About Liz Bates
A little about liz
Born on the East Coast and raised in Laguna Beach, California. Liz Bates is a proud mother of four children ranging in ages from 10-25. Liz attended college at CSU Los Angeles with an emphasis in Psychology. After living in LA for eight years, she moved home to Laguna Beach to start her career in Real Estate.
Luck and chance helped her land a job as a Transaction Manager in one of the most successful real estate firms in the nation. Her mentor was in the top 100 agents in the world and was featured on numerous television shows including Oprah and The Morning Show with Regis & Kathy Lee. Liz jumped headlong into her career and managed an average of 30+ transactions daily. She refers to this time in her career as, "My baptism by fire in real estate" and now, 17 years later with hundreds of closed transactions under her belt, she has become a notable and respected force in the industry.
How REAL ESTATE FOR GOOD™ came to be
For the past several decades real estate industry standard commission rates hover around 5%-6% of the sale price of a property being sold.
The influx of technology and information readily available online has dramatically affected the real estate industry. What once was information held by licensed real estate agents is now public and commonplace knowledge. Sellers and Buyers have a lot more information at their fingertips and come to the table as a very savvy consumer.
Liz recognizes the changing real estate industry requires adjustments to the way business is conducted. She sees this time as an opportunity for her clients to save on their bottom line while streamlining their real estate transaction, and as an opportunity to give to back to the community.
Liz has elected to reduce her commission to 1% of the sale price of any listing transaction she is involved with. The broker on the reciprocating side of the transaction will still take their standard commission, however, Liz will take much less. She is encouraging her clients to make a donation to charity of at least a portion of the monies she is saving them in commission. In most cases, the donation made by the client can be used as their personal tax deduction. The more the client gives, the greater the deduction!
