There are a group of men in Tontitown that have been developing their skills for decades, & are willing to train you for a very nominal fee. This group has been relentless in their pursuit of the craft, & have dedicated hundreds of hours to mastering the intricacies of the processes involved with generating a successful outcome. Everyone uses the same tools, but not everyone knows how to execute on the same level. They could teach you for free, but they understand the age-old adage that ‘you get what you pay for’, & they are not interested in entertaining you. They want you to have a little ‘skin in the game’. You can find them almost every day at Harry Sbanotto Park at the bocce ball court, & it’ll cost you a quarter to play. Don’t get your hopes up to ‘win’, but I’ll guarantee you’ll get your money’s worth in the department of education…
Have you ever heard the term ‘you’ve gotta spend money to make money’? Well, part of that is true. Spending money doesn’t infer a return, however INVESTING it does.
At Realty EPIC, the story goes something like this: I often wondered over the past 10 years why I chose to carve out my niche in the Fayetteville real estate market by altruistically serving the underserved-undervalued. For Sale By Owners, negative-equity, people who chose to DIY, and folks who simply couldn’t afford conventional representation. I spent hundreds of hours coaching, consulting, developing marketing strategies and variable commissions structures to help those folks achieve their objectives. I performed these services pro bono, aside from my work for my contracted clients. The effectiveness of my marketing methodologies has always proven more profitable for my clients than the ‘average’, & has generated some really cool success stories from those that just needed a little help tuning their instruments. I’ve always been a fan of the underdog. Spiderman was my favorite superhero as a boy (still is!) because he was just a regular Joe who was determined to make a difference, regardless of the bad press and lack of proper credit. Well, now that I’m a big-boy entrepreneur-type, I’ve decided it’s time to start asking people for their quarters. I have boiled all those years of tools, processes, & execution down into consumer-friendly bites. If you choose the conventional real estate brokerage model, you are agreeing to swallow the elephant in one fell swoop, & maybe that is what is best for you and your family’s digestive tract. If you can walk away from that closing table feeling like you got a FULL value (6%? is that negotiable?) for the services that you required, then by all means, turn right around and write ANOTHER check that includes ANOTHER 6%(is that negotiable?) for the next house you buy, regardless of the likelihood that you found it yourself. I’m sorry if I’m being a lil harsh. But, I get upset that more people are not more educated on some of the base principals of a free-market economy. They say that it’s all about the $$$, then they turn around and submit to the norm without putting up any kind of fight. Maybe that’s my problem. I’m willing to preserve, protect, & promote YOUR interests, even when you and your family are feeling weak. When you want to just throw in the towel. But, if you are looking for another way, give me a call (relatively harmless), I can help you. And, I can guarantee that I can save you money/stress/headaches compared to tradition. I am a truly COMPETITIVE enterprise. I am in the business of redeeming FAITH in the community of service providers, restoring HOPE in the fact that there is a wonderful way out, & I absolutely LOVE what I get to do when I am Entertaining, Educating, & Empowering people to do their BEST.
But, don’t act surprised when I ask you for a check. It’ll likely be more 25¢, but your real assets aren’t bocce-ball either…
