I want to personally thank you for stopping by our newly remodeled office on the web.
Since 1999, we've saved Metro Detroit over $1.6 Million in unpaid commissions, compared to the traditional 6% that the public had come to expect over the last 50 years.
Homesource grew out of my own frustration in trying to sell my first home. After months on the market with a well-known agent who made all kinds of promises, my home had not sold. I felt like I inconvenienced him with every phone call. And he kept telling me that the only thing I could do was drop my price.
Eventually, an opportunity arose for me to sell my home to my sister. And that's where things got really ugly...The agent wanted his commission anyway!
After heated discussions, we eventually settled on me reimbursing him for some advertising I never saw, plus extra for his time and "expertise". The entire experience left a bad taste in my mouth; I knew there had to be a better way.
When Homesource opened, I received calls almost every day from agents and brokers around town saying that we were crazy; that we wouldn't last; that what we were doing was impossible.
I am overjoyed to be celebrating our 8th year. I can report that 91% of our listings in 2006 were sold by agents at other companies...The same agents who said they would never show our listings.
I made a conscious decision when we started that Homesource agents would all be REALTORS; Members of the National Association of REALTORS. All of our agents strictly adhere to the REALTOR Code of Ethics. I personally serve on the Professional Standards Committee and the Risk Reduction Committee of one of the REALTOR Boards of which we are members.
It is because we are REALTORS that we have been successful. It is because we fully cooperate with literally thousands of agents at hundreds of real estate firms throughout Michigan through our participation in Multiple Listing Services (MLS).
You probably won't recognize our agent's names and faces because we market homes, not people. I believe that's the way it should be.
We will save you money, because we don't waste it.
We don't have fancy offices all over town with marble lobbies and leather furniture.
We have one centrally located office which allows us to spend more money on marketing and less on expensive overhead. Why have extra offices if there's a coffee shop on every corner?
Our experienced, full-time REALTORS are available 7 days a week and are eager to help find a solution to your real estate needs. Whether you're interested in saving thousands when you sell or you're interested in buying your first home or your fifth, we're ready.
