About Spencer County, IN

AR Members and Visitors ... I normally wouldn't post something like this but this is very close to home for me. I am in the process of selling this little girl's grandparents home here in Santa Claus Indiana, and as is expected, this whole situation has been very hard on this family. Our kids have played together for years and again - it's close to home for me because these aren't just "Clients", they are our friends.

The Santa Claus Indiana "Fifth Third Bank" is taking donations to help pay for funeral expenses for Victoria and I hope that area Realtors can find it in their hearts to make a donation. These grandparents are heartbroken and could really use our help!

FAQ HighLight

How does it work?

A home buyer creates an online "auction" searching for an agent to help them. Agents then "bid" on the auction by offering their experience and a rebate from their commission. When the auction comes to a close, the buyer selects the agent with the experience, reputation, rating and rebate that most appeals to him or her. The Rebate is paid out at closing.

View More F.A.Q's - http://www.doorfly.com/agents/faq

Here Is An Example of How This Works

Rebate Example: The buyer's broker rebates a percentage of their commission.
Example: rebate one fourth (25%) of their commission to the homebuyer.

Sales Price:	$	220000
Commission Percentage:		6%
Rebate Percentage:		25%
Rebate Type:		% of buyer's broker commission
Total Commission:	$	13200
Buyer's Broker Commission:	$	6600
Rebate to Buyer:	$	1650 (Rebate To Buyer)

This works in the favor of the SELLER too because many homebuyers; especially first-timers, simply don't have much "Extra Cash" and are often getting 100% financing. What an incentive this Rebate System is. Home Buyers will have a VERY good reason to look at your property if they know they are going to get a $1650 Check at closing. They can use it for: New Appliances, A Riding Lawn Mower or even a New Shiney Play Set for the kids!

SELLERS: Instead of increasing the commission you are already paying or lowering the price of your home, why not let your listing agent offer a rebate incentive instead? If all parties agree (buyer, seller and lender) to this rebate; it just makes sense!
