Talking Houses, is a new effective marketing device, allowing potential buyers driving by, to tune in a radio station to hear about your home's features. It also allows the agent to get a phone number to that person for further marketing. Advertising in property magazines, newspapers and open houses are additional methods used and probably the least effective ways to market real estate. Most large franchises want sellers and their agents to believe that. Larger companies can't be as flexible on commission because they have more layers to feed.
Smaller companies have less overhead with less or no other ownership involved to feed.
As a result, a lower commission can be agreed upon with the same effective marketing a large company offers. Talk with agents from different companies to find out what services they can provide and decide what is the best value for getting your property sold.
