* We rebate up to half or more of our commission to you. That's typically a rebate of 1% to 1.5% of the purchase price.
* The rebate is typically a credit toward your closing costs and is done through escrow.
* The amount of the rebate depends on whether we need to meet you at properties to view them and how frequently. If you find a property on your own you'll get our best rate.
* We are very reasonable. It's easy to work with us. Call or e-mail us anytime with your questions.
* We make a 1% commission, or less, to sell your property.
* You typically pay the buyer's broker 2-2.5% depending on the property type and locale. We check the MLS for commissions based on property type (single family, multi-family, condominium) and zip code.
* We list your home on the MLS; the listing will be shown on all of the MLS sites in Southern California and on numerous web portals.
* We provide all the documents, disclosures, negotiations, information and assistance you need to close escrow.
* We hire professional photographers, host open houses, provide for sale signs and a Supra lock box that can only be accessed by agents.
* If you need less than a 1.0% commission to make a flip work, or if there are other considerations (high expected sale price, you can manage some or all of the viewing requests, we can install a Supra lock box, etc... ), ask us.

========================
Discount real estate brokers provide brokerage services for lower fees versus the traditional brokers that charge commission of 5-6% of the sale price. Discount real estate brokers might make a commission of around 1% or less to list or sell a home, and they often rebate a portion of the commission to buyers they represent. Seller still have to pay 2-2.5% commission to the buyer's broker, so overall commissions in a transaction with a discount broker might be around 3-3.5% versus 5-6% for a traditional full-pay broker. In the 1980s and 1990s brokers had a monopoly on the information people needed to make decisions regarding real estate transactions. In many locales buyers or sellers would have to go to a County Recorder's office to get information on past sales. But today buyers and sellers can make very informed decisions without a broker. They can get listings, sales history, open house schedules, school ratings and demographic information on the internet for free. Since the real estate business is now more client-centric than agent-centric the clients are realizing that the 5-6% commission structure is not realistic for today's market.
