(Newswire.net — December 28, 2020) –Selling your home is a major milestone. Your home will likely be the most expensive thing you ever purchase, and the idea of making a mistake in the sale or purchase of a home is a bit terrifying.
The right agent can make the process of selling your home go faster, and with relatively little stress. Making the right choices of real estate agent can mean a difference of thousands of dollars in your pocket. While many people choose traditional real estate agencies with name recognition, there are some very strong reasons to go with newer companies like Felix Homes.
Felix Homes Charges Smaller Commissions
The most obvious thing that sets Felix Homes apart from most real estate agencies is the commission rate. The industry standard commission rate is six percent of the total sale price of the home. Of this six percent, half goes to the buyer agent, and half to the seller agent.
Felix Homes uses technology to streamline the buying and listing process, allowing them to charge a substantially smaller commission rate of 1 % for the portion of the sale that Felix Homes represents. This can be a savings of ten thousand dollars or more.
Just because Felix charges lower commission rates, they are not a “discount” real estate agency. Felix Co-Founders Tyler, Niv, and Phil believe that an efficiently run agency shouldn’t need to charge 3% in order to make their money. Felix focuses on technology driven solutions to streamline the process of listing and selling.
Felix Will Help You Get Your Home Ready for the Sale
Traditional real estate agencies use an outdated business model of listing homes with blurry photos on the MLS, then hoping that enough people will go see the home based on a few pictures and a description of the home on the service. The agents focus on listing a lot of homes, and charging a higher commission rate. This means that a traditional real estate agent can make their income by selling only one or two houses per month.
The lack of motivation to quickly sell your home on the part of traditional real estate agents means that your home is likely to be listed for quite a while before it sells. Felix Homes starts by making sure your home is ready to attract buyers. If your home needs a coat of paint, a deep cleaning, or furniture staging, Felix will help make sure you get those things done.
After your home is ready to be shown, before listing, your felix agent will schedule a professional photo shoot that will make sure your home is shown in its best light. This will encourage social media shares, increasing your exposure and getting your home in front of more people.
Felix will email your listing to a large list of prospective buyers, and your Felix agent will follow up with each and every person who showed interest in your home. Felix agents spend much less time prospecting new clients, allowing them to focus on the steps of selling your home.
Felix uses experienced agents who are prepared for the complications that arise when you are selling a home. Felix agents understand the middle Tennessee market, and know how to handle the specific difficulties of buying and selling a home in this area.
In summary, If you are looking for a real estate agent, it may be time to consider a company that is prepared to keep up with the times. If you feel that a technology driven, client focused real estate agency is right for you, give Felix Homes a call!
