How can Blades afford to accept less than the conventional rate?
We have lower overhead, and we do not have the system of large Real estate companies where money is paid up to the company by the list agent or the buyers agent.
Why would a buyer’s agent agree to less than the conventional rate?
Think about this. I am a buyers agent and my clients go to an open house without me. This happens all the time. They like the house and want me to write an offer.
This offer takes an hour to write up. Let’s assume this house is 800K. The seller of the home typically pays a buyer’s agent 2% of the sale.
Do you think the buyer’s agent deserves 16K of your home’s equity? We think that is ridiculous.
We offer about half that to the buyer’s agent or 8K.
Isn’t this unfair to all competing agents ?
Our focus on being fair is to the seller or buyer we represent. Traditional rates are taking too much of the seller’s profit. Buyers agents are charging their clients an extra 1% on top of the 2% they are getting from the seller. We would never do this. Most buyers barely have enough money for the down payment and closing cost. Never mind trying to come up with an extra 1% for a greedy buyer’s agent.
What if my house sells for less than the listing price? Does Blades reduce its fee?
Since we are already selling for much less than the competition and providing more services we are not in a position to take less if your house sells for less.
How does the Blades professional service for listing a property compare to other agencies?
We offer all the same services as any other real estate company. We also have a trusted network of professionals with over a 100 years of experience combined. All of these services are offered to you at a discounted price. You do not have to use any of these services.
How does Blades Fixed Fee Realty differ from traditional real estate agencies?
At Blades Fixed Fee Realty, we offer a transparent and cost-effective approach to buying and selling property. Instead of charging a percentage-based commission, we charge a fixed fee, which means you can save money while still receiving professional service from our experienced team. Our clients benefit from competitive pricing, expert marketing, and full support throughout the process.
What services are included in the fixed fee?
Our fixed fee covers a wide range of services, including professional photography, property listing on major real estate websites, market analysis, assistance with negotiations, and full support throughout the transaction. Whether you’re buying or selling, we ensure you get the expert guidance you need without the surprise fees.
Are there any hidden costs or additional fees?
No, there are no hidden costs or additional fees. The price you see is the price you pay. Our fixed fee covers all essential services, so you can rest assured that there won’t be any unexpected charges. However, certain additional services, like staging or premium listings, may have separate charges, but we always provide clear, upfront pricing for these extras.
