How much would you pay me to have an office?

Would you pay me as much as you pay other real estate brokers if I had an office?

If I rented an office, would you help pay the rent? If I owned the office, would you help me pay the mortgage? The utilities? The property tax? The insurance? The maintenance? The yard work? The secretary? Would you pay to sit in my chairs, or my sofa? Would you help pay for my conference table?

What if, on the other hand, I had none of the above expenses, but could provide you with the level of service you want at practically no cost to myself? What if we sat at my dining table, or yours, to go over documents? What if my low operating costs enabled me to adjust my fees accordingly?

What if I put your listed property on my three real estate search sites on the Internet? What if I created a web page just for your listing on the Internet with links to it on my websites -- websites that get hundreds of visits every month?

What if I syndicated your listed property to more than 40 real estate search sites on the Internet -- many more than other brokers provide?

If I provided all of the above amenities and services without the expense of an office, would you still want me to have one? What if I could do it all at a lower cost -- to me and to you? Would you be interested?

What? Your real estate agent isn't doing this for you?

Real estate Seller, when your agent, himself or herself, procures the buyer for your property, and there's no second company taking half of the sales commission, will your agent reduce the commission to 4 percent? No?

Is your agent providing a one-year home warranty at his or her own expense as an incentive to a buyer to buy your home? No?

Real estate Buyer, is your agent giving you, as a thank-you gift, a home warranty covering the major systems in your home for your first year of ownership? So if the roof starts leaking or the air conditioner conks out, you can get it fixed by paying a one-time service fee, usually $100 or less? No?

Did your agent get a letter of pre-approval from your mortgage lender that will give your offer VIP treatment with a seller, and give you an advantage over buyers without a pre-approval letter? No?

If you're a real estate buyer or seller, and you answered no to any of these questions, you should talk to Michael Dixon. Michael provides full service, just like the "big" guys, but he offers buyer and seller incentives they don't.
