 Why
Calgary Discount
Realtors Can Be Very expensive Indeed.
Diane Kelly-TALKCalgary.com
Nothing seems to frustrate some home sellers
more than paying full real estate commission when their home sells
after only after a day or two on the market. If you're one of these
people, here's some information that should help you look at your
situation and the Calgary real estate market from the right perspective!
To begin with, remember that real estate
commissions are based on performance-not on an hourly rate-and that's
a bonus for you! If we don't get results, then it normally will cost
you nothing. How many other professions do you wish charged only on
satisfactory outcome? On the other hand, real estate sales people
often spend long hours-and incur expenses-preparing advertising,
holding open houses, showing your home to potential buyers, and
preparing presentations to market your home. You wouldn't want to pay
an hourly rate for all these services-especially if your home doesn't
sell. The upfront expenses, and the risk of not recovering them, are
all borne by real estate professionals such as myself.
With thousands of homes for sale in Calgary at
any one time, when your house sells quickly it's often an
indication of your salesperson's experience and expertise. In fact,
your quick sale may have occurred because we have already laid the
ground work by ongoing prospecting efforts to locate potential buyers
looking for homes in your area, and in your price range. And to expose
your home to buyers, your real estate salesperson will most likely
have used a variety of marketing resources to promote it quickly and
effectively. For example, the many innovative features on the award
winning TALKCalgary
website expose your listing to
thousands of potential buyers in the space of a few days. So remember,
just because your sale happened quickly doesn't mean there wasn't a
great deal of work that went behind it-before and after your listing
was signed!
Other quick sale advantages include far less
seller's anxiety and uncertainty! No open houses or inconvenient,
unexpected showings! If you're buying a new home, you're in a stronger
negotiation position. There's also no worry about carrying costs if
your home isn't sold by the time you're ready to close on your new
one. In short, the faster your home sells, the greater value you're
getting from the commissions you pay. So, just relax and enjoy the
experience!

what your home is worth!
