How to Sell Alberta Real Estate for Less

Read below to learn how we can sell your Alberta real estate property as well as anyone else, but for much less in commissions and fees.

The Normal Way to Sell Alberta Real Estate

You decide if you want to sell Alberta real estate on your own (For Sale By Owner), or if you want to use an agent. Many people are scared to go at it alone, so they consider hiring an agent. They look around, ask their friends, and they find an agent who comes and sits down with you and explains the benefits of using an agent.

* You agree that it makes sense, and then the Alberta Real Estate agent explains the 3.5% on the first $100,000 and 1.5% balance of sale price Listing Agent Fee, and the 3.5% on the first $100,000 and 1.5% balance Selling Agent Fee. On a $400,000 house, the average commission is $16,000! Isn't there a better (meaning less expensive) way?!? We think so.

(There are no set commission fees in the Province of Alberta, claims of savings are based on a commission structure of 7% on the first $100,000 and 3% of the balance of sale price.)

The Better Way to Sell Alberta Real Estate!

We think that the most you should pay when you sell Alberta Real Estate is $4,950, regardless of how much your house sells for. So, as long as your house is worth more than $71,000, you should keep on reading!

Here's How It Works

You pay us $1,950 up front. This is much different than normal, where you only pay once your house sells. We do everything that the traditional Alberta real estate agent would do, including listing the property in the MLS (Multiple Listing System), newpaper listings and internet exposure with a video open house. We even provide the scented candles and tranquil mood music CD to use when you’re expecting a showing of your home.

Once your house sells, you pay us the remaining $3,000. That's it!

Why Should I Consider This?

That's a great question, and we are truly here to help. This should answer some of your questions.

Pros:

• Save $1,000's on getting professional real estate service! (As long as your house is worth more than $71,000, you will save money)
• The cost is fixed, so the more your house is worth, the more you save.
• Full MLS service, maximum exposure for your home

Cons:

• The $1,950 is non-refundable, so if your house never sells, you are out $1,950. However, remember that your house can remain listed with us until it sells.
• You have to share some of the risk. You risk $1,950 up front. If you are willing to share some of that risk, you will save over $11,000 on a $300,000 house!
