Some Real Estate Agents offer Discount Fees and You usually wind
up with Discount Service and Marketing. Your Home might remain on the Market for an
extended period of time. The time and expense involved for the Listing Agent who is
promoting Your Home might be spread among a dozen or more Discount Listings. Everybody
saves! Right?
Wrong! You only save when Your Property is Sold. You'll be paying property taxes and other
expenses while your real estate sits on the market. The other property you want to
buy...may get sold before you can make an offer. Every Seller wants to save money while
getting superior service. This we understand and truly respect.
If you're a potential seller, then you've probably done your homework and contacted a
dozen Real Estate Agents. You invited them over to view the property and to consult with
you. Some of the sales pitches were probably excellent and some might have needed fine
tuning. In the back of your mind you wanted to know, or you might have asked directly -
What is the commission? How much will I have to increase the listing price to cover the
commission? Our sliding commission structure is detailed below for you to make an informed
decision from the facts.
Note- from Max and The TopTeam at Charles Rutenberg Realty
We do not accept every listing.
Likewise, you do not accept every listing presentation
Some examples - Asking us to generously overprice the listing. Putting severe restrictions
on showing the property to potential buyers. Making unusual demands about marketing the
property. Misrepresentions about the property condition, etc.

directly - What is the commission? How much will I have to increase the

from the facts we relay to you.

then discuss a Listing Price Range.
