      Along with my partner, we have over 30 years experience in the real estate market.  Together we have formed a competitive team for the Charlotte market.  We are one of Allen Tate's most aggressive advertisers.  We have a highly successful marketing program which leads to the sale of over 80% of our listings as compared to the Charlotte average of 45%.

     To help get an answer to this question, I'd be happy to do a Comparative Market Analysis for you which basically involves me visiting your home and finding out about all the "specs" as well as the things that make it special to you.  After my visit, I'll research how it compares with similar properties that have sold recently.  This will give us a good idea of what kind of price range seems appropriate for what buyers have recently been willing to pay for houses like yours.  A "CMA" is NOT the same thing as an appraisal, but it usually gives a good general idea of what you can expect from the current market.  My Market Analysis of your home is at no charge and with no obligation to you.

     Allen Tate has a wealth of information to help with questions like this.  No other local company offers so much information and guidance, and they've trained me in how best to help you!   Check out Ask Allen Tate for a complete guide for sellers to help you sell your home quickly.

     A “limited service” broker does limited service for a reduction in their commission.  Most “limited service” brokers will charge you a flat fee to list your property in the MLS.  But where are they when you need them most?  Where are they when an agent is trying to schedule an appointment to see your home and you can’t be reached?  Where are they when you are negotiating the contract with another aggressive agent?  Where are they during inspections?  Where are they during the negotiation of repairs?  A “discount” broker may be able to attract buyers to your home, but those buyers will probably expect to pay less for your home.  Just imagine, if a “limited service” broker is willing to “discount” his/her own commission, what will they do when it comes to the price of your house?
