More potential buyers

We can provide your property with additional U.S. and International exposure.  In addition to the mainstream market, we specialize in serving the fastest growing segments: Latinos & Chinese with our bilingual agents. 
These groups tend to purchase through established personal relationships. Therefore, we provide you with additional potential buyers that are not reachable by other agencies. These buyers traditionally buy in cash, eliminating mortgage uncertainty and shortening closing time. When listing with us, your property will immediately be marketed to our entire International Referral Network of Real Estate professionals.

​Doing it alone: FSBO sellers’ costly mistake

WASHINGTON – Dec. 8, 2015 – Half of all homeowners (48 percent) who decide to sell their home without agent representation believe that it will take a little extra work but be worth it because they'll save money on commissions and closing fees.
But research finds that for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) sellers actually spend a lot more time than they imagined just to end up with a final selling price that's lower than comparable listings sold by an agent, according to research by the National Association of Realtors®.
Most (89 percent) homes sold this year included the assistance of a real estate professional, according to NAR's 2015 Home Buyers and Sellers Profile report. But a small number of people (8 percent) still preferred to do it alone – a record low of for-sale-by-owner transactions, according to NAR's survey, which dates back to 1981.
"In reality, homes sold by the owner make less money overall," according to NAR's Economists' Outlook blog.
According to NAR's survey, the median selling price for all FSBO homes was $210,000 last year. When the buyer knew the seller in FSBO sales, the number sinks to the median selling price of $151,90. However, homes sold with the assistance of an agent had a median selling price of $249,000 – nearly $40,000 more for the typical home sale.
