Your Cheapest Option Could Be the Most Expensive

Everybody loves a “deal.” Some even brag about hiring the cheapest Realtor they could find.

But here’s the truth:

A cheap agent doesn’t negotiate you thousands off the price.

A cheap agent doesn’t unlock builder incentives or below-market rates.

A cheap agent doesn’t protect you from losing money in the fine print.

 Saving a little on commission can cost you tens of thousands on the biggest purchase of your life.

Same license. Different results.

--When asking for a cheaper commission percentage, which services do you not want?

What You Didn’t Ask / What They Didn’t Tell You You didn’t ask: “Can I negotiate more than just the price?” They didn’t tell you: Yes. Smart buyers also negotiate closing costs, home warranties, repairs, rate buydowns, and even appliances or furniture. The list price is just the beginning. The real savings often hide in the fine print. Just Jack – Trueblood Real Estate www.JustJack.Realtor 317-341-2474
