Hager Realty: A better way to sell your home
Promote Your House
One Time Fee to List Your Home - Lasts Until Sold!
30 points of strategic marketing are included in our Value Listing for only $500. We make it easy to do business with us by sending one of our expert
listing team to list your home, a guarantee that helps get your home marketed in its best light. Your home will be exposed to millions of people worldwide who view the hundreds of websites that showcase your home. Your home will be listed on premier sites like Realtor.com, MLS, other large and small real estate websites and relocation sites that are vital to your success. Then, when the offers come in, we will help you make more profit by supporting you in negotiating your contract.
Now read through our marketing plan. There are thirty of them so be patient with the length of the list!
- We put your home on the local Multiple Listing Service - This is where most buyers will find your home. As 80% of buyers use an agent when buying a home, it is absolutely essential that you are on the local MLS if you are serious about selling your home. You are listed in the MLS via our laptop computer before we leave your home. Through this real estate database, over 20,000 real estate agents and their buyers will know your home is for sale, get a detailed description of the property, see ten photographs of your home, and know exactly what real estate commission you are willing to pay a real estate agent to bring you a home buyer - usually 2-3% of the sales price'. And because of the savings on the listing side, you can get aggressive and offer 4% to the buyer's agent if you choose! We take pride in the way we list your property on the MLS. We meticulously fill in every blank to make sure that your listing is pulled and shown when a buyer's agent's search criteria matches your property's features. We also add ten photos to the listing so that agents can see more features of your home.
- List your home with a real estate professional, yet retain the benefits of "For Sale By Owner" - Extremely rare in the industry, you are able to get all the benefits of being listed, yet still sell your home as a "For Sale by Owner" and pay no buyer's agent commission if your buyer has not used a real estate agent. Simply stated, if a home buyer comes to you while you are on our program, and that buyer is not working with a real estate agent, no matter how they found you - through the yard sign, one of the ads we build for you, or by referral - you pay no buyer's agent commission! You'll put that 2-3% buyer's commission back in your own pocket. We won't take it from you. A traditional real estate agent won't give you that opportunity. If they set you up on a typical 6% or 7% commission', and there is no buyer's agent present, the listing agent will just keep the whole 6% or 7% for themselves. This is way too much money to pay someone for just a few hours of work.
- Skillful Contract Negotiation Support - Whether your buyer comes with or without an agent, we will be there to offer you support with the contract. Our goal is to create an alliance with you that empowers you to a successful closing and the rewards of getting your house sold. Our guidance through the contract reveals many buyers' rights that may need to be revised to protect your interests. We will do our utmost to help you achieve the highest price and best transaction possible for your property.
- Realtor.com - The world's -1 home searching website, where we customize your "Showcase Home" ad with 10 photos, instead of the usual one or none, and add copy to promote the features of your property you feel are most marketable. You know more about your property than anyone else, including full-priced agents. You just need better tools to tell your story. Realtor.com is one of those tools. Because we produce an oversized ad which includes custom banner headlines, scrolling marquees, color, and large text, we make your ad stand out from all the competing ads, getting your property noticed in a crowded real estate market - your home cannot be missed, so take your best front photo possible! It's this extra effort and creativity that makes us stand apart from all the other real estate agencies, traditional or discount. Click here to see an example listing.
- Other real estate companies' websites - Your ad will appear on most large company and individual agent websites that search the MLS. Your home will appear courtesy of Cartwright Realty. Don't be fooled by other companies. Your home will appear on their website too while listed with us.
- Comprehensive internet advertising on over 40 different websites- Some agents limit their internet marketing to the MLS and a basic ad on Realtor.com. We don't care how your buyer finds you, so we also put you on additional high traffic websites such as Zillow, Google Base, Yahoo Classifieds, Trulia, Oodle, AOL, MSN, Livedeal,Vast.com, House.com and 30 more . We also use local sites such as StPeteTimes.com, TampaTribune.com and Craigslist.com. We even attract international buyers through website like HouseHunting.ca and WorldwideRealEstate ForSale.com. We actively monitor high traffic real estate websites, seeking to align ourselves with websites that offer our clients the most exposure as part of our service.
- Relocation companies' websites - You will be marketed to anyone moving into the area.
- We will contribute up to $16,000 of the purchase price toward your buyer's closing costs, prepaids or escrows as an incentive to sell your home. This is done through a program with our Preferred Mortgage Broker. You can offer a huge incentive while none of it comes out of your pocket. This will enable you to get more traffic and therefore sell quicker with higher price.
- Durable metal yard sign and directionals - We supply you with a standard real estate size sign with a professional finish. Our signs sport a very conservative logo that does not bring attention to the fact that you have a discounted listing. Unlike most of our competitors who don't adhere to this same concern for your privacy, we don't alienate the traditional agents that are bringing you buyers.
- Seller's Property Disclosure - The Florida Association of Realtor's form. It is required by Florida law that you provide this property disclosure. We also supply you with some very important advice on how to fill out this form to save you thousands at closing.
