Birkdale and Birkdale Village Real Estate, Is Everything Negotiable?

First let me start off by saying that Real Living In Style is NOT a discount brokerage. There is a difference in the service that you get. As the cliche' states, you get what you pay for.

Since I am not and never have been a discount brokerage, I can only state what I have been told so everyone has to make their own decisions. However, there is a difference in the amount of service you do and do not get.

I could make a long list of extra things I do and have done for my clients that I feel very sure that someone stating they are not full service would do.

For example, I am representing a young couple of the purchase of their first home. The negotiations have gone back and forth to the point it seems there might be a stalemate. The other agent called me and asked me if I would be willing to cut my commissions if they would to make this happen. I did not hesitate to say yes. I am open to those negotiations because I would never stand in the way of helping a client buy or sell a home.

Is that the same the same as a discount broker. Absolutely not. My service remains the same throughout the entire process. There is something called Fiduciary responsibility to my clients that I take seriously.

I will do what I need to get a home sold. So, the answer is YES the the question.

However, I also have a family to feed. I am a professional and I work hard for my clients. People would never ask their doctor to take less for what he does so why would someone think I am not deserving and should take less?

Let me do everything I can to get the best deal done but don't slight it because you think I don't work hard. Good Real Estate Brokers work their tales off for their clients and if they don't they should not be your agent.

While this might seem to be contradicting let me put it this way. Don't ask Realtors to take less money so you can make more. Let us use everything at our disposal to negotiate the best possible deal possible.
