Saving Home Sellers Thousands: That's What We Do

In discount real estate, GreatNest, how to sell your home, save when selling, Sellers

All right, I admit it:  we brag a bit.  We are proud of what we do and of the results we achieve and sometimes we like to crow about it.  We sometimes use photos of homes we've sold in our advertising, noting how much the sellers saved by selling through us.  There's a good reason for this:

Saving home sellers thousands is what we do.  It is our identity and it's something we want everyone in the Triad to understand:  The Vincent Group at GreatNest will sell your home quickly and save you thousands of dollars over what an ordinary real estate broker might charge.

Truth is, we get just as excited about the money our home sellers save as we do about the fees we earn.  The more they save, the more excited we get.  You see, we've learned over the years if we can provide outstanding service AND save people money, they will tell their friends, neighbors and co-workers about us and our business will grow.

It is a strategy that has worked so well for us that in December, we were The Top Producing GreatNest Office nation-wide!  That's right.  GreatNest, right here in little ole' Greensboro, North Carolina, was the top producing office in the GreatNest system!  We beat out offices in California and Hawaii, in Washington D.C. and Florida.  We've been ranking in the top 10 for months but it is great validation for our program when we can hit the top spot.

Let's take a look at this money saving strategy in detail.  Here is a listing we sold last year:

It is a great house located in Hamilton Forest with 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and more than 3,000 Square Feet.  The seller listed with GreatNest in late June.  We sold it a few weeks later for $475,000 and it closed at the end of August.

The seller could have chosen to list with a friend or neighbor in the real estate business and might have paid and ordinary real estate commission of, say, 6%.  If he had, he'd have paid $28,500 to sell his house.  Instead, he did the smart thing:  he listed with GreatNest and paid our low set fee of $5,950.  As it turned out, an outside MLS agent represented the buyer and so the seller also had to compensate that agent and company an additional $14,250; so total commission paid on the transaction was $20,200, a savings of $8,500 over what that ordinary real estate company might have charged.

And here is the icing on the cake:  this seller, like all of our home sellers, gave up nothing to save that money.  We are a full-service real estate company doing all the things great real estate companies do, but charging a low set fee for our service.

If you are thinking about selling - and now is a great time - you owe it to yourself to find out how we save sellers thousands of dollars and get the job done quickly and efficiently.  Call us today for a free, no-obligation consultation.
