Q:
What Makes The Affordable
Listing™ System So Great for
Home Seller's?
You benefit by having the
ability to contribute your
efforts in selling your
home, and get
compensated
for your efforts. You can
run ads and hold open houses
if you wish.
Some of my clients may sell
their homes to those they
work with through electronic
bulletin boards, email or
open-house events.
Cancel the listing at
anytime, before it's sold
You can cancel at anytime
simply by faxing or emailing
a note stating "I want to
cancel the listing". It's
that simple! The
cancellation becomes
effective 24 hours after
required notice. However,
please allow 5 business days
to have the sign removed and
the listing withdrawn from
the MLS and the internet.
NO advanced fees of any kind
You only pay if I procure an
offer that is acceptable to
you.
"No Pressure"
presentation
I will never allow you to be
"pressured" by the buyers’
agent and you will never be
pressured by me. All offers
will be faxed or delivered
to my office, and will be
presented to you in detail,
so you can make your
decisions privately.
Flexible Commission Schedule
Many realtors have a very
rigid commission schedule.
The Affordable Listing™
offers flexibility and
choices. The commission
varies depending on who
sells your house and whether
or not I will be helping you
sell or buy your next home.
Please call me to find out
exactly what I would charge
in your situation.
Q: What
if I find a buyer?
With my
program
The Affordable
Listing™,
If you find
a Buyer who is not working with an agent
or has not contacted me, you have the
option of calling and letting me know
you've sold the property. I will then
cancel the listing at no charge to you.
Or, if you would like me to represent
you in the sale, I will write the
contract and handle all the various
details and disclosures to ensure a
successful closing. I do charge a
smaller commission then the standard for
this service. This is the same service I
provide when you are paying 6%. But in
this example, I didn't find the buyer or
show them the property. You did.
Q: If we list with you, will we be on
the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)?
YES! Any agent who does not place your
home on MLS is doing you a huge
disservice. With thousands of agents in
the Sacramento Region, it is important
to tap into that agent base of buyers.
Q:
Once I have reviewed your
The
Affordable Listing™
package, then what?
Contact me by email or phone,
and we will set up an
appointment for us to meet. I
will tour your home, go over
recent market activity in your
area to educate you on values,
and make recommendations for
maximizing your profit and
increasing your speed of sale.
Q: How long does it take to get my home
on the market?
Once I have a signed listing agreement,
I can have your home on the market
within 24 hours. However, it usually
takes a day or two for the sign company
to professionally install the sign.
Q: Can I save more money if I buy and
sell through you?
Absolutely! If you are selling
more than one house or plan to both sell
and buy (new or resale) ask me what I
would charge in that situation.
Q: How do you set the price for my home?
I will meet with you to review a
complete a market analysis of your home,
evaluate supply and demand for the area,
and examine property condition. At that
point, I can guide you to the correct
range of pricing.
Q: There
are a couple of people who are
interested in buying my home. If they
buy it, do I have to pay you a
commission?
Absolutely not. There is no commission
due for any buyer you find, before or
while you have your home listed with me,
as long as that buyer is not an Agent or
working with an Agent. With most agents,
if you have your home listed with them
and find your own buyer, you owe them
the full commission. In this kind of
situation, with my program
The Affordable Listing™,
unless you want my assistance, there is
no commission due.
Q: What if my plans change and I don't
need or want to sell my house?
You may cancel your listing at anytime,
before it's sold. There is no charge and
no hard feelings.
Q: Will you make a flyer for my house?
Yes. I prepare high quality,
multiple photo, full color flyer on your
home.
Q: Can I have my sign as well as
yours on the property?
The only marketing right you give up
when you list with me is your own for
sale sign. Having another sign, besides
a sign provided by me (John Leonardi),
could potentially interfere with agent
showings and in order to comply with
REALTOR rules and RE/MAX, we can only
have one sign on the property that I
provide.
Q: "I've heard that some
companies will advertise a
"Flat-Fee", then, later in the
listing term charge for other
things?"
Unfortunately, there are some
"Discount" real estate companies
that have very misleading
advertisements. With my program
"The
Affordable Listing™",
there are NO Additional
Fee's that will surprise you
later in the listing term.
Q: If I list with you, can I
still run an ad in the paper or
hold an Open House?
Yes. The ONLY marketing right
you give up when you list with
me is your personal yard sign
and open house signs.
