellers money. We help our clients save anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000, and even more in some cases. We offer everything that other Realtors do, we just don't charge that high 6% fee.

We also pay other Realtors the 3% that they're used to getting, but we take a discount on our side, which helps our sellers save several thousand dollars.

The other program we offer that no one else offers is called an Open House Advantage. What this means is that if a seller wants to do their own open house or they want to look for a buyer themselves and a buyer comes to them, we'll still represent that seller. We walk you all the way through the contract, we do the negotiations, and we write the contract. We help the buyer, but we don't represent them; we represent you, the seller. We're still working for you.

In that case, you only pay our commission, and not the other 3% buyer commission. This helps you save quite a bit of money; I once helped a buyer save $20,000 this way.

So when you ask what we do differently, it basically boils down to saving sellers money. If you have any more questions about how we save our clients money or you have any questions at all about Texas real estate, give me a call or send me an email. I'd love to hear from you.

What Should You Look for in a Real Estate Agent?

Everyone knows that there is an abundance of Realtors in every city. Picking the right one can be difficult if you’re unsure about what to look for. So how do you distinguish a good Realtor from all of the others out there?

Look for certain unique incentives. For example, we provide cash rebates to buyers when they agree to work with us. We’ll give back anywhere from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, good on anyone’s listing as long as the seller pays our 3.5% fee. This is something that most other Realtors will not do.

If you’re a seller, find an agent that will provide you with a full-service MLS listing. This will ensure that your listing goes on all websites, including Realtor.com, Zillow, and Trulia. While most Realtors will charge a 6% fee for this, we do it free of charge.

If you need any help finding the Realtor that’s right for you, please feel free to reach out to me by giving me a call or sending me an email. I’d love to help you in any way I can!
