WHY SHOULD I DO BUSINESS WITH A SMALLER REAL
ESTATE COMPANY?
You've probably heard advertising about how a big real estate
company may have offices in more cities and may have sold more
real estate than anyone else, but have you heard of the
advantages in working with a smaller company?
Real
Estate companies that are on the Multiple Listing System (MLS)
buy and sell the same way regardless of the size of the company.
The
MLS is the best place to advertise your properties for sale and
the MLS is the best place to view all of the available
properties. Advertising can help to sell properties,
however the majority of all sales are the direct result of
properties advertised on the MLS.
If
you are using a smaller Real Estate company that is MLS based,
you may fare no better with a larger MLS based
company.
Here's why:
A
smaller Real Estate company generally places more value on each
listing and purchase business because it represents a
greater value of the total income of their business. This
additional motivation may likely mean that the agent and broker of a smaller Real Estate
company will spend greater efforts to insure the success of
their clients.
Smaller Real Estate companies generally have less overhead and
this usually means fewer employees, reduced expenses and reduced
maintenance.
Fewer
expenses can translate into less cost for the clients of the
company. The clients and customers pay for the larger brick
and mortar company when commission fees are collected at their
closing tables.
Brokers maintaining smaller companies with fewer agents
generally have more time to work with their agents on a personal
level during contract generation and negotiations.
Brokers of all companies have access to the same market
information and pricing guidelines regardless of the size of the
company.
All
Real Estate Brokers are held accountable to the same ethical
regulations and must operate under the same laws, regardless of
the size of the company.
A
smaller Real Estate company with fewer agents and brokers
generally means that clients can get access to the top person in
the company whenever necessary.
