Selling Real Estate BY THE HOUR sure beats doing things the old fashioned way which is also the more expensive way....
We have always been a little different and marched to the beat of a drummer that many say they can't hear. But that's okay, because being different, trying to invent a better mousetrap, irreverence for the status quo, thinking outside of the box, being told you can't do it, even failure (think of Thomas Edison) are all hallmarks of every great American success story.
Well our most recent innovation and attempt to spit in the eye of the status quo establishment real estate sales model is to strip away the traditional 6% sales commission that nearly every agent expects home sellers to blindly agree to... only because that's the way it has always been done. WHAT IF, a home seller was given the choice between paying the old fashioned 6% sale commission (based on California's current median sales price that would be approximately $29,400) OR paying a licensed Realtor BY THE HOUR for only what they needed and for only the time actually worked??? Nothing more and nothing less???
Our little upstart real estate division On The Clock Realty is doing just that. We are listing and selling homes for our clients, charging them $99 per hour, billing them for only the hours and work they actually need (average listing takes between 35 - 45 total hours), and letting our sellers keep the difference.
Saving the average median priced California home seller nearly $25,000 IS HUGE!!! That savings is college tuition for the kids, a new car for mom, a head start on retirement for dad, debt elimination, or a much needed family vacation. The point is, why pay the extra money in commission to the tired old status quo agent and let that money go to his or her vacation, kids college tuition, retirement savings, etc??? I can't think of one good reason!
I am not asking you to believe that hiring On The Clock Realty as your Realtor BY THE HOUR is best for everyone. Every situation is different. The point of this blog is just to alert you to the fact that there is an alternative route that most home sellers don't even know exists. So when in the market to sell property, why not look into the road less traveled? You may find that it is the road best traveled. There is a lot of info on our website; www.OnTheClockRealty.com, we have live agents available 24 hours at 760-321-6569, or contact James Udall directly at 760-250-1986 by phone or text. We will gladly explain our program in greater detail and answer any questions that you have.
We truly believe that if given the choice that you too will decide that hourly based real estate sales (although new sounding) really makes perfect sense and is worth being given the opportunity to earn your current and future business. This concept may outrage some status quo dinosaurs out there... but that's okay. I am sure that Thomas Edison outraged his share of candle makers too and...
that put's me in good company indeed. Thank you for your time.
