Have you heard this commercial?
It starts with two women talking to one another about one's new home,
- Female 1: "How can you afford this? You make the same salary as I do! You're only 30 years old!"
- Female 2: "I know! I called BNI for a list of foreclosed properties and now I have this 4 bedroom 2 bathroom home for less than $300 a month!"
- Female 1: "That's less than I pay in rent!"
- Female 2: "Call BNI - and you can find a house just like mine"
That's the general gist, not the exact verbiage. So, I called BNI (Bargain Network) to see what the deal was, more out of curiosity than anything else. They ask for my zip code, and then pull up a list of 9,000 properties for sale, in my area, which include foreclosures, for sale by owners, agent listings - pretty much the soup to nuts of everything for sale in my area. Ok, so basically, the current Multiple Listing Service plus for sale by owner. Something I can access for FREE, as well as my customers.
The cost? For the first 30 days, I only pay for the shipping and handling which is $1.95. Every week thereafter, if I do not cancel, I'm charged $9.95 a week.
Ok, so let's do the math: $9.95 a week x 4 weeks =$39.80 a month.
Save yourself the money, and work with a Realtor - Realtors are experts in the neighborhoods you are interested in, and can help you make a solid investment. As a buyer, you do not pay for a Realtor to work with you, other than a mutual commitment. Realtors are paid by the property sellers in our area of Northeast Florida.
Realtors experience and guidance = PRICELESS
