Before I became a real estate agent, I owned three properties. I bought and sold homes, and while I was able to negotiate more favorable terms, I always felt that the 5% commission is too much equity to give up for the service of selling a home.
It never sat right with me. The work involved in selling a property — while important — didn't justify thousands of dollars that could be reinvested, used for a down payment, or simply kept by the homeowner.
So I built a business model on charging a fair commission while over-delivering on results. That's 1% from me, full-service representation, and the peace of mind that you're working with someone who genuinely understands what it means to own and sell property.
