Lake Norman News and Views
Oliver Hofmann and Ben Wirtz, both former Allen Tate real estate agents have united to form Estates And Condos Realty in Cornelius Lake Norman.
Disappointed by the inflexiblility of Allen Tate's structure and their low commission structure for their Realtors, they decided to leave the Allen Tate Company and implement a company policy where their Charlotte and Lake Norman real estate agents are able to earn 100% commission.
Oliver Hofmann and his Partner, Ben Wirtz, SBSSGBVP (don't ask) of Estates And Condos Realty give their agents the opportunity to negotiate their own listing commission, unlike the folks at Allen Tate.
Estates And Condos Realty is a full service real estate brokerage that offers discounted commissions to the sellers, while offering more than the traditional brokerage do!
Most consumers associate nothing good with discount brokerages. The fact is, the work is the same whether an agent sells a house for $60k or for $3Million. Why should he get paid so much more for the same work we asked ourselves and decided to start our brokerage giving sellers a brake on their commissions.
We take either 0.99% for a Lake Norman waterfront listing or 1.99% for a non waterfront home while still paying the full 3% to the co-operating broker who brings the buyer making it a total of 3.99% or 4.99% commission to you.
So why are you still paying 6% commission you might ask yourself?
Call Oliver at 1-888-321-LAKE or Ben at 1-888-88ESTATE to list your Lake Norman Real Estate.
We at Estates And Condos Realty have our own in house SEO (search engine marketing) expert who can get your home for sale to the top of Google within days. Who else can do this for your home?!
