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."
