ANOTHER NEW INNOVATION IN SELLING YOUR PROPERTY 

ONLINE AUCTIONS

How to sell your property and stay in control!

1) Sell your property and pay NO commission.

3) You determine the sale date and terms of the sale.

4) Targeted marketing for maximum exposure, print ads, auction signs, and email marketing included.

5) Sell your property with no "contingencies".  Considered a "cash" sale-not subject to inspections or appraisal.

6) Close in 30 days.

7) You determine the "reserve price" for the sale.

8) Force all interested buyers to bid at a certain time and against each other.

9) No more waiting on potential buyers to call for an appointment or bid when they are ready.

10) What a change!  You, the seller, with our help,  stay in charge of the selling of your property.

* Any questions?  Give us a call at (270) 282-4909, or visit or webpage http://www.longauctions.com.

 WHY LIST WITH A HIGH COMMISSIONED AGENT?

  1. Not knowing how "Flat Fee MLS" operates or even that it exists.
  2. Lack of knowledge about how the real estate business works or what "agents" actually do.
  3. Fall for a "sales pitch" of a high commissioned agent.
  4. Do not care about spending the extra money and the loss of their "equity".

There is nothing these "high commissioned" agents, who commonly call themselves "full service" agents, can do for the seller that we can not do--except save you money.

  • When you list your property (usually 6%), 3% will go to the listing company and 3% to the selling company--or if they get lucky, the listing company will get the entire 6% if they sell the property as well.
  • When you list with us, you save that "listing commission" and all the leads that we get, we refer them to you--unless you want us to show the property (maybe you go on vacation, or want us to show for whatever reason).
  • Therefore, you can list your property more competitively in the market.
  • If you sell, you pay only the "transaction fee" of 1/2%.
  • Want to stay in charge and continue to market your property and find your own buyer?  You have that option with us!

What usually happens when a customer calls the listing agency for details about your property:

  • Which ever agent is on "floor duty" receives the call.  They may or may not have seen your property--just reading from a prepared listing information data form.
  • With us--the customer will call us directly.  Who knows more about the property than the "listing Broker"?

SELLERS' ARE MORE EDUCATED TODAY!

Don't fall for these "sales pitches"!

  1. Our company is a large company and have more agents to help sell your property.  (TRUTH)Buyers' do not care who has the property listed--they are just interested in the property.
  2. We will market your property better. (TRUTH) Most do not have access to as many websites as we do + over 80% find their home on the internet, not in that printed ad once a month in the local newspaper.
  3. Our company website has more hits than a "flat fee" website. (TRUTH) Guess what--through IDX agreements, we are on their website as well.
  4. No agent will show your property if you list "flat fee".  (TRUTH) Your listing looks like every other listing in the MLS, especially if you list as an Exclusive Right to Sell listing and use our regular sign. No Agent or Buyer knows what you paid to list your property--just you and us!
  5. We will give you more service than a "flat fee" listing.  (TRUTH) How ridiculous!  Our "Exclusive right to Sell" listings stipulate that we are with you from LISTING through CLOSING, and we follow all guidelines set out by the Kentucky Real Estate Commission.

WE HAVE SAVED SELLERS' THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS VS. A 6 % COMMISSION.  We service our listings, answer our phone, and are available 7 days a week!  Can your "full service" agent truthfully say that?  Don't fall for a "sales pitch" just to get your listing.  It's your hard-earned equity that is at stake!
