Selling or Renting Your Home
FREE HELP IS ON THE WAY FOR SELLERS
I am confident that we could work well together on your home marketing!
Hopefully if you can really get your property to the attention of the market, you may be able to maximize your results!
I offer you a free listing service that has been very helpful to many sellers!
If a broker sees the property on one of the two Multiple listing services where we would place your property, he can bring his buyer, and if you sell to his buyer, pay him 2% (or more if you choose).
The property will also go as an enhanced presentation on Realtor.com, and there the internet buyers will see it. If one of them buys it, then there is no obligation to pay a fee to our company. Our services are free. If you in the end value the service we offer, and voluntarily pay any fee to our company, that would be your choice. We of course always appreciate our clients sharing their experiences with their family, friends and associates. Lastly, if you sell the property by yourself, there is no charge at all. I offer a very creative barter plan for contractors and others with special skills or professional expertise. If our company sells your property as the buyer broker you may volunteer to trade for some hours of your time, or of your crew’s time if you are a contractor. Those efforts may be for work on a project of ours, or on behalf of one of our clients, or perhaps some volunteer work in the community for one of the non-profits that we support.
I do offer to you my advice by phone and by email, all along the way, regardless of whether I am bringing the buyer. We will engage in a fiduciary relationship. My obligation is to keep your confidences, to be diligent, use reasonable skill and care, to obey your lawful instructions, to be loyal, to provide full disclosure to you, in addition to being fair and honest in our dealings.
In addition, if I meet a buyer through the marketing of your property during the time that it is actively marketed by Divine Realty, and they purchase another property with my personal representation, I will offer you 20% of whatever the commission we earn toward upgrades of your property, or additional marketing for your property, or credits or rebates that would apply to any buyer of your property. This will be at no charge to you. This is my effort to express appreciation for the opportunity that you afforded for me to meet this buyer.
The agreement we would use is posted below. You may cut and paste and sing and forward the document back to me it if you would like to work together on this.
It may be reassuring to know that you may cancel the listing at any time.
Please call if you have any further questions. I am happy to be of help.

FREE HELP FOR YOU IN FINDING A GOOD TENANT!
I would be very glad to help you find a great tenant!
The work I do to list the rental is absolutely free, beginning middle and end. You may offer 1/3 of one month's rent to us OR to any other broker that brings you a tenant. You are welcome to offer more to the brokers at large at some point, if you want to sweeten the brokers' compensation.
At such time as you are ready to show the property, I am happy to run at least one open house, to get tenant prospects in.
This program aims to help you in a number of ways:
1) You are able to bring your listing to the attention of many more prospective tenants through the power of Realtor.com and the MLS.
2) By bringing in more prospects, you may have the ability to choose among the most desirable and qualified candidates.
3) You stand a good chance of renting the property more quickly.
4) Because we answer the phone and email long hours 7 days a week, there is an increased chance that a prospective tenant can make contact.
5) There is enhanced security in having a broker accompanying unknown persons at showings.
6) The screening process conducted by the broker increases the chances that undesirable tenants will not waste your time visiting or offering tenancy.
7) If you install a lockbox, then initial showings may be conducted by the broker, cutting down on wasted time for no show prospects and prospects who subsequently prove to be unqualified.
Again, the listing is free. The rental will go on MLS and many other sites. You only pay a broker if they actually bring you a tenant that meets whatever criteria you set. If you find a tenant on your own, there is no charge.
We could be up and running very quickly! My hope for you is that if we help you get a paying tenant even just 10 or 11 days earlier, then you might cover the cost of a 1/3 month's commission.
We would hope that the value of being able to choose among the widest possible pool of candidates would be of even greater value!
Please do not hesitate to call any hour if you have any questions. I am happy to hear from you any time!
You may cut paste sign and forwrad the agreement below if you would like to move forward!
