Valu-net Realty is proud to be one of southern Indiana's first Fee-For-Service real estate brokerages. Our mission is to save you, the homeowner, as much of the equity you have built up in your home as possible when it's time to sell.
Traditional national franchise brokerages charge sellers a large
percentage commission (typically 7%) plus additional document handling
fees once the seller's home is sold. These brokerages rationalize
their large fees because they buy large advertising spots. But how
effective is this advertising? Today, 85% of home buyers begin their
search on the internet, not the newspaper or television. Most
buyers are either viewing their local MLS (multiple listing service)
database or searching REALTOR.com®, Zillow®, or Trulia®. Exposure in
these web sites dramatically increases the marketability of one's home.
Large splashy print ads in newspapers that few still subscribe to are just
no longer necessary.
Unbundling the typical services that a real estate broker performs and
then charging only for those services allows the homeowner to save
thousands of dollars. Valu-net Realty is ready to serve you (and only
charge you) for the Realty and marketing services you need. With
Valu-net Realty you can choose to list your home on the local MLS and on
80 other real estate web sites across the internet for as little as $169.
Then, if a REALTOR® sells your home you will only pay typically about ˝ of
the standard commission. And if you sell your home yourself you will
pay NO commission!
This
is truly a revolutionary new way to market your home… BUT, you must talk
to us first... if you sign a listing contract with a traditional broker,
you are typically obliged to only working with them for a period of 6
months AND you will likely give up the right to sell your home yourself!
