Another huge benefit of having a Realtor is that third-party influence, when it comes to negotiating a sale. I have a giant list of services that they basically pick from, what they need and don't need. That will determine a fee. Or it could be a traditional approach, a percentage. The key to this working is that it's crystal-clear and in writing.
People have to understand the fair exchange.
We build in checkpoints to see how it's working, and they have the option to upgrade service. Kathy Gallagher stuck with the minimal menu when she sold her house in Elgin about a year ago, with Bruderle's aid. I wanted to sleep at night, so I knew I needed some help. She hired Bruderle to list the house with the MLS, which she figured was key to getting more buyers in quickly. He gave us signs.
