Did You Know?

All Real Estate Companies (Discount and Traditional) use the SAME Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to list properties.

AND...

All Real Estate Agents who are REALTORS® are REQUIRED to be a member of the National Association of Realtors and make a commitment to adhere to a strict Code of Ethics, which is based on professionalism and protection of the public. ¹

I have seen countless numbers of our competitors sites warning people about Discount Real Estate Brokers.  Here are some of the "facts" they would have you believe:

• You won't get Full service

• You get Random Advertising

• You won't get experienced agents

• They warn you to read the fine print

• Discount Real Estate Brokerage fees are a'la carte

• Discount Real Estate Brokerages won't stay around

• Traditional Real Estate Companies give you more.

• “Full service for less” = discounting the quality of services you receive

"Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." ²

NOW lets look at some real facts and dispel the rumors and myths.  By the way, these are third party facts; not our opinions or our competitors!  The proof is in the results! ³

• The Code of Ethics is a promise—as a customer of a REALTOR®, you can expect honest and ethical treatment in all transaction-related matters. It is mandatory for ALL REALTORS® to take the Code of Ethics orientation and they are also required to complete a refresher course every four years.

We appreciate all the attention the traditional agencies have given us. Allow us to recommend a couple of smart ideas to base your decisions on:

• Don't listen to us or the competition - do your own homework. Check with the Maryland Real Estate Commission, the Better Business Bureau, or whatever third party source you choose.

• Ask former and present clients their opinions and testimonials

• Ask the Real Estate company your planning to use exactly what services you'll receive for the commission fees they're charging.

• Bring us ANY competitors proposal including fees, advertising, and marketing commitments and compare it to the services we offer.

• We didn't get to be Number 1 by accident.

• It's YOUR equity, shouldn't it stay that way.

Call us today, email us today, request an at home visit or come visit our office and let us show you what Real Estate services we provide and make an informed decision for yourself.  You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.  It's your money and we want to help you keep it that way.
