1% Commission Full Service
Real Estate Listings |
 We can sell your
Metro Atlanta area home for about HALF of
the commission that other agents charge, saving you thousands of
dollars!
Hiring a traditional real estate
agent can cost you over 7% on the sale of your
home. On a $300,000 home that could be over $21,000 - on a $500,000
home that could be over $35,000. This is simply
way too expensive!
With our
innovative program, you save money and keep your hard earned home equity by greatly discounting the fee paid to
us, the listing agent. We only charge 1% commission to list and sell a
home.
We handle all
contracts, paperwork, negotiations, repair amendments, etc. We help
you every step of the way and help you negotiate to get the best offer
on your home. We are committed to providing you with the highest level
of service with the lowest commission.
We place your
listing in both MLS databases used in the Metro Atlanta, GA area,
FMLS (First Multiple Listing Service) and
Georgia MLS
(Georgia Multiple Listing Service), and as a Showcase Listing on
Realtor.com, the
#1 real estate website.
The
simple fact is more homes are sold through the MLS than any other
place. If your home is not in both MLS databases and on
Realtor.com, you are not getting the
exposure you need to sell your home.
 In
addition to being in both multiple listing services and on Realtor.com,
we offer Total Internet Exposure by featuring your home on all of the
top real estate websites including Google Base, Craigslist,
Point2Homes, Yahoo! Classifieds, Move.com, AtlantaMLS.com, and many,
many more!
Get the exposure
you need without having to give all of your money to a real estate
agent.
We take time to
properly photograph your home with professional wide-angle cameras to
ensure your home looks appealing to potential buyers.
We include a professional Virtual Tour of your home that is added to your
listing on FMLS and Georgia MLS and is presented as a "Featured Tour"
on Realtor.com.
Most Atlanta real
estate firms do not even provide the same level of service and exposure for
their 7% full commission listings as we do for our 1% commission
listings. Why
overpay to sell your home?
You can get the exposure you need without the costs
associated with typical real estate listings with our ultra low
1% commission listing program.
There are no up-front fees. We
handle all contracts, paperwork, negotiations, repair amendments, etc.
The listing options above include only
the fees paid to us, the listing agent. To ensure your home is attractive to
selling agents, we recommend that you offer a 3% commission
based on the sales price of your home to the selling agent. If you sell the property yourself you
pay NO COMMISSION to a selling broker (buyer's agent). Listing fees
paid to Michael Smith at closing are still applicable.

Additional Details |
All MLS service fees
normally paid at closing are included in our 1% listing
commission. We do not
charge any administrative or other type of fees commonly charged
by other real estate firms.
All options
above include only the fees paid to us, the listing agent. In real
estate, a commission is paid to both the listing agent and the
selling agent. To ensure your home is attractive to selling
agents, we recommend that you offer a 3% commission based on the
sales price of your home to the selling agent.
Our 1% commission listings require a minimum
listing agent commission of
$1495.00 or 1% of sales price, whichever is greater, to be paid at closing.
Listings withdrawn before expiration date are subject to a $70.00
withdrawal fee per listing. If you sell the property yourself you

fees paid to Michael Smith at closing are still applicable. All
listings are subject to final approval
by Michael Smith. |

Customer Commitment |
|
Please note that
we do not have
hidden fees like many other real estate firms. We are fair and upfront with
all the terms of our listings. Some national for sale
'by owner'
real estate firms charge huge upfront fees and they don't even include
your home in the MLS. Other firms tack on listing fees hidden
in the fine print that must be paid if your your home sells.
Other services
claim they list your home in the "MLS", however they often put
your home in the MLS that is not even used by real estate agents in
your area. Don't be fooled.
We handle all
contracts, paperwork, negotiations, repair amendments, etc.
We help you every step of
the way and help you negotiate to get the best offer on your home.
We are committed to providing you with
the highest level of service at the best price.
