Is the $995 refundable?
Sellers pay the $995 upfront at the signing of their listing. Then I go to work investing time and money into the marketing of their property. So, because of this, the $995 is non refundable. It is advisable to be sure that you really want to sell your property.

Am I really in control of my own listings?
Yes, you are. Blue Line Realty will help you determine an accurate selling price, but you can determine if you are going to play the market a little or not. While that tactic is not advisable, it is your property and therefore your option to put it on at whatever market price you like. Also, you will determine if and when any price reductions are needed. You are in control of your listing.

Do you have an Easy Out clause in your contracts?
Yes, we do. All of our contracts include, "This contract may be canceled by either party at any time for any reason." How's that for Easy Out?

Where can I see the details of the $995 listing without having to rollover them?

Once you have my $995 then what is your motivation to sell my property?

Great question. All property's have a payout to the buyers agent. This payout amount is typically 2.7% of the selling price of the property. Blue Line Realty, like other brokerages, would like to bring in the buyer for your property so that we would receive the 2.7%. So the motivation to sell your property is the payout on your property.

What happened to the 5% listing option?

Times are changing and equity is being stripped from sellers. Blue Line Realty decided to end high commissions and allow sellers to keep more of their equity. We have moved into the realm of being primarily an internet based real estate company. The internet is where your buyers will come from, statistics show.
