See how Consumer's Edge Realty works for you

Selling a home can be a big task and it involves many different components to ensure a successful real estate transaction. To begin with, your home must be priced appropriately, prepared properly, and promoted effectively. Then, when prospective buyers are found, offer and counter-offers may need to be negotiated and appropriate terms and conditions must be put in place to ensure that you are fully protected and will get the best possible contract for the purchase of your home.

Have you ever wondered what the differences are between all traditional real estate firms? The fact is there is no real difference. Whether a large national firm or a one person office, they all perform the same basic functions such as pricing the home, putting it in a multiple listing service, placing a sign in the yard, and setting appointments to show and sell the home. They also charge about the same for these services, most of the time that's 6% of the selling price.The way this usually works is if a buyer agent procures the buyer, the listing agent will split the commission. However, if the listing agent also procures the buyer, you still pay the same 6%. For example on a $200,000 home, the seller pays $12,000 commission. Ask yourself this...If you are selling your home and another agent brings a buyer then aren't you really paying your agent 3% and 3% to the other agent? If your agent brings a buyer and no other agent is involved, you are still charged 6%. At Consumer's Edge, we think this is just too much and not very fair!
Remember the comission comes right out of the sellers equity, and this could be a substantial amount of profits!

At Consumer's Edge we feel "It's you equity and you should keep it!". That's why we offer the highest quality service at much lower costs and fair pricing.
