Services

The services listed below are focused in the area of residential real estate. They are offered to end users (the general public), builders, developers and investors with a variety of agency or non-agency models, using the traditional 'percentage of sale price' or 'fee-for-service' formats. General commission structures are commensurate with the specific needs of the client or customer, as every hiring is unique.

All interactions start with appropriate disclosures required by government agencies and to meet expectations, the use of clear, transparent and 'readable' contracts are standard procedure. Regardless of form, typical residential work or more complex development projects, the ethical management of each transaction is top priority.

Non Traditional / Flat Fee / Fee-For-Service:

  • For Sale By Owner: This is a standardized $225.00 'flat fee' automated listing service with limited support to the seller. The seller is able to list the property online; upload photos and have the listing posted to the local MLS (Multiple Listing Service). A great choice for the 'do-it-yourselfers'.

  • Site Discovery: This is a 'flat fee' service most often used in conjunction with a non-agency facilitation agreement specifically designed for developers. The pricing for this service is generally tied to the development unit count proposed. There has been notable success with this model including working with nationally recognized name brand developers.

  • Buyer Registration: This is a $175.00 'flat fee' service where highly focused buyers wish to be 'registered' for reverse prospecting by listing agents, for a very specific property of style, design or location. The customer's unique criterion is placed in a professionally accessible database for notification when an exact MLS listings matches all of their predetermined parameters. This can be a huge time-saver for the precise buyer.

  • Consulting: The fee for our real estate consulting service is $200/hour. We can offer opinions regarding the structuring of transactions, documentation, real estate investment goals and similar. We do not offer any legal or other advice outside of the real estate arena. You are advised to seek out the appropriate attorneys or other professionals for those needs.
