Platinum Service Pakage has arrived

As you may know already if you received my Christmas card I have changed Brokers. I am now residing at Realteam Real Estate Center. One of the reasons I choose Realteam was the flexibly on how I do my business. I had always thought that Brokers in general put too many restrictions on the Realtors hampering their ability to do business. That has always been the case up to now. With Realteam we are given the ability to run our business as we see fit. Just as long as we don't break any rules!

Since moving to Realteam I have started the transformation to doing business the way I feel it should be done. So effective immediately I have instituted the Platinum Service Package. Part of that package is what I call The Graduated Commission Structure.

With the price of homes increasing I decided to take an a new approach to commissions. Typically whatever commission is decided upon is generally split between the listing and the selling brokerages. If a listing agent were lucky enough to sell as well as list, he would get the entire commission (minus brokerage fees.) I feel that in this day and age Realtors need to work with the sellers not just take advantage of the situation. Because of that we have instituted a commission plan where in some cases would only charge as little as 2% on a sale. This structure is designed to work with the seller as a partner not just a potential sale. Although I cannot go into details in this publication we would be glad to discuss this in detail at your home.

In addition by having Emery Properties list your home you will actually have the benefit of having two licensed Realtors selling your home instead of just one. Under the Graduated Commission Structure this would be a financial benefit to you as well.

In addition I have put in place several additional marketing strategies that are outlined below:

Platinum Service Package features:
  • Website Exposure- Your home will be listed on four different websites!
  • Blog Exposure- Blogs are fast becoming the best way to get the message out. Our daily blogs will include all of our new listings.
  • Video Internet Advertising- Imagine the effect of having a Video of your home along with a personal description put out on the World Wide Web!
  • Advanced Internet Marketing - For a small up front fee we can even put your home on E-Bay. This one idea could sell your home in just a matter of days and if it does sell the fee is credited at closing.
  • Talking House- Statistically a home with a talking house will sell on average 40% faster! Our talking house is just part of our total service package.
  • 800 Number Lead Generator- We attach an 800 number to every listing. This number provides us with a name and phone number for everyone that calls and is placed on all of our advertising!
  • Virtual Tour of Your Home- With a click of a button prospective buyers can walk through your home or see the outside grounds. Up to 5 tours per listing, again at no additional cost to you.
  • Print Advertising- Fast becoming the least effective way to advertise, even so, we are able to maximize our results with our 800 number strategies.

All this is done for one reason we want to get your home sold for the highest price and in the shortest amount of time. In addition we will only charge you what is necessary to do business!

Please don't think of this as a discount brokerage, It is definitely not! Discount brokerages sacrifice service in exchange for the price paid for commission. If anything we are exactly the opposite. I would compare our program up against any listing program out there and I am confident we would rise high above the competition Give us a call at 877-819-5186 toll free or 208-704-4549 Local if you would like more information.-Steve
