FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The standard pricing for Selling real estate is 6%, which the Listing broker splits with the Selling agent. This number can change slightly under personal circumstances such as trying to expedite a quicker sale, or if the Seller chooses to offer a bonus to the Selling agent. In Florida the Buyer is not responsible for paying a Realtor, unless a contract stating this has been agreed and signed.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before I begin working with new client, I prefer to personally meet with them. If this is not physically possible we can meet by phone and/or email. Together, we will discuss wants and needs. This conversation will include locations and other specific criteria for Buyers, as well as competitive pricing, features and marketing for Sellers. Within 72 hours of this meeting, I will submit to you a proposal for Sale, or a personalized search for Buyers. If you choose to accept this proposal, we will schedule a convenient time to begin marketing your home.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was licensed as a Real Estate salesperson in New York from 1985 to 1995, and in Florida since 2003. I have several years of on-the-job and diverse training as well as a full time management team and broker to assist with anything else that arises. I always go several credits above the state mandated amount of Continuing Education every two years.
