Hourly Rates

Hourly rates make sense in a sizzling market; your home is in a desirable location, in great condition and in the right price range. Your home will sell itself as many do in Northern Virginia. You choose this SmartChoice™ way to pay for representation and you can save thousands over commissions or fixed fees. We don't need any other part of the transaction as some brokers do when they discount fees.

Not convinced? Consider this scenario:

A Northern Virginia property goes on the market on Friday evening.
There are 10 showings on Saturday.
By Sunday, six contract offers are in hand.
The sellers accept the highest offer with the least contingency and the best loan qualification at 15% over the asking price.
Closed in 30 days.

This is exactly the case in April and May of 2004. In these markets we just don't have to work as hard. The right property will sell itself.

In markets like this, it just makes sense to recommend that our selling clients simply pay us an hourly fee to represent them, as there is little to no pre-contract marketing activity of the home. And, in many instances, post contract activity goes smoothly.

Bottom line: we help you keep more of your equity.

That is why it's important to engage a real estate advisor that remains in touch with all market conditions. If you would like to take a first hand look at our alternative SmartPlan™ services and what we can do for you, please contact us for a complimentary consultation.

You have nothing to lose. In fact: You Win! By understanding the alternatives available to you.
