The real estate sales industry has changed dramatically since the early 90’s when the Sonoma County Multiple Listing Service still disbursed property data via a book that was hand delivered monthly to local brokerages. Now personal computers and the Internet put property information within easy reach of the public within moments of its release. Yet traditional real estate brokerages continue to operate essentially the same ― spending tremendous amounts on image marketing through storefront office locations, freeway billboards, and expensive corporate ad campaigns― rather than working from virtual offices and passing the benefits that could be realized from this technological revolution on to consumers in the form of reduced commissions or more conscientious marketing practices. ASK Realty offers an innovative client-driven approach to real estate sales, operating at optimal efficiency with minimal overhead and without need for frivolous marketing expense. ASK offers genuine buyer representation and first time buyer rebates. And, when listing a property for sale, the ASK approach to commission setting takes into consideration the attributes of the property and the challenges of the selling project as a whole. The commission for selling a particular property is based on its characteristics and the seller’s willingness to participate in the most essential marketing activity of all ― preparing the property to be seen and inspected by buyers and their agents. The commission for seller representation is determined only after visiting the property and meeting with the seller. This is described in more detail at How I Work With Sellers under the heading For Sellers .
Being a truly independent broker, I can also offer innovative services For Buyers .
As a sole proprietor, I am in a unique position to offer genuine single agency representation (meaning representing only the buyer or only the seller in a given transaction). Since I’m not affiliated with a large brokerage, as your buyer’s representative, there is no risk of our relationship suddenly being diluted ― you needn’t be concerned that I might suddenly be prohibited from speaking candidly about a property because its seller chose to list it with an agent in my office. I am also free to enter into exclusive buyers’ representative agreements ― in which the buyer agrees to be responsible for my commission (if not available from the seller, as might happen with a ‘For Sale by Owner’ property) and I agree to pursue locating properties not listed in the multiple listing service. Find out more at How I Work with Buyers .
Bottom line: ASK offers the exclusive, one-on-one, services of an experienced agent with highly developed marketing, negotiation, and transaction management skills, who is committed to personally managing the purchase or sale process from beginning to end. Your best interest and well-being is always the primary principle guiding the transaction. Innovation, Virtual Office, Marketing with a Message, Flexibility, Getting More For Less Questions?
