Vancouver Home Selling System
Technology and the internet have forever changed the way people think and connect. Social media has given the power back to the consumer in a huge way. There was a time when large corporations controlled what we watched on TV, what would become mainstream' and how much we paid for their products that they thought we should buy. With enough advertising dollars, any product could be forced down the consumers throat. Those days are over.
Social media has put the consumer back in control. The wisdom of the crowd is more powerful than any amount of advertising dollars. Dictators are being toppled, unlikely stars being born and rock bands planning their tours in direct response to fan page numbers on social media sites. Quite simply it's all about listening to people and giving them what they want.
That's what www.homesellingcoupons.com is all about. The idea came from a client of mine who absolutely loves the value presented by online mass buying concepts such as Groupon, Teambuy, Swarmjam etc. She asked whether any Vancouver realtors offer their services in a similar manner. After a long discussion the answer came up a no. The obvious reason is that real estate fees are paid only after services are rendered. We decided another reason for this was that real estate agency representation is far too serious for such an impulse purchase model to make any sense to consumers.
What did emerge from the conversation is that consumers want choice and if they don't get it they'll go elsewhere. This is particularly true in a competitive business like real estate. Consumers (sellers) want to know how much their house or condo is worth and how much the real estate fees are going to be. Period. Being a nice person, providing exceptional service and knowing your market are expected standards, not special features.
HomeSellingCoupons.com is a clear and understandable presentation of my real estate services at three different levels and three different price points. The first option is 100% full service with all the marketing bells and whistles, the second a balance and the third is for those people who want full MLS representation without the frills. I have several clients who choose not to have open houses at all instead preferring private viewings only.
My commission as the listing agent is negotiable and it's largely determined by what marketing services the seller wants. What's not negotiable is the selling side commission, or the commission that gets paid to the buyers agent that brings a buyer client through your house or condo. That stays at 3.125% of the first $100,000 and 1.16% of the purchase price balance. For a full description of the systems read the Frequently Asked Questions page on the Home Selling Coupons website.
