Myth #7:

Brokers who “discount” commissions can do an adequate job of selling your home.

Truth:

You get what you pay for!

Your home is in competition with all of the other homes on the market for the best and most qualified buyers. There are generally more homes on the market than there are buyers. That’s why such a high percentage of the homes that go on the market don’t sell. You need an aggressive, proactive real estate agent to get your home sold and for the highest net price to you.

Promotional costs such as photos, brochures, ads, MLS inserting fees, printing, direct mail, signage, etc., are vital to getting the results you want, but they are all expensive. Sandi & Team invests heavily into the marketing of your home. Will a discount broker offer a complete marketing campaign? Hardly! Most of these “discretionary” expenses are the first to be eliminated when the brokerage fee is negotiated downward, although most of the time without the knowledge of the seller. These “discretionary” investments are some of the most important for getting the desired results. Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish!

Also, does a discount broker have a staff to personally attend to your specific needs? Does he/she have a proven track record of success, or is he/she using the discounted commission to win your business? Does he/she have the expertise to guide you through problems that may develop during the closing process? We think not! And remember, you only pay a commission when your property sells successfully. You owe nothing if Sandi & Team does not get results (which is highly unlikely).

There are a lot of Myths going around about the selling of real estate, but the Truth is that Sandi & Team gets results. Put them to work for you.
