Frequently Asked Questions...
What do I get for 2.99%?
For our competitive 2.99% rate, you receive a comprehensive package of services that goes beyond industry standards. This includes HDR quality photos, 3D virtual tours, aerial drone photography, personalized video tours, REALTOR.ca advertising, targeted sponsored ads on various social media platforms, and, notably, targeted sponsored paid ads on Facebook. Our commitment is to provide a full-service experience at a fair and reasonable rate.
Will other Agents show my home?
Absolutely. We not only cooperate with all real estate professionals through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), but we also offer a competitive 2% commission rate for cooperating agents. This ensures that your home is accessible to a wide network of agents, maximizing its exposure to potential buyers.
What sets you apart from other low commission or flat fee companies?
We go a step further by recognizing the critical importance of mandating a co-operating commission to a buyer’s agent. This strategic approach is fundamental to networking your home with industry professionals actively working with prospective buyers. The concept of a co-operating commission is pivotal in real estate, and its absence is often the sole reason why other low commission or flat fee companies face challenges and, in some cases, become boycotted. At Rinehart Realty, we ensure a fair and competitive co-operating commission, fostering collaboration with a vast network of agents to maximize exposure and opportunities for your property. Our commitment is to deliver exceptional value without compromising on the vital connections that drive successful real estate transactions.
What’s the catch, are you going to try and “Up Sell” your commission rate?
There’s no catch! 2.99% is the total commission, and we firmly reject the “up-sell” model. We provide all-inclusive services without pressuring you to purchase additional offerings. Our mission is to offer transparency and deliver the services you need at a fair and reasonable rate.
For lower-priced homes, is there a base fee?
Yes, for homes under $500,000, we charge a base fee of $4,950, in addition to 2% commission to a buyer’s agent. This transparent fee structure ensures fairness while providing a cost-effective solution for homeowners in this price range. We believe in clear communication and affordability, tailoring our approach to meet the specific needs of each property, regardless of its value.
What sets you apart from a larger traditional franchise?
At Rinehart Realty, our distinct advantage is a modern, tech-driven approach to real estate. Operating virtually, we leverage cutting-edge technology to streamline processes, reduce costs, and offer a more affordable total commission rate without compromising service quality. Our commitment to transparency, personalized service, and innovation ensures a seamless and cost-effective real estate experience. Simultaneously, we prioritize our agents’ success by eliminating high franchise fees and hefty broker percentages, fostering a collaborative and client-focused environment. This empowers our agents to prioritize your needs without pressure to ‘up sell,’ ensuring a positive experience for both our team and clients.
Do you hold open houses?
Certainly. As part of our services, we can arrange open houses for both the public and for agents. This strategic approach enhances the visibility of your listing, attracting potential buyers and facilitating a dynamic selling process.
Aside from Realtor.ca, where else is my home advertised?
In addition to REALTOR.ca, your home will be advertised on popular search engines such as Zillow, HouseSigma, Kijiji, and several others. What’s more, our multifaceted marketing approach includes targeted sponsored paid ads on Facebook, extending our reach to a broader audience, particularly in the Greater Toronto Area. This strategic initiative ensures that your property receives exposure across various channels, maximizing its visibility for a successful sales process.
What areas of Ontario do you serve?
Rinehart Realty proudly serves a diverse range of locations across Southwestern Ontario, including major cities like London, St. Thomas, Kitchener, Cambridge, Waterloo, Brantford, Woodstock, Grand Bend, and Sarnia. We also extend our services to all the smaller communities in between.
