With the average home selling for over two hundred thousand dollars is 5 to 6 percent commission still fair to sellers? People are selling their homes every 3 to 5 years. That’s a lot of equity. Some real estate firms boast of team selling and how they have a crew of subordinates at there disposal to sell your house. That is why they need to get six percent. The fact is that the seller, not a team of real estate people, can do more to sell there own house than anyone else. For some good tips on preparing your home for sale click here. Most sellers also understand and value Realtor® services. Realtors® know the ins and outs of home selling and how to prepare contracts. Realtors bring buyers. What most sellers don’t understand is high commissions. The internet is changing everything. Including real estate sales. 80% of buyers are looking ONLINE. Tech selling is quickly replacing team selling and in the process will save consumers money. We can do more for less. When you list with us you will be dealing directly with the Broker/Owner. I have closed hundreds of Capital District real estate transactions in the past five and a half years since I started selling real estate. You can email me or call me 518-265-0401 if you have any questions.

The most important aspect of your home sale is exposure and marketing. Real estate today IS e-commerce. We list your home on Realtor.com, the Capital District MLS the Times Union Homes and IDX links worldwide. The MLS is simply the most accurate, complete and up to date source for real estate and homes for sale anywhere. Realtor.com is the world’s busiest real estate website. IDX(internet data exchange) links are links that brokers put on there websites where site viewers can view other Realtor® listings. When we list a home it can be viewed by millions of viewers within hours(that is also why you want your home listed with photos and slide shows). When we list a home you instantly hire over 2000 Tech Valley Realtors® to sell your home. If it meets a pre-qualified buyer’s criteria it will be automatically emailed to them from there agent’s software. If it is priced right, chances are it will sell. Even in a softer market. It is important to be on the MLS AS SOON AS YOU DECIDE TO SELL, or your listing will become STALE by the time you do list. That could cost you later.

With 80% of buyers looking online first, and the fact that 85% of all homes sold are listed on the MLS, that’s the place to be. Online and in the MLS. When asked “what buyers are looking for most in real estate listings” the most common answer is photos. We list your home with six photos on your local MLS. We can create slide shows for your listings with 18 photos per slide show. With or without audio. Slide shows will be added to your listing as a virtual tour link. Slide shows can easily be emailed to buyers or used in ads. With our extended listings we create your listing’s own website. We optimize your site for target traffic and submit it to search engines. Your listing will be displayed on all of Real-e-SmartRealty.com’s websites also. You will be able to download disclosures and make printable flyers right from our website to place by for sale signs and at open houses. Now the most important and often overlooked aspect of marketing by owners. Realtor® marketing. Realtors® sell 85% of all homes. Realtors® get sellers more for there homes. That is a fact. Why not put this army of hungry sales people to work for you at half the average commission? You will not have to negotiate with other Realtors. We will do that for you. Our commissions are half of what other brokerages charge. Yet we pay above average commissions to buyer agents who bring buyers. We charge you less but pay hungry Realtors® more to sell your home. Bottom line: We pay buyer’s agents more to sell your house. All while leaving you the option to sell it yourself and pay no commission.

How do I sell my house myself? With our Exclusive Agency listings, as long as a buyer has not been shown the house by a Realtor® or the buyer is not represented by a Realtor®(usually this would mean the buyer has a signed agreement with a Realtor®) then you can sell it yourself and owe no commission. You do not have this option with Exclusive Right To Sell listings.

That is why this is the most cost effective way to sell your home in the Capital District. We do all of the work that a real estate team can, only better, and save you thousands. Click here to have your FSBO home listed on the Capital District MLS with 6 photos and Realtor.com within 24 hours.
