FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Although we don't have a set commission fee the standard commission fee is 6%. The commission is split 4 ways, between the Listing Office, Listing Agent, Selling Office and Selling Agent. It's important to know that all commissions are negotiable and differ depending on each persons circumstances. One word of advise though - discount brokers offer discount commissions and that equals discount services! If there is ever a time to believe in the the phase "you get what you pay for" it's with real estate. Your home is your single biggest investment in most cases, don't put your equity and livelihood into someone hands that won't even fight for their own livelihood. You want a reliable, honest, hardworking, ethical company with standards and Insurance to protect you and your interest. We carry $400 Million in Liability Insurance and 1 Million in E&O Insurance. Be sure to ask other brokers how much protection they have in place when interviewing realtors. Cheaper is not always better - especially when it comes to protecting your investment & family.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We typically do all our homework before we meet a client. We check the MLS for comparable listings, we check with the local tax assessor to verify the size of the home and verify all persons and clouds on title. Then we like to set up a time to meet the potential home seller and walk through the home. Once we have all the facts, we will present our customized personalized marketing plan, answer any questions the client may have and if all parties feel like we are a good fit for each other we will move towards listing the property.
