How I Will Save You Thousands Of Dollars When You Sell Real Estate
If you own real estate that you'd like to sell, it's safe to assume that you've been through the real estate purchasing process at least once. Chances are, that was before the revolution in real estate marketing that's currently taking place due to rapid advances in internet technology. Where a few years ago most buyers would most likely begin their search for real estate by scanning the classified ads in newspapers, driving around neighborhoods, or stopping in at a local real estate office, today, most buyers begin their search by using their own computer through one of the millions of real estate search portals on the Internet. In order to tap into this vast pool of Buyer's, it's essential that your property appear on ALL of the major real estate search portals. The MLS System, The Biggest Search Portal Of Them All
The MLS System (Multiple Listing Service) is a marketplace for real estate created by real estate brokers nearly 100 years ago, in order to make it possible for brokers to help Buyer's find and purchase real estate from Sellers. Today, even with all of the new property search portals, 85% of all Buyer's ultimately find the property they purchase through the MLS System. This means that if your property doesn't appear in the MLS System, there's only about a 15% chance of it selling, regardless of how many search portals it's listed on. But because the MLS System is facilitated and paid for by professional real estate, in order to have your property appear for sale on the MLS, you need to be represented by a real estate broker who is a member of your area's local MLS System. The $98.00 Real Estate Commission
In the recent past, this also meant agreeing to pay a percentage of up to 7% or more of the selling price of your property to your real estate broker at settlement. However, with today's rapidly changing technology, it's now possible to sell your property for a comparatively insignificant fee instead of paying thousands of dollars in traditional real estate commissions.
Why It's Imperative That Your Property Appears For Sale In The MLS System
In short, because that's where the Buyer's are! Year after year, surveys have shown that 99% of all real estate Buyer's at the very least talk to a REALTOR® or two before buying real estate. And 95% of all those Buyer's ultimately purchase real estate listed on the MLS through an agent. If your property doesn't appear on the MLS it's nearly a certainty that 95% of all the Buyer's in the market to purchase real estate at the time you're trying to sell, won't find it. So the question you need to ask yourself is: Do you want to market to the 95%? Or take a chance on the 5% of bargain hunters, tire kickers, and looky loos? Why $98.00 May Be All You Need To Spend On Marketing To Sell Your Real Estate
If you own a highly desirable property, getting it into the MLS System and syndicated to the other major real estate search portals may be all you need to do to find a Buyer for it quickly. However, even with today's technology, that scenario is statistically proven to only happen about 15% of the time. Therefore, it's highly likely that marketing your property may take more time and money than just listing it in the MLS System and syndicating it to realty search portals.

I've been practicing traditional commission based real estate brokerage for 26 years.

My NO RISK Guarantee
Any money spent with me previous to closing will be credited back to you at settlement. There's absolutely No Risk on your part throughout the entire selling process! The Future Of Real Estate Marketing Has Arrived
With today's technology, you can absolutely sell your real estate with professional assistance at low cost. Therefore, I suggest that before you contract with a REALTOR® for a full blown commission of 6-7% of the selling price, you should at least try my system first. If you're willing to do just a few simple tasks yourself, like (Gulp!) clean your house and stick a sign in your yard, your property can successfully be sold with minimal professional assistance. In the entire scheme of things, $98.00 is an insignificant amount of money to spend to "Test The Market" and see how much Buyer interest your property can generate on its own. Most family's spend more than $98.00 in one trip to the grocery store.
