Jb Real Estate

When I became licensed in 1987 I always felt our industry overcharged for the services that it delivered. Charging a seller five, six, or seven percent did not seem fair. I have spoken with hundreds of agents over the years, and asked them this one simple question: What do you do differently when selling a hundred thousand dollar home compared to selling a three hundred thousand dollar home? Nearly 100% of the time the answer is nothing; yet, the seller of the three hundred thousand dollar home pays three times more or $12,000 more. Many home sellers pay more to sell their property than it costs for a knee replacement, which is absurd and unfair. Just imagine you pull into a car wash and they charge you six percent of your car's bluebook value to wash it. You would be appalled, yet it happens without question in real estate every day.
