HOW WE COMPARE REAL ESTATE AGENTS & COMPANIES
If real estate agents or companies don't meet our stringent criteria, they don't get short listed or referred. It's that simple.
Process: We assess and compare agent competence using a comprehensive criteria that includes over 20 indicators across four categories. We know it works.
Timeliness: Whenever possible and if urgency is required, we aim to have the short listing process completed and real estate agents referred to you the same day you request our service.
Disclosure: You will be advised why particular companies and agents have been short listed and referred.
Questions to Ask: We then send you the Real Estate Agent Questionnaire to help you compare well, the agents you interview.
Comparison: In addition to comparing agents, you can compare their appraisals, fees and the services they offer, to determine the best match for you, your property type and location.
Commission: We can offer guidance about how to negotiate real estate commission with estate agents.
Resources: You will receive guides about signing a listing agreement with an agency and a sale and purchase agreement with a buyer plus everything in between.
Independence: We do not have any affiliation with any real estate companies being 100% independent of all buying and selling brands and do not receive any subscriptions.
