Accredited Consultant in Real Estate

Over the last several months I have performed extensive research into our traditional commission-based business model. What I have discovered is that our industry’s traditional business model is a “one size fits all” percent of sales price, that doesn’t always fit all.

When was the last time you bought “one size fits all” clothing? My guess is you didn’t and opted to purchase what was right for you.

I have determined that the cost of doing a real estate transaction contains both fixed and variable costs like every other business. The fixed costs are those activities that are generally performed regardless of the market value of the property. The variable costs are determined by the property: location, condition, price range and current market dynamics.

Katie Grellner and I have taken the necessary courses and tests to receive the ACRE certification. An Accredited Consultant in Real Estate has moved beyond being a salesperson and has gained the education to become a true real estate consultant.

My next article will go into what exactly is a real estate consultant and how consumers will now have a choice on how to pay for services. We offer a unique way to pay for real estate services that are designed to save buyers and sellers money and fairly compensate consultants all without sacrificing fiduciary responsibility and service quality.
