For the past several decades real estate industry standard commission rates hover around 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.

Need to sell your property? Want to pay less in commission AND have an opportunity to GIVE?

Liz Bates has elected to reduce her commission to 1.5% of the sale price of any listing transaction she is involved with (customary commission is 3%). The broker on the reciprocating side of the transaction will take their standard commission, however, Liz takes far less. Liz then encourages her clients to make a donation to charity of a portion of the monies she is saving them in commission. In most cases, the donation made by the client can be used as a personal tax deduction. The more the client gives, the greater the tax benefit!

Liz's client "Honor Roll" is her way of saying thank you to her client's generosity when they choose to donate to charity. The Honor Roll has many perks in addition to the tax benefit. Those that choose to donate are honored on a local and national level depending on what charity they donate to.  The perks of the Honor Roll are growing exponentially as Liz works diligently to create partnerships with local and national organizations and businesses to incentivize clients to give more.
