Does CCR assist me in negotiating
a sale price once I get an offer on my home?
CCR is first and foremost a listing agency rather
than a broker. Our
job is to give you marketing through MLS and you can take control from
there. This way, there is nothing lost in translation and you have
the first and last word in the selling price of your home. That
said, we are always happy to offer negotiation advice and in that capacity
will assist you in any way we can.
Will you run my open house?
Although we will not be doing your open house in
person, the services included in our Platinum package are step-by-step
instructions on how to prepare for, run and follow up on an open house. With
these tools you will have the best chance at making an excellent first
impression on potential buyers.
What is MLS?
MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service (MLS.com);
it is a real estate, insurance and mortgage advertising service company
that allows you to find real estate property through out the US quickly
and easily through its various real estate agent web sites. It also helps
users locate other company’s services needed in a real estate
transaction. It is a web portal that allows its users to search
and find brokers and agents and then compare their backgrounds, commission
rates and more. MLS also works with other types of real estate
related entities to advertise their businesses. MLS provides
us access to thousands of homes that are for sale – it is the
exact site that real estate professionals use when working with active
home buyers. Common Cents Realty, as a professional real estate
group, has access to this valuable site and will share this valuable
resource with you, our clients.
What are brokers’ commissions
for and how high can they go?
A real estate broker’s commission is the amount of money owed to
the buyer’s and/or seller’s agents upon the closing of the
purchase and sale of a home. It’s the amount you pay in exchange
for the broker’s assistance with your sale or purchase. Brokers
are entitled to commissions that range from 3% and 7% of the total sale
of the property.
How will you help me prepare the information
necessary to get my property listed on MLS?
CCR will provide platinum customers instructions on all steps required
to prepare your posting, get ready for an open house, plus tips on understanding
comparable properties, marketing your home, etc.
