Q: If I am selling my home do I have to pay a buyers agent?
Yes, we significantly reduce our commission to save you thousands while the buyers agent commission is in addition. We have experimented with different buyers agent commission amounts and found that it will indeed change the number of showings and purchase offers you receive which ultimately impacts negotiations and your final sale price. The exact amount to offer a buyers agent differs based on price point with a typical range of 2.5% to 3% for homes under $1M and 2% to 2.5% for homes over $1M. We are happy to discuss your specific situation.
Q: How can you afford to charge such a low fee?
Truth be told, we do not need to make a $10,000 or $20,000 or $30,000 profit on each sale. Those are crazy numbers for a job that is mostly done from a comfortable chair in an air conditioned office – not nearly as time consuming as representing a buyer. Our hope was that by providing exceptional service for a low flat fee, we would earn your referrals to friends and family and that we could also represent you when you decide to buy a home. So, we decided it was time for everyone to get the friends and family discount!
Q: I am not ready to talk to someone yet, what are my best next steps?
The best next step is honestly to have a conversation with us. We are no pressure and have actually earned some of our most loyal clients from telling them that buying or selling did not seem like the best option for them once we understood their situation. As noted above, we are not going to make tens of thousands of dollars selling your home – it is in our best interest to be honest and provide information with no pressure so you feel comfortable using our services when the time is right and so you feel comfortable sending your friends and family our way too!

Q: Do you provide Cash Offers and the ability to stay in my house?
We do provide cash offers and in some cases the ability to stay in the house.
Q: Am I obligated to accept an offer for my home?
Nope! If you don't like the offers received, you can counter or reject them with no pressure or commitment to sell.
Q: Do you offer open houses?
Yes! We love open houses. They are great for exposure and help us generate new leads. Most agents neglect to mention that open houses benefit real estate agents, but we want to be honest and transparent.
Q: I still think there must be a catch or fine print I am missing?...
It’s simple. We provide full service for a low flat fee. No catch. No fine print. No long term commitment. Fire us any time and we will even give you all the professional photos we paid for. We just ask that you give us a chance, even if we are just providing a second opinion before you decide which Realtor to select.
