Some homes need the services of a traditional company, and some don't. Some people need a real estate broker, and some don't. In 2006, more than 1 million homeowners in the U.S. sold their home without hiring a broker. This is an all time high. 1 in 5 and some experts believe 1 in 4. Clearly, selling it yourself has become a realistic alternative.
SELLER DIRECT 995 Home Marketing Plans aren't about how little or how much you pay to sell your home, it's about starting at the right place. Maybe your home doesn't need the private data exchange, elaborate schedule of services, network of contacts, or brand name image offered by traditional brokers, any more than every medical patient a doctor sees needs surgery.
On the contrary, doctors typically try more moderate (and less costly) alternatives first then, if that doesn't work, they can always turn to more drastic and certainly more expensive treatments.
And selling a home should be like that. What if your home only needs a prescription; why pay for surgery?
Until now, your home selling options have been pretty grim: Sell it yourself, which rarely works, or sell through a broker and pay many thousands of dollars.
Now, our SELLER DIRECT 995 Marketing Plans let you sell it yourself, but not by yourself. In fact, SELLER DIRECT 995 is your direct link to the formidable marketing clout and internet expertise of the worlds leading real estate advertising agency, Tomlin/Nicks/Wells & Townsend Advertising, Inc.
We created our SELLER DIRECT 995 Home Marketing Plans to provide homeowners a viable, low priced alternative to traditional real estate commissions, not to compete with traditional brokers, but as a better first step. And we think any objective, professional real estate agent would agree with us. In fact, the best ones generally do.
It surprises some people that we support using traditional brokers and paying their fees, if that is what they need to do. In fact, we sometimes refer our customers to selected brokers in the event a home is having difficulty selling even after using our SELLER DIRECT 995 Home Marketing Plan.
No one can guarantee your home will sell, or for what price. (But we do know the following statistics:)
- You
have a 13% chance of selling your home without any professional marketing
assistance.
- You have a 62% chance of selling your home using our SELLER DIRECT 995 Home Marketing Plan.
- You have a 64% chance of selling your home if you hire a broker and pay a traditional commission.
