A bit of history, I have spent several years as a leading broker in Houston.The Houston Business Journal named Lappin Properties "#1 in most expensive homes sold." Lappin Properties is a full service real estate brokerage firm and our fee is 1.5%. We recommend offering a 3% to an agent that represents the buyer of your home.
Is there a catch? Lappin Properties has a different business model and most brokerage firms use the same business model that was used before the internet. It is obsolete. We are more EFFICIENT.
Math 101
We’ve done enough transactions that we know what it takes to sell a home. The job of a real estate agent has changed dramatically with the internet. Buyer’s have access to online listings and other real estate data without an agent. Buyers are well educated.
We are very efficient in our marketing. We are an independent firm and we do not have nor do we want the infrastructure and franchising fees other firms have. We only focus on marketing that works. Many firms say they charge more and try to justify it because they still advertise in the local paper. This is not efficient and yields very little results!!
Other agents may debate our method and we respect that. It is proven with millions of dollars in sales and a long list of referrals. Over 80% of our clients have referred us business!
Home prices have risen so dramatically. Our service does not need 6% of the price of the home to provide excellent service. No catch
We want you to know and understand that there is no Standard Commission structure in Texas.
