Sacramento Real Estate Blog

As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been thinking for some time about offering discounted listing services, and I’ve finished the first draft of some of the literature about this service offering.

The best part of this to-date (I think — you tell me) is the Savings Calculator, which shows just how much you’ll save with my discount rate structure compared to a standard, full-commission broker.

I’m very excited about being able to save local sellers thousands of dollars when they list their home. We’ve published a lot of information about how the market is slowing somewhat, so in a way it’s a crazy time to be doing this (listings are taking longer to sell and requiring more work — so one would think I should charge more, not less). But if I look at this from a homeowner’s perspective (not my own), then the slowing market means you’re already losing enough equity to price reductions — you don’t need to be spending more on full commission listings.

Anyway, check out the savings calculator and the Sacramento Discount Broker - Frequently Asked Questions. It’s pretty newly minted, so please let me know if you have questions or problems.
