For some, one of the biggest pain points in any real estate transaction is the commission. It hurts to have to part with such a substantial amount of money.
Yet not every real estate brokerage is structured the same way. One important player on the market has managed to successfully reimagine this aspect of the real estate transaction.
In May of 2021, Unreserved Brokerage was founded with the goal of simplifying the home buying and selling process.
But how is a flat sellers’ fee of $1,500 possible?
A couple of different factors are at play. First, most REALTORS® at Unreserved are paid a salary so they can still provide a premium service. Second, they use a game-changing technology that streamlines the whole process, so they’re able to pass those savings onto sellers.
You never have to worry about receiving substandard service, as their real estate agents work as hard for their clients as they would if they were charging a full 5% commission.
In any real estate transaction, there are multiple players with important roles.
Buyer’s agents, for example, are an extremely important part of the selling process. Traditionally, a 5% commission would be split down the middle between the listing agent and the REALTOR® who represents the buyers.
Now with Unreserved they’re literally buying down to listing agents commission by compensating them with a great salary. This allows the sellers to essentially halve the cost of selling their home while still incentivizing the massive REALTOR® community that represents the majority of active buyers.
REALTOR® Didi Martin goes on to explain the savings in greater detail. “Let’s take a $500,000 sale, for example. A 5% commission would cost the sellers $28,250 ($25,000+HST). Now with Unreserved that exact same sale would cost the sellers $1,500 + $12,500 = $14,000+HST.”
“We’ve all be programmed to believe that if something costs more it must be of higher value. I’m here to prove that simply does not apply to real estate commissions,” she says. “We’re all about education right now and once sellers understand our process is the same if not better due to proprietary technologies, paying that traditional 5% becomes math that’s impossible to reconcile. The whole idea of paying higher fees to walk away with more money in your pocket never adds up.”
As it has done in many other industries, technology is playing an ever-increasing role, introducing efficiencies of time and money that can then be shared with sellers. The technology allows them to scale listings without compromising service.
“It’s a new frontier in real estate and Unreserved is proud to be leading the way,” says Martin.
Local and fully bilingual, the REALTOR® has 19 years of experience working in real estate. She has a vast knowledge of the market in the City of Greater Sudbury and surrounding areas, and she brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the job.
“My core value as a real estate agent is putting my clients first, ensuring transparency and maintaining the highest standards of integrity. I go above and beyond to deliver outstanding service, ensuring my clients not only achieve their real estate goals but also enjoy a positive and stress-free experience throughout the process.”
“We want to put more money in your pocket,” says Martin. “It’s simple math.”
