"I will measure others by the level of service Assist-2-Sell provided in the process of selling our home in a very tough sales market. Assist-2-Sell provided us with a full service real estate experience and we saved over $17,000 in the process."

Michael and Norma Finnerty (They saved $17,555)

"Despite your low fee for listing our house the service never once felt like a low cost service. In fact I can't imagine one thing those other realtor's do that you yourself didn't do which begs the question....why do they charge so much?"

Laird and Catherine Cameron (They saved $13,920)

What do we charge?

Below are the prices we charge to sell your home. Please understand that the deep discounts you see here are for a full service real estate offering. There is no compromise on service. We believe fees around 6% belong in the distant past when there was no internet and real estate agents spent countless hours and days matching buyers and sellers using primitive time consuming systems. The industry still largely clings to these fees. We leverage advanced technology with plain old fashioned service to bring buyers and sellers fair fees with service people tell us again and again is better then any previous real estate experience they have had. In this tough economy please do not waste $1000’s on real estate fees before giving us a chance to understand your specific situation and allow us to explain how we can sell your home and save you a lot of money. There's no pressure, no hidden fees and we expect you may well learn something of value from this meeting.

Real estate commission in general

Real estate commission for selling a home typically consists of two separate elements. One, the listing fee, is the charge the agent selling your home will secure when your home is sold. The other is a commission the seller of the home offers agents who brings a buyer who eventually buys your home. Typically, the listing fee is 3% and the fee to an agent who brings the eventual buyer is also 3%. The sum of these two elements is the total you, the seller, will have to pay to sell your home and typically this runs from 5-6%. An agent who lists your home will likely earn the full up to 6% if they find the buyer.

Our commission fees

For homes up to $400K we have a listing fee of $4,995. For homes over $400K we charge 1.25%. Homes over $1.25M attract a listing fee of 1.15%. We normally suggest sellers offer 2.5% to the agent who brings the eventual buyer but in the event we find the buyer we charge the same fee as the listing fee which is at least half what most agents would charge. There are no fees if we do not sell your home and no hidden costs. The examples below show some typical scenarios. These examples are just a guide and apply to traditional sales only as short sales and bank owned home fees are usually set by the financial institute. However, if you feel you may need a short sale you should call us as our low fee structure may save you sufficient funds to avoid a "distressed" sale.

Blue Orchid, Aviara, 92011 sold for $730,000 Sellers saved $17,555
	Dear Joanne, Norma and I wanted to contact you and from the bottom of our hearts thank you and your husband Ron for selling our home. It was a long meandering journey but our admiration for you and Ron only grew through the process. Other firms tried very hard to convince us that we deserved a full commission real estate firm. I can only think they do not know what kind of service Assist 2 Sell provides. Norma and I have been through this selling process a few times and this was the first time that an agent made sure they were on hand for every inspection including, home inspection, termite, appraisal, follow ups and meetings with other agents when we had an offer to coordinate all the relevant points. You were always professional, courteous and friendly as was your husband Ron. That is the kind of commitment you have brought to Assist-2-Sell. I will measure others by the level of service ASssist-2-Sell provided in the process of selling our home in a very tough sales market. Assist-2-Sell provided us with a full service real estate experience and we saved over $17,000 in the process. Thank you Joanne and Ron. Sincerely Yours, Michael and Norma Finnerty

White Birch, Vista, 92081 sold for $530,000 Sellers saved $13,920
	Hi Joanne, I just wanted to say a belated "Thank You" for working as hard as you did to get our home sold this month. With the resale market being so hard to read lately, you were able to figure out about where we needed to be with our pricing and how best to showcase our home. The pictures you did for the MLS listing turned out great and really drove a lot of traffic to us resulting in one showing after another. And with all those people looking we found that buyer that seemed to love the house and neighborhood just as we have for the past 21 years. Thank you too for getting us through the escrow period so smoothly. Your referral for a termite service was great and Ann Hurd handling the escrow couldn't have been better. Between you and those folks the process was really pretty painless and did I mention cost effective? Despite your low fee for listing our house the service never once felt like a low cost service. In fact I can't imagine one thing those other realtor's do that you yourself didn't do which begs the question....why do they charge so much? Cathy and I were just glad we had you as an option and that you were kind enough to take us on as clients. Once again, thank you for your help and getting us moving onto the next stage of our lives. Laird and Catherine Cameron

Sandcastle, Harbor Pointe, 92011 sold for $657K Sellers saved $17,000
	In the past 10 years we have purchased and sold 7 homes and have never used the same Realtor twice. Our expectations of a Realtor are very high and although we continue to utilize the services that a licensed agent can give us, we have never been truly impressed enough to call on the same agent a second time. In our most recent experience, we had just fired our listing agent and were seeking his replacement. This is when we decided to call on Assist-2-Sell and were introduced to Joanne Leigh. Joanne met with us and offered up a friendly, professional conversation during our first meeting. I was most impressed with her attitude that our first meeting was not a “hard” sell of her services, but an information gathering for both parties involved. Joanne was ready to create a relationship with us not just “sell our house”. We indicated to her that we were very picky and told her what our expectations would be of her as our agent. Joanne went above and beyond and had our house under contract within two weeks. I would get into the details of why we are so hard to work with but this letter would be too long and boring to read. I would however, like to express our main concern when working with any agent (or any company that claims to provide a service to the public). Our main problem with other agents has been their lack of communication. Joanne was available to us by phone constantly. She returned all of our calls, answered our questions, informed us of her expectations and constantly kept us up to date on what she was doing with our listing. She let us know what to expect and when to expect it. She even asked us if she was meeting all of our expectations and what else she could provide for us. I have never had an agent ask if they could do MORE. In a nutshell, Joanne Leigh will be called a second time! Thanks a bunch— Angie and Scott Jenkins
