| The only fee for New Trend Realty Services® is $249.00. This one-time fee will keep your house listed for up to six (6) months. There will be NO OTHER FEES unless you agree to additional real estate services with an attorney or any other agency that you may locate and determine appropriate to assist you with the sales transaction at time of receipt of an offer to purchase the property. The majority of Sellers who use the New Trend Realty service allow the title agency, selected by Buyers, to handle their conveyance of title. Title agencies are favorable to this as ease of processing occurs when both sides of the transaction are held under one roof. If the accepted offer does not go to settlement, New Trend Realty will at your request reactivate your listing at no charge. The $249.00 fee will list your property (with up to 25 pictures) on the TREND Multiple Listing Service (typically same day but allow up to 24 hours) and a Showcase Listing on Realtor.com for a period of up to six (6) months. The Showcase Listing includes up to 25 pictures, Enhanced Customer Remarks, Special Message and Headline. You can change the listing price or cancel and have your listing withdrawn at any time. State law requires these requests to be in writing. Forms for your written notices are provided to you. Changes/updates are free and usually done same day but allow up to 24 hours. CMAs are provided at no cost and "Open House" notices are also posted free of charge. You will be asked to offer an appropriate real estate brokerage fee in the form of a Buyer's Agent commission. You may be requested by a Buyer’s Agent, who introduces a Buyer with an acceptable offer, to pay this Buyer Agency fee (commission). Typically, a Buyer Agency fee is from one to three percent of the sales price. This fee is negotiable under requirement of state law. You will agree in advance to that fee (a minimum of one percent) by completion of the multiple listing property information forms so Buyer Agents are aware of the value to them in introducing your property to their prospective buyers. Keep in mind that if you sell your home yourself without the assistance of a real estate agent you pay no Buyer's Agent commissions. As an example, suppose a Buyer learns about your home by your sign, your sales efforts or even on Realtor.com, and contacts you directly. If that Buyer purchases your home without the assistance of an agent, you do not pay the Buyer Agent's commission offered on the multiple listing form! Listing your home with a full service agency is costly. Perhaps
$18,000.00 for a $300,000.00 house! The beauty
of New Trend Realty’s FIRST STEP brokerage service is that
you control your sale costs, thereby saving home value dollars.
Your savings can be used as "Settlement Costs"
on your next home. And unlike most "Flat Fee,
Sell Yourself" web companies, New Trend
Realty is not a referral service who farms out
your business. New Trend Realty is a Delaware Valley-based Real
Estate Brokerage Company licensed by the State of Pennsylvania to
serve the homeowners in the Philadelphia and suburban area who desire
to save the costs of full service brokerage and be part of the NEW
TREND in the real estate business.
