Are you thinking about putting your property on the market in the near future? If you are I am guessing that you have a few questions that you would like answered before making any type of commitment to a real estate broker, or, putting up a 'For Sale' sign in the yard on your own.
This is a very important part of the process as many of you already realize. The decisions you make, or don't make, will play a role in whether or not you do recieve an offer to purchase on your home in a timely manner, and, the amount of your proceeds check from the title company if the transaction closes!
I have three fairly straightforward marketing plans available for you to choose from; Traditional Full Service, Discounted Full Service and the Limited Representation plan. These three options are shown in the basic format and we can discuss any changes that may need to be made in order for us to better accomplish your specific goals in marketing your home.

As you can clearly see the fee's and commission rates outlined above would not be fall into what the traditional real estate brokerages would describe to you as 'Normal'. Why do I do this? That is a straightforward question with an answer that is just as straightforward: I keep my overhead low by spending marketing dollars where they actually work and not overextending my operating budget on items that do not add value to my goal of getting your home sold as quickly as possible for as much as possible!
Please don't hesitate to contact me today and together we can put a plan in place that works for you and your goals!
