Comparison of our company vs. Traditional 6% agent

To summarize the chart below --- with our company, you get the same service as with a 6% "traditional agent", except you are paying a lot less money, and we do not come out to your home, as there really is no reason to meet a listing agent. If you choose a 6% agent, you will probably never see them again - the reason being, real estate transactions are done by combinations of phone, email or faxing. In fact, clients that list with us, after being listed with a traditional agent, think we give better service and more advertising. Please take the time and compare for yourself.
