Why Do Real Estate Agents Charge So Much?

A recent survey of 1,000 real estate consumers found 42.7 percent said commissions are too high. 

So, let’s talk commissions. 

Though fees were the biggest concern raised in the ShelterZoom survey, a negative response less than 50 percent actually surprised me a little!

It beats Donald Trump’s disapproval rating on FiveThirtyEight

 And it's definitely a step in the right direction! 

Perhaps real estate agents are doing a better job communicating their value to clients. 

And that’s the crux of the matter, isn’t it? 

Value! 

Return on investment! 

If you hire an agent who: 

(1) Listens carefully to your concerns and acts accordingly.

(2) Markets your home persuasively and to its best advantage.

(3) Negotiates vigorously and professionally with your best interests at heart.

(4) Communicates with you often and answers all your questions thoroughly so you can make the best decisions.

(5) Manages all those people involved in the transaction.

(6) Speaks the truth (even when you don’t want to hear it). 

Then you should see benefits like:

(1) A larger bottom-line financial result.

(2) Much less stress. 
  
(3) Fewer frustrations, distractions, disapointments and delays.

(4) A smooth, clean and timely closing.

(5) A much reduced chance of costly, time-consuming post-transaction issues.

 How much is this worth to you? 

The comments section is now open! What do you think?
