It's true!  For home sellers that qualify, we are offering all the home selling services described below, Seller Select Marketing and Contract to Closing Services for FREE. You must still pay the mandatory FMLS Fee of .12% of the final selling price ($120 for every $100,000) at closing. I think you will agree that all the home selling services described under the Seller Select Marketing and Contract to Closing Services are more than the vast majority of traditional real estate agents offer their clients. 

Free services are great, but do they work? The chart below shows our "independently verified" sales performance when compared to the 6 top selling real estate agents over the same 1-year period, in Forsyth County, North Fulton, East Cobb and West Gwinnett. 

Clearly the "independently verified" information shows our home selling system works.

We obviously need to cover our expenses and make a profit. That is how we stay in business.  So, how to we offer our home selling services for FREE?  By having you participate in the process!  In order for you to qualify for us to sell your home for FREE, you have to fulfill two of following requirements:

1. You purchase another home in Forsyth County, North Fulton, East Cobb or West Gwinnett of equal or greater value than the home you are selling.  The home you purchase must be under contract prior to the closing date of the sale of your home you have listed with us. You contract with us to exclusively represent you with your home purchase.
                       And
2. a) You refer a person to us who has a home to sell and will be buying another home within the next 6-months in within Forsyth County, North Fulton, East Cobb or West Gwinnett of similar or greater value than the home you are selling. The referral must be willing to execute a listing and buyer agency agreement before the closing date of your home sale. 
                       Or
   b) You refer 2 home sellers to us who have a home to sell within Forsyth County, North Fulton, East Cobb or West Gwinnett of similar  or greater value than the home you are selling. The referrals must list their homes for sale with us under one of our listing plans below, before the closing date of your home sale. They do not need to purchase another home using our services.
                       Or
   c) You refer 2 home buyers who intend to purchase a home within Forsyth County, North Fulton, East Cobb or West Gwinnett and they must execute an exclusive buyer agency agreement with us prior to the closing date of your home sale, and have true intent (as solely determined by Alpha Team Realty) to purchase a home within 6-months in Forsyth County, North Fulton, East Cobb or West Gwinnett. They do not need to sell a home using our services.
                    

If you are not able to fulfill these two qualification requirements we can still help you sell your home for only $499 by listing your home on the multiple listing service (MLS/FMLS), plus we have numerous other options available for you.

By contracting to use us as your exclusive buyer's real estate agent to help you locate and purchase another home in the areas specified above AND by referring 2 additional transactions to us AND they both commit to an agency agreement with us - then we are able to provide all the home selling services we offer on the home page for FREE to you.

This is a business relationship where we both win!  Your home is sold for FREE and you have help in locating and purchasing another home.  We earn a buyer agent commission through the purchase of your new home and we get an opportunity to sell 2 more homes under this program!  It's that simple!

Bundled Listing Services Packages

You will receive our Seller Select Marketing and Contract to Closing Services services described below with each of the following packages.  Pricing is based on risk.  If you want us to provide all the services without payment until we sell and close your home, then we assume all the risk associated with marketing and selling the home and we have no commitment to earn the desired income if the home does not sell.  As you pay for contracted services our risk is reduced because you are paying for services as they are being delivered, which is reflected in our a la carte pricing, our best and lowest cost pricing model. The more you pay at the time services are rendered, the less we earn but the lower our risk.

See Listing Plan Comparison Chart

* does not include the selling broker commission you select to pay and the FMLS fee.

** Home that you contract to purchase must be within our service area and be of equal or higher value. Referrals must be of higher or similar value to qualify.

Important Reading

The Changing Face of Real Estate: The Completion of the Real Estate Evolution is Near The Internet, technology and competition are causing change within all industries. Within the last few years, this is very evident in the real estate industry, which traditionally has been slow to adopt technology and embrace new ideas. The Internet has vastly improved the consumer’s ability to get information that previously was not accessible to consumers. Technology and its simplification have improved the efficiency of systems as well as the ability to effectively and efficiently use the information. Competition has created new or improved ideas and challenged many businesses’ traditional way of doing business.  Continued >>>>
