| DID YOU KNOW? That 90% of people looking for a new home these days, now start their search on-line. When you list your property with Discount Broker Realty, it will be advertised on over 100 different websites, including our local competitors websites, like Meybohm, Coldwell Banker, Prudential and ERA. Also all of the National websites including Realtor.com, Zillow.com, Trulia.com, Yahoo Real Estate, HotPads.com, Homefinder.com and Frontdoor.com. We just get you there for less! *** Here's a mathematical example. If you were to list and sell your home somewhere for 6%, usually 3% of that would be offered on the Aiken MLS to whoever brings the buyer. If your home sold for $150,000 at 6% that would be a total commission of $9,000, $4,500 to your listing agent and his company, and $4,500 to the buyers agent and his company. Doesn't that sound like a lot of money out of your pocket?? With Discount Broker Realty if you paid the $399.00 up front fee and sold your house on the Aiken MLS at the same sales price of $150,000 offering 2.5% commission to the buyers agent and his company, that's $3,750.00 plus the $399.00 you've already paid and an additional 1.25% $1,875 for our company to finish all of what is normally required of a full service real estate company like ourselves. A total of $3,750 + $399 + $1,875 = $6,024! a total savings of $2,976.00 that stays in your pocket at closing! BONUS! If we sell the listing ourselves and we don't need to share the commission with another company, we'll also reduce the buyer agent commission from 2.5% to 2.25%, saving you another $375.00 bringing the total savings to a whopping $3,351, that's a 37.25% savings for you the seller! The total real estate commission would be only 4.0%! Discount Broker Realty will list your property on the Aiken MLS, for one full year with up to 25 photo's. We will also create a whole page about your home on our own website www.599SOLD.com. We will advertise your property in the "Aiken Real Estate Book", which circulates over 20,000 copies across the County. We will also run a full quarter page ad in the "Aiken Standard Newspaper". We place a for sale sign in the yard, place an Aiken Lock box on the door, take all of the calls and arrange all of the showings. We also fully represent your interests, as your Seller agent through closing. Taking care of all the required paper work and guide you step by step, through the closing procedures. It's full service at a fraction of the price. There is nothing "Discounted" about our services except for the equity you save! Call 803-599-SOLD (7653) today. As an incentive to the other real estate companies, we always offer them the "lion's share", 2.5% - 3.0% (Seller determines this commission) of the sales price on the Aiken MLS, so they are also very motivated to show and sell your home. Discount Broker Realty simply reduces it's side of the commission, to 1.25 % (With the up front $399.00 flat rare listing fee) to get more listings and to help our seller's, price and sell their homes closer to actual market value, a price that more lenders and appraisers can qualify home buyers for, in these credit crunch times. *** It's called IDX or Broker reciprocity. Broker Reciprocity is a system where brokers, give each other permission to advertise their active listings on each other's websites. Clients who are selling their homes benefit by having their listings advertised on Local and National Real Estate companies websites at no additional cost, no matter where it's listed, (And what amount of commission you are paying!) In addition to offering site visitors access to all local listings, one main benefit of the reciprocal display policy is that it gives brokers more homes to sell and the ability to find new buyer clients, increasing their chances of receiving a commission for finding and servicing the buyer clients, that initially searched for a home on their website. |
