Discount Commissions and Fee For Service
Good News! There really is no need to give up any of the hard earned equity in your house by paying real estate commissions of 6% or more. As of July 2007, you now have options in selling your home. Limited Service Agency was adopted in Virginia and with it comes your opportunity to save money.

Fee for service and a la carte menu pricing are just two of the benefits now available to you. Commission discounting has always been with us.

You Really Can Get What You Pay For!

As a full–time professional Realtor® and Principal Broker, I work hard to keep expenses low. I have not invested in expensive office overhead, franchise fees and flashy SUV’s. These expenses are just not necessary to selling your property.

The MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and Internet sites such as Realtor.com are the most powerful tools available to sellers. More than 60% of buyers are from out of the area and fully 70% of them began their home search on the Internet.

Fee For Service
You can list your property on the Multiple Listing Service for a pre-paid hourly administrative fee for up to 6 months. With this option, you would only pay a commission to the real estate broker that sells your property. For Sale By Owners get the maximum amount of MLS exposure necessary to sell their properties quickly.

I have enclosed a link (www.usdoj.gov) to the Department of Justice website for more information on Seller Discounts and Buyer Rebates.

Disclaimer: Real Estate commissions are always negotiable between Listing Broker and Seller.
