In the end, we decided to pass on the property-not because it was a deathtrap, but a potential money pit. We have been looking for a home in the Austin area for several months, and we had our hopes up that this was going to be the house for us...that wasn't snatched up by investors with deep pockets. On paper and in pictures, it looked great. But, on closer inspection by an experienced professional, it had many, many flaws. Aaron went through his report with me over the phone, and took about 25 minutes to explain his findings and to answer my questions. Aaron's inspection saved us from buying a potential money pit. THANK YOU! I wanted to use DBL Check for the inspection on the property we are currently trying to buy, but they do not serve Jarrell, TX. Too bad. They are a great company.

Assist 2 Sell charges a flat rate (based on the sales price of the home). This was around 40% of what a traditional agent would charge for a seller's fee. I was worried what I might be giving up by using a lower-priced service. The result was that we didn't give anything up. If anything, our experience was better. Jan was an experienced and professional agent who provided all the services I'm used to, just for less. We were also worried that, because Assist 2 Sell charged a flat fee, they may not be incentivized to sell our house for the best price. However, based on market data, Jan was forceful in recommending that we sell our house for a significantly higher price than we initially gauged it to be worth. We ended up listing it at a price higher than we had planned but still less than Jan recommended. Our house sold in less than a day which, to me, was validation of Jan's market analysis and recommendations. We've sold 5 homes, and this was by far the most smooth transaction. We ended up with ~25K more at closing than we expected. It's rare that you pay less than half the normal price for something and actually get better service...this was one of those rare experiences. I hope the real estate industry moves more broadly to this model. In the meantime, my advice would be to not be afraid to try this pricing structure out with an experience agent like Jan.

After refusing the low offer we ended up selling at much more than first offer, with multiple offers pending. We found our buyer through an online ad and found our new ranch on line. We were buying farm and ranch land and found we knew more about it than our realtor! Just be sure you read everything several times before signing as he is an expert at making sure Keller Williams gets the best deal even if it means you loses during the process. If we had it to do all over we would just get a lawyer and work with the title company. the title company will make sure everything is done right for the fora after and filing of deed? between a lawyer and a title company you will save money on the realtor service.

FAQs for real estate service projects in Granger, TX
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.
