Build A Real Estate Business You Can Be Proud Of

2008 brings a completely different real estate market to our industry. Innovation is absolutely the name of the game!! We can no long survive without developing the services our customers are demanding. That is why America-at-Home has designed a program that is timely and ground breaking for today's market.

Agents can now offer all the services their clients want. You can sell our flagship Flat Fee and Full Service products for immediate cash flow or you can design your own services and charge what ever you feel is fair. We do not restrict you in developing new and creative options for your clients. After all this is your business, we are just here to help you make it a success.

Our standard "Flat Fee"  listing sells for $575. This is the product that will create the opportunity for you to build a quick and easy cash flow business. Because your clients pay up front for their services, you are able to create a regular base income, something that is dearly missing in our current traditional industry. Additionally, many of your clients will want to upgrade their service as they see the need for more professional assistance in selling their home. They pay as they go which is not only extraordinarly fair to them, but profitable for you. You collect your fees as you perform the service. By working in this manner you are truly compensated for your time and expertise and not wasting your energy working and hoping to be paid should the property sell. In today's market it takes more work to sell a home than it did even last year. You deserve to be paid according to your efforts and skills and we know sellers don't mind paying well for those services. They just do not appreciate the old fashioned traditional way most agents have worked in the past.

For those clients who want a "Full Service" program where you not only list their property but fully represent them and see it through to closing they pay $1600 up front and 1/2% at closing. You will be able to help them through the entire transaction by reviewing their offers, negotiating for them, opening up escrow and title services all the way to closing. The majority of this work is done from your home office via telephone, fax and computer. Because this service is still enormously cash saving for the client we do not usually spend a great deal of time meeting with clients. Again, this type of efficiency offers you the opportunity to take on more clients than normal, thus offering them the best of your expertise without wasting a lot of time driving to meet them personally.

Finally, there are custom programs that you can create to suit each individual client and their particular needs. You and the client fix the fee or commissions to be paid. No need to ask our permission or get approval from some head office or managing broker. You charge whatever you and your client agree upon. This service is where you can really shine and show off your professional skills and build a long lasting business realationship with your clients. This is still a customer service business, however it should not be static. It is ever evolving as our markets change and become more efficient. You should be able to change at will with the market and not be held captive by a real estate broker or management department. We are all independent business people working in a field we love and feel passionately about. Our customers need us. We are valuable to them and they know it. They just need to be respected for their intelligence and offered options. Once you build a good working relationship with your clients on terms you can both be happy with you will see your referrals multiply. This is the way to build a strong, lasting consulting business.

Please call us for a personal telephone discussion to see how America-at-Home can help you develop a secure, grounded and permanent real estate business.

Sincerely,
