Sunday December 2, 2007

I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didnt hurt.  The words of Kris Kristofferson from the song Sunday Morning Coming Down.  We woke up this morning feeling great!  Hope you did too. 

There was an article in the Sunday LA Times real estate section about using discount real estate brokers.  These are companies that will list your house for a discounted fee.  Interesting article for sure but before you do business with a discount broker do a little research. 

We are not discount brokers and all commissions are negotiable and we have negotiated.   The best analogy we can come up with is this  If you need a doctor or lawyer do you go to the cheapest you can find  Your house may be the greatest investment you can make; you owe it to yourself to be represented by the best. 

Good brokers earn their keep.  In todays market, we believe you cant afford to experiment with real estate professionals.  Offers on houses are few and far between; were not sure if now is the time to go for a discount broker. 

Have a great Sunday and if youre out looking today, go back to yesterdays blog entry and check out our open house guide.
