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 the MLS and having other agents
sell it. At Assist-2-Sell, Sellers & Buyers Realty, we believe you deserve choices. We may be
able to find the Buyer for your home without relying on the other agents to bring their
buyers. Over Eighty Percent (80%) of our home sellers list their homes under
the "Direct-To-Buyer" marketing program, with outstanding results.
How much does it cost?
Regardless of the selling price, our fee ranges from 1.9% to 3.9% to sell your home.
How does it work?
As the name implies, our marketing efforts are directed to buyers as opposed to focusing on getting buyers through the 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 these primary marketing avenues:
Signs
Buyers tend to drive through neighborhoods they are interested in. A surprising number of homes sell just off the sign.Advertising
Buyers tend to read the local publications where homes are advertised. Assist-2-Sell, Sellers & Buyers Realty utilizes the most effective publications for our area including the Boston Globe and various local publications. Our ads feature your home, not agents. We advertise to attract buyers, so our ads are informative, not fluffy. Last, but certainly not least, we publish our own web page and your listing is usually on our web site within hours of listing with us. Our site generates a large volume of buyer inquiries. Your agent will review the advertising strategy with you.Open Houses
Many real estate agents will tell you open houses don't work. This is probably because they don't like to do them. We don't blame them as they are time consuming. At Assist-2-Sell, Sellers & Buyers Realty, we allow you the opportunity to host open houses and we provide the signs, flyers, newspaper advertising, everything you need and they are easy to do. You save us time, we save you money.Word of Mouth
Mention to someone you are selling and they might know of someone interested. With most agencies, you find the buyer and they most likely will still charge you the full commission. At Assist-2-Sell, Sellers & Buyers Realty, you enjoy a lower fee if you help find the buyer.Other
When you think about it, there are really not too many other ways to let buyers know your home is available. The only thing missing under our Direct-To-Buyer program is MLS. We offer MLS as an option. Click on MLS for Less! for more information.
