WELCOME AGENTS! SHOTV has bridged the gap between the FSBO and real estate professionals. For a number of reasons, the “For Sale by Owner” has made a decision to sell their home on their own. But this is not to say that they are not willing to hire a real estate professional to manage or assist in certain aspects of the transaction or sale of their property. Saul Klein of Internet Crusade, RealTown.com, “While I believe it is true that there will always be demand for "full service", I also believe that over the next few years, new pricing models will be available to the consumers of real estate services”. See the full article “Developing a real estate menu of services” Your professional services can include “bundled” or “packaged” elements of the transaction or a basic hourly rate. The services provided and the fee associated with the service is totally to your preference. The perfect ice breaker would be for you to offer the FSBO free real estate forms, compliments of you, the “local real estate expert”. Your ad (link to sample ad) will be displayed and promoted to the FSBO by zip code on the SHOTV website, on the FSBO email services page and all administrative pages. There will be a maximum of 3 real estate professionals per zip code. The cost to advertise is $24.95 per month per zip code and you may acquire multiple zip codes, there is a one time setup fee of $24.95. A “professional services” page is included. You will have access to this page through the SHOTV administration section. SHOTV encourages that you hold the National Association of Realtors’® e-PRO certification _______________________________________________________________________ As a promotion to this new and aggressive service, SHOTV is offering 2 months free with a 6 month commitment. There is a $24.95 setup fee now and your ad(s) will be posted immediately.
