Equity Advisors is attentive to the bottom-line and saving money by operating a “lean” organization. The marble palace, super-expensive offices of our competition are replaced with simple, clean, group work spaces that cost a fraction of our competitor’s rents. Equity Advisors passes these and many other savings on to our clients in the form of reduced commissions. The Equity Advisors mantra is to provide first class service and save their clientele substantial sums of money along the way.
The 3.48% commission is applicable if Equity Advisors represents both the seller and the buyer. If Equity Advisors represents only the seller, we ask for a 3.99% commission with the buyer’s broker receiving 2.50% and Equity Advisors receiving 1.49% of said 3.99% commission. We feel our 3.48% to 3.99% sliding scale commission structure is very fair and will save you a substantial amount of money at the close of escrow. (The above is only a sample scenario and each transaction’s commission will vary. There is no set commission paid to the buyer’s or seller’s broker and each transaction is different and negotiable between all parties involved.) The amount or rate of commission is not fixed by law. They are set by each Broker individually and may be negotiable between Seller/Buyer and Broker.
Here’s an example of the amount of money Equity Advisors can save you when we list your home:
SELLING YOUR HOME
Ultimately homes sell based on three criteria; location, condition and price. When you list your home with Equity Advisors, we like to use a collaborative approach to the selling process.
First, we will make an appointment to tour your home with you. It is extremely important that we strive to make your home look the best we can before we show your property. This may mean a simple deep-cleaning or may involve cosmetic or other “fixes.” You’ve heard the expression that “you only get one chance to make a good first impression.” This applies to selling homes. Let’s sit down and discuss staging, landscaping, painting or any other options we can think of to make your home shine.
Maybe your home is perfect the way it is? Once all of us are confident your home will show well, we can begin the process of listing your home and providing you with a “worry-free” transaction.
