Catalist Homes
Series D in 2007
Catalist Homes is a real estate company providing a higher quality of client service through professional personnel working out of local offices and backed with tremendous corporate support. A reduction in fees would be meaningless if your home did not achieve its maximum value on the market. The good news for CataList Home's clients is they not only save thousands of dollars in fees, but yield higher prices and almost identical marketing times than other homes sold in the market. Data from hundreds of CataList sales in Los Angeles and Orange County prove that they achieve the highest sold price to listing price The truth is, it does not cost any real estate agent more than 3% to sell a home. Fees in excess of 3% represent an excessive charge to the home seller for the use of a real estate agent involved in an old, inefficient and costly system. Instead, you should be asking: "How can Realtors continue to charge five and six percent commissions (typically eliminating 20-25% of homeowner equity) when the average home is sold in less than 30 days?" When you consider the fact that home prices have virtually doubled in the last five years, how can Realtors keep the commission percentage the same and essentially double their fee? Your conventional agent is asking you for a 100% pay raise in 5 years, and he wants you to pay for it. A 3% commission in 2006 is the same dollar cost as 6% just five years ago when you factor in home appreciation. This is how they offer all the essential service for 3%.
