We are not changing
how homes are marketed or SOLD, We are changing how
much it costs to sell a house !
"We sell more because we care care more"!
1= What is
the difference between your marketing vs. other Flat Fee
Companies?
We offer "Full Service Listings",
Full service listings are the only listings that appear on your
Local IDX sites
and are easily available to view by local realtors and their
buyers 24x7. We are Full time and
Dedicated, No Gimmicks, Tricks, strings, catches or hidden fees.
Other flat fee brokers offer "limited Service listings"
Review listing types here,
those listings are extremely cheap and maintenance free for the
listing agent, We do offer them by special request
Selling my house by owner in Michigan $199. For sale by owner,
fsbo, Realtor.com MLS and More!.
We are not a Referral
Company, Here you will be dealing directly with the broker, No
Middle man / sales agent. Referral companies charge more
then refer you to us. We are local and have worked
numerous years in the S.E. MI area, we know it very well.
We are Licensed in Michigan and Specialize in the South-East Michigan
real estate market.
1 a= What is the
difference between your marketing vs. Commission based
Companies?
The
amount you Pay! Our Experience is among the
best in the business. Our Marketing, exactly the same if
not better than many that charge 6% or more! Our full
service listings are at the fore front and is not back shelved by a
limited service status.
1 b= Where will my home be marketed and
listed?
Your
home will be
marketed and listed as described on the listing menu page.
Contact us for more information pertaining to our expansive
marketing area. e-mail is preferred, we do customize listings
to best fit our clients needs and e-mail provides an excellent
source of written documentation with NO misunderstandings.
2= How can you do
this so cheap?
Deal Directly with the brokers and Save,
no middle man / sales agent and No Franchise
fees! Today's
Technology has effectively streamlined the marketing of
homes. Buyers agents way of business remains unchanged
along with their pay.
3= Do you
charge a start up fee?
Yes, for services
rendered (marketing). Our competitors charge
everything upfront then claim they have no closing fees, where
is their incentive to get your home sold? They have been paid in
full? Do you get paid in full and in advance from your
employer? Would
you even show up for work if you did? We prefer to get paid when our job is complete with a successful
closing.
3a=
Do you charge a closing assistance fee?
Selling by owner,
No.
These owners do not require further assistance from us, selling
by owners are responsible for everything noted in the following
paragraphs, no
further charges will apply.
Full service,
Yes.
Depending on your level of experience this is negotiable, Our
price is based on zero experience.
We will assist you through the entire transaction, Appointment

Presenting All Offers, Verify buyer approval,
Negotiation assistance, Mortgage rep. assistance, Inspection and
appraisal coordination, Conditions and contingencies removal

Pre Closing Review of All Documents, Attend Closing,
Ensure your Mortgage (s) along with any / all recorded Liens are
Paid Off and Properly Recorded,

Simply put; If there was no incentive to get to the
closing who and why would anyone continue to work, answer
phones, set appointments, push your home on the market, protect your interests, screen buyers,
verify approvals, order and review title work, release of all
escrows, ensure all liens are removed and properly recorded, etc. or even attempt to get
to the ultimate goal of a Sold Sign on
your home? Our program will not leave you out on your own, even
the most experienced seller requires professional Full Time assistance.
We sell more because we care more!
4= Are Other Realtors
upset with you or your company?
No, Buyer brokers are
protected they are not affected in any way, so why would they
be? We are Full Time, Full Service. We do not
require a buyers agent to do more work than normal. We are
"Respected" in our industry, The greatest compliment is when
other realtors send us their "Trusted" referrals. We know
most of the top sales agents and have closed deals with them,
they know and trust us.
5= Which Brokers have you
or your associates worked for in the past?
Rest assured our
experience and full time dedication will be here for you. We have
worked for Century 21®, Real Estate One®, Re/Max®, Home Quarters®,
Michigan Group®, etc.. Why
the change? The market is changing, we can either be
leaders of this change, or followers. We all are very
proud to be a part of those fine firms, but we felt it was time
for a change. When the market started to cool off a few
years back in late '01,, we all started seeing a change then,
the only thing that kept the market going were those interest
only / risky mortgages.
Office fees were and are still rising, while the agents pay is
declining and since the agent is in charge of and pays for the
marketing, that reduced the marketing to the home owner.
It made no sense to stay in that system, pay more and get paid
less.
6= What are your hours, What does your sign look like?
9 am to 8 pm, 7 days a week.
Closed on Holidays. Sign.
7= Will we
have to go to your office?
Never, We are Full Service
Everything is sent or brought to you. The closing is the only
time you will have to leave your former home and will be
at the
closest
Metropolitan Title
office to you. Usually within 10 minutes
of your home. We use Metropolitan Title due to the fact
they are #1 in Michigan with the largest amount of offices to
close the deal at, and are tops in Customer Satisfaction !
8= What is the
success rate?
Our agents are in the top 1% of all Michigan Realtors, 97%+
selling success!
9= How long is the
contract?
Varies, depends on which
marketing package you choose. Our Flat fee listing
contracts can be cancelled
anytime with proper notice "without penalty, catches or fees".
10= Are there any
type of hidden fees or catches?
No hidden fees, No catches!
We
fully disclose all fees and services, we do not appreciate
surprises nor do our clients. We Keep it Clean and Simple.
11= Are you Full
Time, Do you have a secondary career?
We are overtime, Real Estate is all we
do!
Other flat fee companies have a secondary career ( i.e.
Title Companies, Mortgage Companies, Out of State Referral
Companies, etc.) What would their specialization be?
This would be an Excellent Question for those
other Flat Fee Brokers. Disclosure of business relationships.
12= Can I have a For Sale
By Owner sign in my yard?
NO, If you choose to go
the "By
Owner" route /
Limited service listing, you will loose your placement on
IDX sites along with "Thousands" of local sites, NOT recommended
in this market.
13= Can I Hold my own Open
House?
Absolutely! Yes, State Laws and MLS Regulations
permit owners to hold their own home open while being listed
in the MLS with a State Licensed Real Estate Broker. We will even place
Internet ads online for you! Excellent avenue to receive
feedback directly from buyers.
14= How do
I know where to price my home?
We will
assist you with a market analysis (upon request). Some
owners contact at least three real estate agents for a free
market analysis, then decide in private (with no sales agent
breathing down their neck) on an appropriate list price.
Caution to the ones that tell you what you want to hear, which
will most likely be followed up with price reductions while leaving the owner with a 6% listing agreement.
Bottom line our prices cannot be beat and we know they cannot
compete with our massive amount of advertising.
Broker
price opinions (BPO) seem to be the best route for an
accurate and unbiased price opinion. Many banks and
relocation companies use these as they are less costly (avg.
$75.) then a fully executed appraisal (avg. $400). All
are opinions of value, however with 3 you will get a close estimate of your homes value.
Obtain 1 or 2 BPO's along with 1 or 2 free market analysis's, you
will then be in a great position for a timely and effective sale,
while saving at least 4 years of your home equity.
