Welcome to Your Real Estate Savings Center

A more flexible and cost effective way to get your home sold.
Presented by Charleston Homes For Sale Realty.

  • You select from our 4 Full Service Home Listing, Marketing, and Selling Solutions  
  • Our total commissions are listed below. We charge a $49 monthly marketing fee and the balance at closing.
  • You select the commission fee you would like to offer to the Buyer’s Agent in the Realtors’ MLS System.  
  • You select the length of the listing agreement, and you can cancel at anytime without cost or obligation.

Full Service FSBO – 0.5% or 0.9% - Known as “Blue Ribbon FSBO” since 1998, this plan has been updated to be more flexible for you in today’s tough market. If you are a homeowner willing to do some of the work it will save us time and save you money. Our fee is only0.9% if you use your sign, flyers, and lock box, or only 0.5% if you use ours because our combination typically leads to a faster sale. And if we find the buyer and they are not working with another Realtor, we collect only the fee offered in the MLS system and you keep the additional 0.9% or 0.5% at closing.  

Full Service FOR LESS – 1.5% – the best of both real estate worlds. You receive most if not all of the features and benefits you might expect from a traditional “Big” Company listing, marketing, and selling plan, but with ours you keep more of your equity at closing. Importantly, the “Real Estate Savings Center” concept, is not some ”Limited Service” plan that will leave you wanting. Our Full Service FOR LESS program gives you both the Professional Service you need and the Significant Savings you will appreciate during these very challenging economic times.

Full Service PLUS – 1.9% – With a greater number of sellers competing for the limited number of ready, willing, and able buyers in today’s market, your home must really “stand out”.  So in addition to the features and benefits provided with the Full Service FOR LESS program above, the PLUS program includes a Virtual Home Tour, a Web Site for your Home, a Home Warranty, and a Professional Quality Color Brochure for your home that will really impress. These features don’t guarantee you will sell your home faster or for a higher price, but they can give you a big advantage over most if not all of the competition.

Full Service Short Sale – 0.0% You receive all of the features and benefits of the Full Service FOR LESS program, but there normally no monthly fees or agent commissions to pay. As part of a Short Sale Agreement your mortgage holder typically pays the agent fees, as well as the fees of a professional professional Short Sale Negotiator we bring on to help us all avoid a potential foreclosure. This Short Sale program can help you eliminate a lot of the stress, and help you get on with your life, as long as you contact us before it is too late. You can contact me during normal business hours for a Complimentary and Confidential Consultation;

Isle of Palms, SC Real Estate Discounts

Are you looking for an experienced Full Service Seller’s Agent who also provides significant discounts so you can keep more of your equity at closing?

Some Charleston Realtors® offer significant discounts but only provide “Limited Service”. That plan may have been enough when the U.S. Dept. of Justice had this to say about discounted real estate services and limited service for sellers. But things have changed a lot since then and “Limited Services” just don’t work anywhere near as effectively in today’s very challenging real estate market.

Independent real estate brokers that offer both Full Service and Discounts are now competing more effectively with the big Franchise Agencies because of a few reasons:

  • Independent real estate Brokers with small “boutique” offices don’t have the big overhead like the Big Franchise Agencies, so they can afford to charge lower fees to their clients. This is a growing business trend to watch in real estate.
  • Many Independent Brokers are also the Owners and do not share their commissions with Big Franchise Companies. This means they can afford to offer more of a commission split to top agents, who in turn can share more of their commission with buyers and sellers.
  • The Internet has saved tech savvy REALTORS® and real estate consumers a lot of leg work and a lot of time locating homes and other real estate. Since time is money in many cases this can equate to considerable savings for both parties.
  • Today’s Technology enables Independent Brokers to provide top level service at the same level as the bigger well known companies. In a  survey of more that 14,000 home sellers, most indicated paying less for services today won’t hurt the quality of service they receive.

That’s how and why we can back up our significant Discounts with Full Service, listing, marketing, and selling solutions. And since about 90% of serious home buyers start their search on the Internet that is where we  concentrate our efforts for you to get your property sold just as fast if not faster that the larger well know companies.

You can Contact Us for a free, no obligation, no hard sell, personal consultation. Or if you are not ready for all of that, you will find a short form below for any questions you may have about selling you Charleston, SC home or other real estate.
