Additional Sellers Thoughts * Is the company you are dealing with an actual real estate company in your state? Many of the Flat Fee internet companies are advertising companies. Often they will give you generic answers to your questions. This is useless. You need specifics with your state. * Is the company your dealing with dedicated to that business? Many Flat Fee or discount brokers are using this as a lead loss tool, then later when the seller is discouraged tries to upgrade to a traditional full service. If you do choose the discount route, you want to make it a good attempt. Feel good about the fact that you exhausted all attempts to save as much money as possible before handing the transaction over to a traditional full service realtor. * Is the flat fee or discount real estate company open 7 days a week? * Is the flat fee or discount real estate company full-time? It is critical that you get full-time service. * I wish to emphasize the final seller point made by Jessica. Make sure you check with the state licensing to confirm the broker or agent is in good standing. Thank you for the excellent blog.
