One of the biggest hurdles a Sarasota or Bradenton homeseller must leap over, is the avenue they must take to get their home sold.. It is common knowledge that a Realtor can be very expensive (@ 6-7%), but is there value in their service, AND what is that value worth? Well, as you all know, I am the biggest cheerleader for the Flat Fee MLS Listing Service.. I know this service gives the homeowner maximum exposure on their home, and also allows them to engage in a relationship with a Licensed Realtor that can advise them through the process, WHILE saving them money at the closing table.. However, many Flat Fee companies are not congruent with my policy of holding the sellers hand throughout the selling process.. They accept the upfront fee for listing the seller on the MLS, then the Realtor walks away and like a bull in a China shop, goes aggressively after the next Flat Fee listing. This is not how Shirley International Realty Inc. operates.. We stick around.. We are always on call and feel its our fiduciary duty to assist the seller in everything from, making price adjustments to give the MLS listing a new facia, to having open-ended conversations by phone on what the market is doing.. We are well-rounded real estate consultants that do not bail on our Flat Fee Sellers.. Below is a NAR (National Association of Realtors) statistical analysis that shows, a little Realtor assistance is a good thing.. Ya just have to get that assistance from the right place (Shirley International Realty Inc. is the PERFECT place)..
