Be sure to ask your realtor about admin fees, team fees, transaction fees
This is my first post and this is the first thing that came to mind. I see so many real estate companies charging admin fees, transaction fees etc. to their clients. Is the commission not enough?? Just so we are clear you hire a Realtor that you pay a very good commission to and then they charge you MORE money??? I worked at a company that started charging those fees to buyers and sellers. I decided to move to a company that charges no fees to their clients because it SAVES YOU MONEY.
I hear so many real estate companies say "that the transaction fee is the cost of doing business."
Let me tell you it is not the cost of doing business. The cost of doing business is hiring a Realtor that represents your best interests for the commission you pay them to do the job. I have ads every week in the paper for my clients. I have all the things at my disposal the other companies have I just do not charge you extra for them.
It is very simple, all Realtors charge a commission(that is how my family eats). However, what is not known UNTIL you are signing your listing agreement or buyers agent agreement is that most real estate companies will charge you anywhere from 250.00-500.00 in fees that go to the real estate company.
So in closing so we are clear-
Three Rivers Real Estate charges NO TRANSACTION FEES, ADMIN FEES etc.
It is my goal to represent your best interests at the lowest price possible to my client.
Each week I will write about things I believe the public needs to be made aware of in real estate.
