35 Atlas did a great job removing my old driveway and installing a new one. They came out and gave a quote which was very reasonable. But to be sure I contacted another company who quoted me 3000 dollars more. I showed them the quote and then all of a sudden they could match it. I replied why...

Nice people! They were very nice. They actually were one of the few that figured out what was going on with my house, or at least helped me figured out. I told them what I thought and it ended up being that. There were very helpful, real nice, real nice.
Their spraying does a good job. It also keeps the wasps from building nests. We have had them treat the house for termites too several years ago, and they did an excellent job and we didn't have them come back at all. We have the same guy that comes every time, and he is great. He does a...
I am quite happy with them because they are real nice. I worked as an announcer on the radio and they were fans as well - our relationship has been one of mutual admiration. They do good work. I have a big pool and there?s also a Cabana pool house and so the motors and filters and things like...

The standard says home selling and home buying can be a stressful experience. I believe it can be a low stress and even enjoyable experience. My opinion is buying or selling your home is the most important decision you'll ever make. If you are buying that is where you live, laugh, cry and create memories. If you are selling you did all those things there and possibly for many years. I take my responsibilities very seriously and I will walk with you through the process and say goodbye or celebrate with you, depending on your situation.

Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.
Real estate agents work on commission, so the cost of hiring an agent will depend on the cost of the home you’re buying or selling. The listing contract should include information about the commission for both agents, which is usually 6 percent of the sale price in total or 3 percent per side. With an average national home value of around $440,000, the typical commission per agent is $13,200. However, you won’t pay this total out of pocket. Instead, the commission comes out of the sale price of the property.
Interviewing real estate agents is the best way to find the right person for the job. Consider asking the following questions to find the best agent for you:
How will you show my property?
Will you do open houses to market my home?
How will you handle dual agency (representing the buyer and you as the seller)?
Should I make repairs to my home before listing?
Will you get professional photos taken of my home?
What is the best price you think we can get for my property?
How long do you expect the sale to take?
You don’t legally need a real estate agent as a buyer, as you can represent yourself, but you should always hire an agent as a home buyer. A professional real estate agent will have access to local MLS services to find homes that meet your criteria and needs, can connect you with other professionals—like a mortgage broker and real estate attorney—you’ll need for the purchase, and can often negotiate a better price for your home to help save you money. Plus, as the buyer, your agent’s commission comes from the seller’s proceeds from the sale of the home.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
