Simple answer: No
As a small agency in Canberra it becomes very frustrating when our clients are continually told by other agencies that by choosing us, a low cost agency they will get a lower selling price. We have proven time and time again that this is not the case and not only do we equal the average selling price for comparable homes in a suburb but regularly better it. Here is one of our recent clients experience:
“Before we decided to use Karene as our agent we had 2 of the major real estate companies come through our house for a valuation and quotation. The first came back with $360k - $380k with a $15k commission fee. Best case scenario with them was $365k in our account. The second came back with $370k - $390k with $12k commission. The best case scenario was $378k in our account.
Then Karene came along and at first we were a bit hesitant, just due to the fact that it was only 0.8% commission, which was A LOT cheaper and provided more (professional photographer, third party valuation etc). After speaking with Karene we got the vibe that she was a very honest person (hard to find when it comes to agents) and we couldn’t be happier when she more than lived up to our expectations and got us $410k with only $3,280 in commission, which is $406,720 in our account. It took only 2 open houses.”
