Many real estate firms offer a one-size-fits-all service to their customers. It is a free marketplace, so that is their right. Some customers do need all those services provided to them, and those customers will normally pay a higher price for doing so. Our firm is different. Of course we do offer the full service package just like the other firms do, but we also offer a menu of services for you to choose from.
Many people just want the exposure from MLS, Realtor.com, and similar websites. We can provide that for a reasonable flat fee. In fact our flat fee MLS listing service has helped hundreds of Floridians save thousands upon thousands of dollars in commissions. We have been offering this service for nearly 10 years, and some of our customers have used our services dozens of times now.
Menu based services also known as ala carte services basically allows you to pick and choose the services you need and thus save hundreds or even thousands of dollars from the transaction. Here are some of the services that we can provide to you for a set fee:
Listing on MLS and Realtor.com
Electronic lockbox on your door (the type Realtors use)
360 Virtual tour - ordering and set up
Professional For Sale sign
Blank contract forms
Monthly market updates
Internet posting onto Craigslist, Postlets, Kijiji, Zillow, etc.
Contract preparation and review (in conjunction with your transaction)
Professional Broker's Price Opinion (BPO)
Contract negotiation and advice
Transaction management - from contract to closing
Buyer/Seller/Investor mentoring and counseling
Buyer pre-qualification and loan origination
Professional conference room usage
Notary services
And more - whatever help you need we can assist you with it
Companies like Home Depot and Lowes have been offering menu based services for years. They can provide you with the products and let you do it yourself; they can connect you with the labor part too; and they can even let you rent heavy duty tools and vehicles. Fast food restauraunts do the same - do you want a combo meal, or do you want just a burger and fries, or even do you want to switch out the fries for a baked potato.
The main point is that with us YOU GET A CHOICE. With most other companies, it is take it or leave it. To find out more about what we can do for you, please visit our website www.SDRhouses.com or follow this link to go directly to our Frequently Asked Questions and our menu of services.
