COOPERATIVE COMPENSATION

THE FIRST QUESTION IS NEARLY ALWAYS – “WHAT DO YOU CHARGE?”

OF COURSE, AN IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR BOTH OF US, IT WILL DETERMINE HOW MUCH MONEY GOES IN BOTH OURS POCKETS! 

OUR COMPENSATION IS NEGOTIABLE AND RANGES FROM FLAT FEE OF TO %. 

WHAT OR WHO DETERMINES THAT COMPENSATION?

COMPLETELY DICTATED BY … THE COST TO KEEP MY DOORS OPEN! WHAT IS NEGOTIABLE IS SOLELY BASED ON MY COST OF DOING BUSINESS. 

IN NORTHEAST WYOMING, CROOK COUNTY, MANY OF THE PROPERTIES HAVE AND AVERAGE LENGTH ON MARKET OF 1 OR 2 YEARS, SOMETIMES MORE. WHY? SW FLORIDA MARKET IS SIMILAR TO A RIDE OF THE THRILL RIDES AND ROLLER COASTERS AT BUSCH GARDENS.

THE BIGGEST FACTOR IS PRICE. HOW BIG IS THE NET THAT CAPTURES BUYERS? HOW MANY CAN AFFORD IT?

SECOND IS DESIRABILITY.  HOW MANY IN THE GROUP THAT CAN AFFORD IT WILL YOUR PROPERTY FIT THEIR CRITERIA?

BEHIND THAT… MARKET VALUE. OF THOSE THAT CAN AFFORD IT, AND WANT IT, HAS YOUR PRICE DESTABILIZED DUE TO UNDERSELLING OF LIKE PROPERTIES BY UNKNOWING OWNER (NUMBER ONE CAUSE), OR UNKNOWLEDGEABLE REALTORS (NUMBER TWO). FORECLOSURES AND DISTRESSED SALES CAN BE JUSTIFIED, BUT MARKET IMPACTS BY LACK OF KNOWLEDGE CAN NOT.

IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT, IT IS A DESIRABLE PROPERTY, AND NO ONE HAS SKEWED VALUES WITH UNDER-MARKET SALES, THE MOON AND STARS STILL HAVE TO ALIGN FOR A BUYER TO WANT TO BUY!

WE DO NOT SIGN EVERY PROPERTY WE ARE ASKED TO SELL, WE DO NOT TAKE ON OVER PRICED PROPERTIES THAT ARE UNABLE TO BE SOLD (MOST COMMON ACCESS ISSUES) OR PROPERTIES WE CAN NOT FULLY SERVICE (SUCH AS PRESENT FOR ALL SHOWINGS).

IF YOU BELIEVE ANYTHING, BELIEVE THIS…

WE ARE SPENDING OUR MONEY TO ADVERTISE YOUR PROPERTY! NO ONE IS MORE MOTIVATED TO SELL THAN WE ARE, AS IT IS OUR INVESTMENT IN YOUR PROPERTY. WHEN WE ARE NOT SELLING, ALL WE ARE DOING IS SPENDING. YOUR LOYALTY IS ESSENTIAL TO OUR ABILITY TO STAY IN BUSINESS. THE COST OF BEING IN THIS BUSINESS IN THIS RURAL, LOW POPULATED AREA HAS A HIGHER COST TO RETURN THAN IN A “BIGGER” AREA WITH SUBSTANTIAL INDUSTRY, GROWTH AND POPULATION INCREASES. 

WE HAVE CHOSEN TO SERVE THIS AREA TO MAINTAIN A STABLE INCREASING REAL ESTATE MARKET, AS LOCALS, WITH HOME OWNERSHIP HERE, PAYING TAXES HERE, VOTING HERE, SHOPPING HERE AND SUPPORTING LOCAL FUNCTIONS. WE HOPE YOU REALIZE OUR CHOICE CAME AT THE PRICE OF INCREASED INCOME AND STAYING WITH THE HOME TOWN TEAM KEEPS MONEY LOCAL.

WE BELONG TO A MULTI LIST SERVICE WHICH NO LONGER REQUIRES OFFERING COMPENSATION TO OTHER REALTORS. THIS CONVERSATION MUST TAKE PLACE WHEN WE LIST YOUR PROPERTY TO DETERMINE YOUR MOTIVATION AND PERSPECTIVE TO BRING THE MOST QUALIFIED BUYERS. WE AIM TO GET IT SOLD! THIS SYNDICATES TO SEVERAL OTHER PLATFORMS AND REACHES OUT TO THOSE SEEKING TO RELOCATE HERE. AS WELL OUR HIGH TRAFFIC WORLD WIDE RECOGNIZED WITH ANNUAL TRAFFIC COUNTS EXCEEDING 8,000,000. AS WELL AS A HIGH TRAFFIC NATIONAL SITE AND ANY OTHER SITES, PERIODICALS, NEWSPAPERS AS OUR TRACKING REFLECTS INTEREST. OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU IS TO GET IT SOLD AS TIMELY AS THE GOOD LORD IS WILLING.

THIS COMPENSATION IS BASED ON OUR ANTICIPATION OF LENGTH OF TIME ON THE MARKET AND ACTUAL TIME ON MARKET. THIS COMPENSATION AT YOUR CHOICE IS OFFERED AND IS PAID BY US FROM THE PROCEEDS OF OUR COMPENSATION. THIS VALUE RECOMMENDATION BEGINS AT A PORTION OF FEE/%, IF THE PROPERTY IS ON THE MARKET MORE THAN ONE YEAR, WE MAY DECREASE SAID OFFERING FEE/%. THAT WILL KEEP OUR DOORS OPEN, MONEY LOCAL AND CONTINUING TO ENCOURAGE A FAST BUCK TO OTHER REALTORS BRINGING A BUYER. WE WILL ADVISE YOU ON THE PITFALLS AND ADVANTAGES OF OFFERING COMPENSATION AND NOT OFFERING COMPENSATION TO BUYERS AGENTS.
