Listing Pro for 1%
We provide an Innovative Premier Real Estate Brokerage for a low cost 1% Full Service Listing fee. Below are your approximate savings of 83% vs a 6% fee while receiving our Full Service and Expert Advice...
There are NO upfront fees or costs! You only pay after your sale closes escrow. All consumers receive our Full Service whether they decide to Opt-Out or Opt-In to the MLS as it is not mandatory to enter your home into the MLS in order to receive Full Service. We encourage expanding Consumer's Choice in the real estate services marketplace.
The fees/commissions described on this website may change from time to time without notice and are subject to minimum listing limitations. The Listing Broker's Minimum Listing Fee is $3,500. The Listing Broker's Minimum List Price is $350,000. The low cost discount full service listing offer does not include Short Sales as they are more complex and time consuming transactions. We specialize in Residential Home sales and do not offer Commercial Real Estate services.
It's easy to exclude your home from entry into the MLS by simply checking a box on the listing agreement and signing an MLS exclusion form. During our listing appointment we will provide you with a Disclosure Regarding Real Estate Agency Relationship then explain to you about all the advantages and benefits of Opting In to the MLS, then the final decision to Opt-Out is solely your's.
Our agents are free to negotiate/advertise whatever commission is acceptable between Seller and Agent. We support the Sherman Antitrust Act. We do not support any trade association, organization, corporation, real estate broker or real estate salesperson that attempts to Standardize or Fix Real Estate Commissions or Suppress Market Competition and any monopolization, attempted monopolization, or conspiracy or combination to monopolize. We believe that free and open markets are the foundation of a vibrant economy and aggressive competition among licensed real estate agents in an open marketplace gives consumers the benefits of lower prices, more choices (like Opting-In or Opting-Out of MLS), and greater innovation.
Below are your approximate savings of 45% if given a 1% Listing fee plus (if Seller agrees to pay the obligation of Buyer to compensate Buyer's Broker) as an example additional 2% to 2.25% fee (as the Seller you have the choice when an offer is received to negotiate the amount or not pay the obligation of Buyer to compensate Buyer's Broker). 3.25% figure below = 1% + 2.25%.
For 25+ Years, the Listing Broker has been specializing in saving each homeowner thousands of dollars in commissions while providing a Premier Low-Cost Full Service Real Estate brokerage giving Consumer's a real Choice to save money as there is no such thing as a Standard Real Estate Commission.
Based on a $500,000 sales price at a 6% listing fee Sellers pay $30,000 in commissions for a possible sale in 0 to 30 days via Sacramento Housing Statistics. Some Sellers know homes are selling fast and that is why they desire to use our 1% Full Service option.
There is no Standard Real Estate Commission Rate as the amount or rate of real estate commission is not fixed by law. Real estate companies are free to negotiate as HIGH a commission rate with a consumer which they feel they are worth such as 1%, 5%, 6%, 8%, 12%, etc., and the consumer is free to pay as LOW a commission as they desire as we encourage competition among real estate brokers.
Sellers can take the thousands of dollars in commission savings on their home and pay-off debt like car loans, put it towards their kids college tuition or increase the down payment on their next home purchase.
Our business model is simple, we have to do a great job and ensure our customers are 100% satisfied at close of escrow to earn the Seller's
referral business to their friends, co-workers and family members.
