We’ve Hatched a new, State-of-the-Art Home and Real Estate Locating System

hatched a better idea - final_edited-1

Everyone appreciates a good deal, but in these very challenging economic times almost everyone wants and needs and an even Better Deal.

Certainly “a Better Deal” could mean a fair price and a faster closing. It could mean getting a discount or credit to keep more of your equity when selling a home or other real estate, and it could also mean a nice fat rebate check when you make your home purchase.

The Real Estate Savings Center is here to help you get your Better Deal. We seek out some of top Independent, Flexible and Cost-Effective real estate service providers around North America, and if qualified we invite them to become network members to make it easier for you to find a better deal in your hometown or your destination city.

Importantly, we are not just looking for those real estate service providers that offer nice discounts and/or rebates, we seek out those with great reputations for professional, full service offerings. Today “Limited Service” companies usually get limited results.

Our Best Home Search Solutions are designed to Save You Time, Effort & Money

There is a New Way to locate the homes that best suit your family’s needs. It’s called the Lifestyle Home Search.

Instead of searching an entire MLS region, and then driving around a widespread area to see the homes that might be of interest, the Lifestyle Home Search saves you a lot of time and effort by letting you concentrate your search on the Neighborhoods, Amenities and Conveniences that best suit your family’s Lifestyle. This can make it a lot easier for you to find the right homes in the right areas so we can set up appointments for you with no wasted time driving to area that just don’t offer what you are really looking for. 

Of course we also offer a more standard MLS Search solution in the form of The MLS Search Engine. The Search Engine links you to the One Stop Online Real Estate Savings Center we have set up for your city or town of choice. The Savings Center features a direct link to a top Realtor MLS search website with easy access to all real estate listings by all participating local MLS real estate companies.

PLus if you are a real estate Investor just looking for a Better Deal, we also provide you with a Free Account to the popular Owlio Investor Search Widget.

Since the mid-1980′s there have been a number of Independent Surveys completed by Money Magazine, Consumer Reports and consumer groups like the Consumer Federation of America comparing the advantages and benefits of using the services of real estate Buyer’s Agent vs. the Traditional real estate sales agent.

In general terms the consensus has been consumers can save more time and money with a Buyer’s Agent working as their real estate advocate compared to going it alone or relying on the Traditional Real Estate person or company who is listing the property for sale.

By law, the listing agent represent the best interests of the Seller and they are obligated to get the seller the best possible price and terms, no matter what they may tell you.

On the other side, A Buyer’s Agent can be a great asset when representing you as the buyer, and the tips below may help you to further understand the advantages of using a Buyer’s Agent.

  • In today’s very challenging real estate market you need all the help you can get, and an experienced Buyer’s Agent working as your advocate can save you time and money from start to finish in the real estate buying process.
  • Seeking out a Buyer’s Agent that is Accredited, Certified, and/or Exclusive, can also be beneficial, as they are typically better trained and better prepared to help you get a better deal no matter what the market conditions may be.
  • Ask an agent if they are willing to Sign an Exclusive Buyer Agency Agreementto offer you 100% Loyalty and thereby protect you from "Dual Agency" which can be a conflict of interests on the part of the agent. Hint: The more listings a company has the bigger the chance they cannot provide you with 100% Loyalty and proper representation.
  • Ask any Agent if you can spend a day or two getting to know each other, as well as the possible purchase chocies before signing the Exclusive Buyer Agency Agreement. If the Buyer’s Agent is helpful, knowledgeable and likable, commit to them so they can commit to you, and help you negotiate the best possible deal on the property that is best for you and your family.
  • Don’t believe any agent that says their services are free. Normally you are paying your Buyer’s Agent indirectly through the price you pay for the home you choose. It is the mortgage money from the buyer’s side that funds the transaction, and it is the seller’s equity that is debited for both the Buyer’s Agent and the Seller’s Agent fees at closing.
  • If you think you can get a better deal without the help of a Buyer’s Agent, you are probably wrong. There is a slight chance you maybe able to negotiate the 2% to 3% agent commission from the seller if you are not using an agent, but consider:
    • The Listing Agent or the Seller is typically entitled to any commission offerer in the MLS system if a Buyer’s Agent is not used.
    • You may be able to negotiate the typical 2% to 3% MLS fee as a discount but a good Buyer’s Agent can easily save you double or triple that amount or more.
    • A good Buyer’s Agent doesn’t base the offer price just on the average price per square foot of recent sale. That is not an accurate estimate in today’s very challenging market, and it can be a big mistake if that is what you think you should go by.
    • You probably don’t not know the actually value, the potential for loss of value, or how much money you might leave on the table during negotiations until it is too late without a Buyer’s Agent at your side. Find Your Buyer’s Agent.

You can now receive a Full Service home listing, marketing and selling program from a Full Service Discount Broker who works as a Seller’s Agent and offers you solutions to help you keep more of your equity when you sell your home or other real estate. The real estate industry is changing fast with new business models being introduced to meet today’s growing consumer demands for “Full Service for Less”. Of course there is also more choices for “less service for a lower fees”, and there will still be plenty of room for the old “Traditional -One Fee Fits All” concept for those that don’t mind paying more. But the Brokers and Agents associated with The Real Estate Savings Center believe that Full Service for Less will win out in the tough economy that will be with us for some time to come.  FYI – Sellers may prefer to use The MLS Search Engine linked to the Real Estate Saving Center set up for their area.
