New Trend Shows Home Sellers Looking to Save on Real Estate Services

Before the information superhighway and the recent economic woes, homeowners looked to REALTORS® for every aspect of the home selling process. With less disposable income and home prices dropping, sellers have neither the cash nor the mood to pay for any unneeded services when it comes to selling their houses.

The answer for many sellers needing to sell their homes with less out of pocket will be to sell on their own with just a few key services from their chosen real estate agent. Most sellers are aware of the primary marketing tool of being listed on the local Multiple Listing Service system (MLS). This allows the vast majority of area REALTORS® to see the details, pricing and pictures of the house when searching available homes for a potential buyer. This is one of several services that help expedite a home sale and can be found at http://www.AssistingTexasFSBO.com.

Most "big box" brokerages do not offer a la carte services where consumers can pick and choose which services they feel are right for them. The only other option is to pay a full commission, which can hit sellers hard in the pocketbook at a time when conservative spending is becoming the norm.

"In June of 2008 we listed our Plano home with Gina and Tom Branch of Realty Revolution LLC. They offer a wide variety of plans and programs to support any seller. After only six days on the market and several showings, we had the property under contract as well as a back-up offer. We highly recommend them based on results and their impressive client-focused service," said Todd Friedman, Plano seller relocating to Florida.

The North Texas Real Estate Information System (NTREIS) provides MLS services to the greater north Texas area. NTREIS recently expanded to include the Abilene area in its MLS system. As a result, Realty Revolution is expanding from DFW into the Abilene market offering a la carte real estate services for sellers in Abilene. Future expansion plans include the Austin and Houston markets.

"We want to help those consumers across the state who need to sell and are strapped for cash," said Tom Branch, co-owner and Broker of Realty Revolution based in Plano. "These are often people trying to avoid foreclosure and may not have enough equity to offset the costs of a traditional transaction. While we provide full-service listings and full-service buyer's representation, these economic times call for creative solutions to help those in need."
