Find or Sell Your Home FAST

And save thousands in commission fees in the process

There’s a lot to take in here — but I encourage you to read through this.

I don’t believe that a percentage-based model is the best model to use when selling real estate for other people. I believe that a pre-determined fee should be agreed upon between the real estate agent and the person whose property is being sold.

It seems like no matter what company you work with, the seller always pays between 5-7% to sell their homes. The listing brokerage would be paid and then they would pay the co-op amount to the buyer’s agent.

It also seems like this method of running a real estate company hasn’t really changed since at least the 1950s, even though the processes have become much more efficient.

Social Media
Marketing

We can’t stress this enough — your online presence matters! That’s why, in addition to MLS syndication and email marketing, we also provide social media marketing. Facebook and Instagram are both amazing for finding potential leads, and we’ll run “smart” ads on these platforms that specifically target aspiring home buyers. Social media platforms allow for very specific targeting via their ad systems, and we know how to find the people out there in Colorado who might be interested in your home. Social media is more popular than it’s ever been, and you’d be surprised what kind of results can be achieved by harnessing it to its full potential.

Dedicated Real
Estate Agent

We sell homes FAST — and often for more than the asking price. As Northern Colorado locals and real estate agents, we know our market and how to sell your home. Our FLAT-FEE real estate services present a clear choice when selling a house. Per the Colorado Listing Agreement, when we work as your seller’s agent, we operate solely on behalf of you, the seller, to promote your interests with the utmost good faith, loyalty, and fidelity. We’re the MLS realtor you’ve been looking for, and we’ll help you sell your house while saving you money.

Email
Marketing

We provide email marketing to agents all over Northern Colorado and the Denver Metro area. While getting syndicated on an MLS system is essential for your online presence, email marketing provides an absolute guarantee that realtors all over the state will see your property and send it off to their respective buyers.
One of the most important parts of our email marketing is the E-Brochure that we’ll create for your property. This will provide a detailed look at your home with engaging pictures, descriptions, and much more. We believe professionalism is important for getting your home out there, so we make sure that fellow realtors see nothing but the best-of-the-best.

The Real Estate Industry Today

In today’s world, when we enter a new listing with all the pictures and property information into the local MLS system, that property will literally be viewable around the globe within a couple of hours. There is a syndication process that all the websites like Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, etc., use to pull that information to their own websites. In total, there are hundreds of websites that each listing will be on within hours — all done automatically.

We don’t have a MLS “book” anymore and we aren’t driving to each other’s offices to let agents know about our new house for sale! We put this information directly into potential buyers’ hands (literally) within seconds using the correct applications. Using the MLS is just one way we’ve become more efficient in the industry. We won’t even get into modern means of communicating, Docu-Sign, Smart Phones, or how we’re not driving buyers all over town as much anymore. The point is, the world has changed — but this way of doing business hasn’t.

We don’t claim to have the best answer here, but technology has made our work easier, faster, and more efficient. We have the ability to handle multiple transactions, all at the same time using a cell phone — that’s a far cry from what the industry looked like 20 years ago!

On an average home, we spend roughly 20 to 30 hours of overall work between having the home ready to go on the market and sitting at the closing table. That includes:

• The initial first visit to the home and any subsequent visits throughout the process
• Creating all necessary documents to list the home
• Hiring and meeting with photographer
• Installing a sign and a lock-box
• Getting the property listed on the MLS with all relevant information and documentation
• Getting online showing services set up on the home
• Scheduling and hosting an open house
• Taking all calls
• Answering all emails
• Helping you negotiate and weigh your options
• Accepting an offer
• Working through the transaction with the other agent or with the buyers
• Coordinating inspections and appraisals
• Attending the closing

There could be a few things we do for you that I didn’t mention on the list — actually, there’s a lot — but the point is this: we can do most of the behind the scenes aspects of this work remotely and electronically. Some of it can even be done on a smartphone! If you have the right processes in place, your work becomes very efficient.

So, who is a good fit to work with us?
