For Buyers
The Internet has empowered the consumer. Whether you are looking for cars, boats, or homes ,it can be found on the net.
When buying a home, buyers now have access to all relevant information, homes for sale, school rankings, taxes, etc.
Buyers can do most of the leg work on their own, and when they come to us, they do not require as much time looking for that perfect home. Which results in lower costs to us, and we can then give part of our commission back to them. So our buyers get paid, for all the leg work, they have done.
Here's how it works. As the agent for you, the buyer, Call Art Realty, will recieve a fee for representing you, called a commission. The seller pays this commission, from the money you pay him for the house.
Our fee is $1500, and is recieved when you close and fund your new home. It comes from that commission, the seller is paying, and you, the buyer, gets the rest of the commission. To use as you want.
Example: On a home that sells for $150,000, with a 3% commission being offered, by the seller to a buyer's agent, the commission will be $4500. Call Art Realty, will get $1500, and you, our buyer will get $3000.
What could you do with an additional $ 3000 ?
No matter what price home, you buy, we get $1500 of the commission, and our buyers get the rest.

" hey Art, your new flat rate plan is wonderful. It allowed us to apply more money to our down payment, helped with the closing costs, and saved us a lot of out of pocket expense"

" his years of experience, made him an invaluable benefit to me as a first time home buyer. He identified features and structures, that were assets,and those that were of concern. His fee is very reasonable and I recieved over $ 2000, which I used to buy appliances for my new home."
