About Us-Breaking the Mold LeaveYourAgent.com was started with the belief that people can buy or sell their house without the help of a Realtor. We believe that by building a community of home buyers and sellers, builders, lawyers, and more, that we can help one another and save money.
Other industries have been saving people money for years by cutting out the middleman. We think it’s time that real estate does the same. We like to compare real estate to the stock market. Some people are intimidated by the stock market and prefer the services of a full service stock brokerage (i.e. real estate brokerage) and some prefer to do it themselves and save money by using a discount brokerage (i.e. LeaveYourAgent.com). Either way is fine, but we believe that there should be options other than your local real estate agent. It was this belief that drove us to design a site that helps you cut out the middleman’s job. What is that job? In a word, marketing. We provide you with the ability to market using the best medium: the internet. We also give you tools that help simplify the process so that you can be confident in selling or buying your own home. Why would you want to do it yourself and not hire an agent? It’s simple, Money! A typical real estate commission is 6%. That means if you’re selling a $500,000 home you’re going to pay an agent $30,000 to sell your home! That would furnish your new home. What do most people get for $30,000? A sign placed on your lawn, some help with the purchase contract, a listing on the MLS and not much else. You can buy signs anywhere, a lawyer will help you with any contracts for a small fee (you can also get contracts from our partners), and we can do the advertising for you. By doing it yourself you’ll save thousands of dollars, and it’s not that hard. What do you get by working with us? - Marketing: your own web page that allows you to show off your home, exposure to major search engines like Google, MSN, Yahoo, and more.
- Calculators to help with rent or buy decisions, fixed-rate loan payments, balloon loan payments, etc.
- Checklists to make sure you don’t forget anything.
- Tips to help you sell your home faster, get more money, and make sure everything goes smoothly
- Affiliates who can provide you with services like title insurance, mortgage loans, contracts, legal services, painting, landscaping, and much more.
- Save money! A 6% real estate commission on a $400,000 home is $24,000! You could furnish your entire house for this much.
What do you get when you work with a real estate agent? - Basically the same thing we offer, plus trips to see houses in their nice BMW that you paid for.
Since we both offer pretty much the same thing, but at different prices (ours is free, theirs is 6%), the question becomes “Why shouldn’t I?” instead of “Why should I?” So be a part of the evolution of real estate and Leave Your Agent today! contact us at info(at)LeaveYourAgent.com |
