Would you, the seller, split the commission with me?

If you list your house for sale with me, when it sells would you split the commission with me?

No, that's not a trick question. Let's say you list your house with me, and you offer to pay a 6 percent commission. But, let's say, I come up with the buyer myself, and don't need to split the commission 50-50 with another company. What if I split it with you instead? I'll take 3 percent of the selling price, and let you keep the other 3 percent.

You would get full service. No corners cut. I would bring 18 years of experience in the local real estate market to you as my client. Would you be interested in saving half of the commission?

Here are some other advantages you'll get from Michael Dixon Realty:

Your house will get its own unique page on the Internet. It will stand alone with no competition from other properties on that page.

Your house will be covered by a home warranty* for your buyer's first year of ownership -- a buyer's incentive, free from me.

Your house will have a virtual tour on one of my real estate websites and photos on all of my websites as well as the Multiple Listing Service.

Your house will be featured on all 4 of my websites and syndicated to 40 Internet search sites such as Trulia, Zillow, Realtor.com.

These are everyday advantages of a Michael Dixon Realty listing in addition to the possibility of paying a lower commission. My low operating costs make it possible for me to share the savings with my clients.

What about that asterisk (*) above? I provide a one-year home warranty for a property that sells for $85,000 or more. If a buyer prefers a Lowe's gift card valued at $400, I will happily give the buyer that choice. It's my way of saying, "Thank you for doing business with me."

There's a reason why my company's slogan is: "This Is Real Estate Today."

Which is the biggest real estate company in Americus, Ga.?

Which is the largest real estate company in Americus, Ga.? Well, it's not Michael Dixon Realty -- unless you consider this:

While my company is not the largest in terms of the number of agents, secretaries, franchise fees, mortgage or rent payments, insurance, property taxes, building and grounds maintenance, equipment and supplies, or any of those operating costs, mine is the largest in one very important way: Internet exposure.

When you list your property with Michael Dixon Realty, it is posted out there on the world wide web in more places than other companies provide, thus giving it maximum exposure in the very place that the majority of people look first to find real estate -- the Internet.

A listing with Michael Dixon Realty is placed on his three real estate websites, and is syndicated to more than 40 real estate search sites on the Internet. Anyone, anywhere in the world with a computer, looking for real estate in Americus, Ellaville, Sumter or Schley or surrounding counties is able to find your listing quickly and easily.

Like the other companies, Michael Dixon Realty puts your listing in our Americus Area Multiple Listing Service (MLS). From there it is automatically picked up by Realtor.com, the huge search site of the National Association of Realtors. Eventually, it may show up on Yahoo, Zillow, Trulia, and other major search sites. When Michael lists your property he immediately syndicates it to 40+ real estate search sites on the Internet.

No, I don't have the largest company, the highest operating costs, or the highest commissions in town, but I offer the same full service.

Not only that, but as a way of saying "thank you" to buyers who work with me, I give them a home warranty on their house that costs $85,000 or more. Or, if they prefer, a Lowe's gift card valued at $400. I appreciate my customers.
