This site is for those people who like to think ‘long term’, who are somewhat flexible, who like the idea of seeking out and lining up potential buyers ahead of time, who have the confidence to successfully negotiate a private sale on their own terms – and most importantly – to save thousands of dollars in real estate commissions. You have the luxury of time on your side.
OK, perhaps the best way to explain this site is give you an example.
Farmer Smith is 53 and knows he'll be retiring once he can collect his senior's pension in 7-8 years. He had 3 farms to sell totalling over $800,000 in value. Listing with a real estate agent, he could be facing fees of about $40,000.00. He and his wife would like to move back to his home town 100 miles away. So he lists his properties here - and waits. Meanwhile, a farmer down the road has had his eye on Mr. Smith's farms for a long time. He found it while searching for available properties on this site (for free). He contacts Mr. Smith through us. A few years later, farmer Smith contacts his neighbour back as says "let's talk". They successfully negotiate the deal and Mr. Smith pockets the $40,000.00 he would otherwise forked over to a real estate agent. And by the way, the buyer could have been from half a world away - potential buyers could be from anywhere on the planet. The internet is amazing, isn't it ? Oh, and did I mention that the Smith's found a perfect one-storey bungalow to retire to in their home town, right here on this site ? The seller split the fees with them, just to sweeten the deal.
Yes, of course. Nothing is final until all the legal documents are signed between yourself and the buyer – using a lawyer, of course.
Well, it’s completely up to you. If you’re comfortable with waiting until 6 to 12 months before you want to sell – that’s your call. But ideally, we recommend giving yourself 2 to 5 years. After all, why not let time work for you ?
Yes, certainly, but just remember the real advantage of this site is using time, which may be short in your case.
Yes, absolutely – to formalize the sale and transfer the deed.
You could lose the $79 registration fee you paid to sign on with us (note: the first 1000 clients can register for no charge).
Well, the hardest part of selling your home, farm, cottage, business or vacant lot is to find a potential buyer. If you can find one, or two, or three by using our site, then the rest (negotiating and finalizing the deal) is up to you.
The 'full-suite' of real estate agent's fees can be 4, 5, or 6% of the value of your property. Example - $300,000.00 home = $15,000.00 in fees at 5%. Even their 'buffet' of a few minor services can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.
Yes, that’s true. But have you checked out their still-outrageous fee structures ??
You’re welcome to use our site, if you wish, but if you’re in a hurry, we suggest you contact a reputable and hard-working real estate agent as soon as possible. And pay their going rates.
Well, after all – you do most of the work. We just provide a platform for you to let others know what could be sale at some point in the future.
Yes, of course. But it's not that easy. And people need to search and find it to be effective. This site gives you a ready-to-use platform and for our first 1000 clients, is free. Subsequently, even at $79 for a one-time-only fee, you can easily upload photos and input a detailed description of your property in less than an hour. And it's visible to thousands of potential buyers - immediately.
No.
