Can anyone predict the direction of real estate?








Wow, within the last two weeks there has been an awakening of sorts........consumers and "Realtors" alike are talking about flat rate real estate. Inquiries about how,what and where have been non-stop...I think it all has to do with this realization that "times" have been forever changed. This recession that we are in has fueled a "common sense" attitude,......an attitude that fell to the waste side because "we" needed more,more,more!!!

So now there is a desire for simplicity and renewal. Consumers are absorbing all the information they can in order to save money, but with a need to save money comes uncertainty. Is it really a good deal? Is it well made? Is it for real? Will it do the job? How much am I saving????........

All of these questions can be answered at the click of a mouse........the consumer is in charge....as they have always been, but now they have reliable information when they need it and where they need it.

Cash for clunkers $4,500
1st time homebuyer $8,000 rebate
and coming soooon an "appliance rebate"

All of this solidifies the flat rate realty concept. List for a flat rate then buy and get a rebate! The money you save......... "Priceless"!

Are you still in denial ? Just "Google" most any "blue chip" real estate company and the words "flat fee" or "flat rate" and you will see plenty of "REALTORS" using this consumer friendly way of conducting business.

Flat Fee Real Estate is the only way you get to keep your $8,000 rebate check


MediaOne of Utah has launched MediaOne Real Estate, a full-service licensed brokerage, servicing home sellers. The company's Web site promises a "marketing arsenal" that reaches about a million people each week for a flat fee of $2,000

This move has upset many "Realtors" in the Utah area but what these realtors have to understand is that.....If you can get 6% great...good for you....home run....I hope it sells while you still have it listed......but for the consumer that wants to save money and reserve the opportunity to still sell their own house flat rate - flat fee is for you.....EVERYONE HAS THEIR PLACE.

So if you are a first time home buyer and excited about the $8,000 rebate check from Uncle Sam think about this.........If you are buying a $150,000 home and it is listed with a traditional Realtor charging 6% you will essentially be giving your rebate check and $1,000 out of your pocket to that Realtor for their commission.......
