CHOICE #1

Direct-to-Buyers"TM Marketing Program

While there is no question that MLS is a very powerful marketing tool, it may not be necessary to sell your home. Most real estate agents offer just one marketing program which primarily focuses on placing your home in MLS and having other agents sell it. At Assist-2-Sell, we believe you deserve choices, and we recognize that. Depending on the current market conditions in your area, we may be able to find a buyer without relying on other agents. Many home sellers like the idea of trying out Direct-To-Buyers marketing program.

How does it work
As the name implies, our marketing efforts are directed to buyers rather than MLS agents.

In order for a buyer to purchase your home, they first need to know it is available. We call this exposure. We expose your home to buyers utilizing the following primary marketing avenues.

Signs
Buyers tend to drive through neighborhoods in which they are interested. A surprising number of homes sell from buyers seeing a sign.

Advertising
Buyers tend to read the local publications where homes are advertised. This, of course, varies from area to area. Assist-2-Sell offices utilize the most effective publications. Our advertising features your home, not individual agents. We advertise to attract buyers so our ads are informative, not fluffy. Your agent will review the advertising strategy they use in your area.

Word of Mouth
Mention to someone you are selling and they might know of someone interested in buying. With a traditional office you help find the buyer, and they, most likely, will still charge you the full commission. At Assist-2-Sell, you enjoy a lower fee if you help find the buyer.

Other
When you think about it, there really are not too many other ways to let buyers know that your home is available. The only thing missing under our Direct-To-Buyer program is MLS. We offer MLS as an option.

What else is included in our Direct-To-Buyer program?

Yes! We show your home!
Buyers call our office from seeing the advertising or the signs, and one of our agents will set up an appointment to show your home to the buyer.

Yes! We negotiate the purchase agreement!
If the buyer is interested in buying your home, we will handle the negotiating and all the paperwork.

Yes! We oversee the closing process!
There are many details involved that require expert attention once the purchase agreement is accepted. Our agents work the same as traditional agents to assure that everything that needs to be done, gets done. This includes working with the lender, appraiser, inspectors, attorneys, and escrow companies.

And, of course, we only get paid for results!
If we don't sell your home, you don't owe us anything. We have confidence and a proven success record. We don't charge up-front fees, and there are no hidden costs.

CHOICE #2

"MLS for Less!" SM

Why do sellers often pay real estate agents 6% or 6 1/2%* to sell their home?

Because it works! The Multiple Listing Service(MLS®) is the most powerful marketing tool in place today to sell homes.

Most homes around the country sell through the MLS system. The power of MLS is cooperation and compensation. Most home sales involve two offices, a listing office and a selling office.

This means that it is not important which office you choose to sell your home as it is that your home is listed in the MLS.

You can pay less and still get MLS
Assist-2-Sell allows you to enjoy the full power of MLS while paying less.

Here's how it works....
When you list with a traditional agent, they place your home on the MLS. The listing office offers to share the total commission you are paying with the other MLS agents. This compensation is their incentive to sell your home.

Assist-2-Sell offers MLS!
All Assist-2-Sell offices are REALTORS® and members of the MLS®. Assist-2-Sell offers you the option of placing your home in the same MLS system at a lower total commission. Just like the traditional offices, we share the commission with MLS agents, so they have the same incentive to sell your home as all the other homes in the MLS. The cooperating agents earn the same commission they are accustomed to receiving because Assist-2-Sell absorbs the "discounted" portion of the total commission.

How can we sell homes for lower commission?
Volume. By charging a very competitive, lower commission, Assist-2-Sell generally attacts a higher number of listings, than traditional agents. We can afford to make less on each sale when we sell more homes.

*Commissions used are for example only and not meant that all real estate companies charge these comissions. All commissions are negotiable. Each office independently sets their own commission rates.
