Joelle Coughlin

In mid 2010, company owner and broker, Joelle Coughlin, believed there was a need to provide consumers with an alternative way of selling real estate. With the amount of foreclosures and short sales available now and a new wave coming soon, the down market plays a significant part in real estate for the buyers but also for the home owner.

Selling a home today is taking longer than in previous years. Sellers are in a tough place because most of their equity has been wiped away with the current market conditions. Even real estate investors are trying make some profit from their investment flip.

"For Sale by Owner" sellers could now gain the needed exposure with access to the MLS by paying a flat listing fee rather than the traditional listing commission saving thousands of dollars. The concept behind the flat fee listing program could provide the need for control for the seller and save them money at the same time.

Embracing this real estate trend, without losing the personal touch and professional service, is the operating goal of Long Island Flat Fee Realty.

Joelle has been in real estate working with sellers & buyers also, buying and selling herself since 1999.
