CONSULTING FOR SELLERS

Real estate consulting is refreshingly different from the traditional real estate brokerage way of doing business. The time has come for consumers to have more choices. With consulting, I help you choose the real estate services for YOUR particular needs, instead of the industry standard one-size-fits-all approach. Consulting puts you in control, giving you the freedom to choose the services YOU need and want. With consulting, I will help you choose the essential and most effective services that get your property SOLD, and help you avoid any unnecessary things that waste your money.

By utilizing the consulting model, you rid yourself of the "sell sell sell" hype of traditional real estate. Consulting appeals to those who would rather be "consulted with" than "sold to", and those who:

• want to maximize their equity

• appreciate complete transparency in the services they need, and how their representative is paid.

• want more control over the transaction

• wants an agent who isn't limited to commission compensation only

• want to save money, but safely

• just need a little professional help to sell privately

• want and need professional advice unrelated to buying or selling, such as whether to renovate and stay put, or buy something else...maybe a tax appeal or estate gifting.

CONSULTING FOR BUYERS

Consulting for buyers is everything you might expect from a real estate agent except the sales pressure. You will enjoy working in a professional manner with someone offering guidance, coaching, and good advice. You select the services most effective and efficient for your purpose. Buyers utilizing the consulting method of purchase are encouraged to consider all available properties, not just those listed in the MLS. The traditional commission model can motivate some agents to avoid unlisted (For Sale By Owner) sales and exclusive listings.

Most buyers don't realize that the co-broker commission, though paid by the seller, is nonetheless invisibly included in the purchase price of the property. Consulting clients can choose an arrangement that allows them to recover the portion of the co-op commission that exceeds the consulting fee.
