commission is as follows:
** Total real estate commission of 4%
NOTE: Please see example below
EXAMPLE:
Company A and Trident Real Estate
If company A charges a 6% commission here is what will happen-
*Company A lists the home but Company B
brings the Buyer-- The Seller pays the full 6% commission that
split between Companies A & B
*Company A lists & sells the home --
The Seller pays the full 6% commission to Company A
If Trident Real Estate lists
your home, here is what happens-
*Tridents lists the home but Company B
sells it, The Seller pays 4% commission
*Trident lists and sells the home - The
Seller pays Trident 4% commission
This is a full service, MLS listing with all benefits of any listing provided by any company
but at a greatly reduced cost to the Seller
| If you pay a 6% commission,
you pay |

| a $200,000 home @ 6% = $12,000 |
a $200,000 home @ 4% = $8000
save
$4,000 |
| a $300,000 home @ 6% = $18,000 |
a $300,000 home @ 4% = $12,000 save $6,000 |
| a $400,000 home @ 6% = $24,000 |
a $400,000 home @ 4% = $16,000 save $8,000 |
Agent Interview
As a Seller, you should ask any agent that you
might interview certain basic questions that pertain to the services
that you will receive and the commission that you will be charged.
In this interview, if you are told that their company can sell your
home quicker, just ask what additional services are they going to
provide that will cause that to happen. Always remember, Realtors
can only show property, Buyers make the decision to buy based
on their parameters, not the Realtor’s.

Now, in regard to interviewing the “kit”,
“menu”, or “as low as” companies, just ask the
agent to give you the fee for services equal to Trident’s and
that will end that discussion quickly because you will see that
“as low as” just flew out of the window. Trident gives
you all available services for one fee, nothing left out. These
companies just cannot compete with Trident, but truly, no one can.
Also,
look at our Buyers Agent program, we continue to save you money,
even on your next purchase.
There is simply no better deal in
the market - Nothing can save the Seller like Trident.
