An Easy Exit Listing Guarantee That Puts You In Control!
SOME MONEY SAVING ADVICE: Never sign a listing based on vague verbal promises. Some agents will tell you whatever you want to hear in an effort to get you to sign a listing. This also includes dropping their commission. Yes that’s right, dropping their commission that pays for their lifestyle, family and fee’s to survive in this and any economy.
Imagine what they do when it comes time to negotiate the sale of your home with this desperation to sell anything. You wouldn’t expect your doctor or lawyer to drop their fees for your business, real estate is an equally important service. It takes skill and training and knowledge of law to be a broker and sell homes in Oregon.
Traditionally, real estate agents have required home sellers to sign long term listing agreements… Unfortunately, many sellers found that after listing their homes, the promised advertising and marketing efforts did not occur. This is a key reason why home sellers are concerned about listing their home with brokers or their real estate company. How do you know that the company will uphold their promises? How do you know that you have an agent who fully understands the art of marketing and is skilled at attracting a steady stream of qualified, ready-to-buy buyers through your home? We add a bonus guarantee – communication on a regular basis every step of the way.
NEW PROGRAM: While a written agreement is necessary, there is no reason that you need to be locked into a long term listing. Our policy is to be your realtors for life, if you are unhappy we have not done our job. Risk and anxiety associated with listing your home can be eliminated, thanks to the Steve Ticknor Team’s Easy Exit listing.
Fire us if we aren’t doing the job you need done. The Easy Exit listing allows you to cancel your listing at any time, for any reason. If at any time you are not 100% satisfied with our marketing effort, you can exit from the listing just by calling us on the phone or sending us a letter. No hassle. No questions asked. We do ask for communication, an opportunity to fix something if possible. The Exceptions: If there is an offer pending, in Attorney Review or Fully Under Contract, the listing cannot be released. Also, broker protections as per the listing agreement continue to be in effect as explained on the listing agreement until such time as you re-list with another broker.
WARNING: If you decide to list your home with a real estate company, don't be tied up by a listing without specific, written, verifiable performance guarantees and an Easy Exit listing we proudly enforce. Your listing contract should state exactly and specifically what services and marketing the agent and company will do for you. How many showings every month and feedback reports? How many advertisements every month? Etc.
MOST IMPORTANT: Your listing contract should state that if the agent does not perform and produce results exactly as promised that you can cancel the listing, at no cost or further obligation to you. Without this protection clause, you are gambling with what may be your most valuable asset. We have met clients that were forced by other agents to pay or stay in their listing, that’s not right.
