Can I hold an open house? Yes, as often as you wish! We will even provide the signs for you as well as the flyers. If a buyer, not working with an agent, comes through and wants to purchase your home you could say or do something that may not be in your best interest, so I advise you not to be at your own open house.
Can I have my sign as well as yours on the property? No. The only marketing right you give up when you list with us is your "for sale" sign. Having another sign posted could potentially interfere with agent showings so we only have one sign on the property.
Can I run an ad in the paper or list my house on the Internet? Yes. The only marketing right you give up when you list with us is the yard sign. If you find a Buyer who is not working with an agent, you have the option of calling and letting us know you've sold the property. We will then cancel the listing at no charge to you. Or, if you would like us to represent you in the sale, we will write the contract and handle all the various details to ensure a successful closing. You pay just 3%. This is the same service we provide when you are paying 6%. But in this example, we didn't find the buyer or show them the property.
Should I pick an area specialist to sell my home? There are agents who focus primarily in one geographic area or neighborhood. But buyers come from all over the valley and country, not just that small neighborhood. So an area specialist usually really means "listing agent" in the area. Years ago the real estate business was successfully composed of lots of small "boutique" offices-where companies did specialize in a certain area or part of town. But computers and cell phones have changed that aspect of the real estate business. Now, what's important in selecting an agent are experience, track record, and marketing skills.
Can I save more money if I buy and sell through you? Absolutely! If you are selling more than one house or plan to sell and buy another home (new or a resale) ask about the "Client Rewards Program."
