Home owners!
  - LIST your home or property - Fee & Option Schedule -

 Emily and I are Licensed Agents and I am also the Senior Broker at BCI Properties, LLC in Tacoma Washington. I am sure you are aware by now that the market is not good for selling at this time, however you will NOT pay our Real Estate Brokerage a fee unless we sell your home! Call or email me today to talk about starting the process now to "list" your home for sale. I have answers!

Fee Schedule & Options:

  • Option 1 - our 4.4% Internet special..., tell me you saw this website offer and I will list your home at 1.9% with all the bells and whistles, add 2.5% for the selling office fee for a total of 4.4% fee. Same features as 6% listing above!
     

  •  Option 2 - our 6% fee. Our average fee. Features include, listing on the MLS, front yard sign, full color flyers, your very own website syndicated on at least a dozen major Internet Giants like Google and Yahoo homes, local news paper coverage, Brokers Open and/or Public Open at sellers option. Coverage on 4 of my main Real Estate websites, syndicated nationally!
     

  • Option 3 - our 8% fee. With this optional* fee we can pull out all the stops by spending more advertising $$$ up front out of our pocket. This is a very aggressive way to get your home/property EXPOSED UNTIL SOLD!
    Features include;
           1. listing on the MLS
           2. front yard sign with full color flyers
           3. your very own website syndicated on at least a dozen major Internet Giants like Google and Yahoo homes.
           4. local news paper coverage.
           5. Brokers Open and Public Open
           6. up to 14,000 eFlyers in full color to area Real Estate Brokers & Agents.
           7. Priority # 1 top placement at the top of 6 of my Real Estate commercial real estate websites, syndicated nationally!
           8. Incentives for buyer include: FREE AHS Home Warranty to the buyer, purchased by BCI Properties, LLC as listing agent, free home inspection with written report "prior" to listing plus another report after any fixes to show good condition to buyers.., provided as a Brochure inside home.

    *Notice: this option is not available to all clients or listings. A home or property must at least have a fair chance of selling and we will do our best with any option or plan, however if you as a seller spend more or are willing to pay more commission then of course we can raise our budget and also spend more to promote your sale. Ultimately in the end, you will find that your price is key. Seller must work with agent to bring home or property up to sellable standards if needed. Ask for more details.
     

  • Option 4 - our 1% = FSBO - If you advertise and sell your own home or property, hire us for 1% total fee to be a Facilitator to moderate, supply all required paperwork, be an unbiased 3rd party negotiator to iron out the wrinkles. Easy and cheap. Call for details.

Other options for owners

1. (see above as option 1)

2. SELL for CASH - Yes we buy homes and work with investors who buy homes for all cash..., if the terms are suitable to meet the needs of investors & if we agree on terms of sale. ALL homes will sell for cash in the end.., if the price is cheap enough. Please see the application to sell page.

3. REFINANCE - your home at a more favorable rate and/or lower payments. This is depending on what you owe, your credit rating and other factors. Please feel free to call my son Ben Leske at PC Bank in Puyallup, at: (253) 202-3355......questions and answers are Free! (please tell him you found him on his dads website...)

4. RENTING your home - which could help to make the payments until the market is better for sellers. I own several rentals myself, its a good option for some. I bought 4 homes in 2007 and rented all 4 out.

5. Rent-to-Own - Notice that this is a whole separate category. Most licensed real estate agents do not know how to do this properly, in my humble opinion. They help people buy and sell homes and properties, not rent. Renting properties is a whole different ball game, like the difference between Rugby and American Football, both played with a ball and the feet but totally different. Then there is "Rent to Own", which presents a whole different set of challenges. Options; you can hire a real estate attorney who will ensure that the paperwork is done right in general, or you can hire someone like BCI Properties, LLC who is a rental management company and licensed Real Estate Brokerage... specializing in rental properties. We arrange Rent to Own programs for our own properties and for other owners.

6. SELL AT A PERSONAL AUCTION - this is a somewhat fast and fairly new option but can be more risky so sellers need to be aware of who they are dealing with. We can setup and sell your home by the Auction process for you if you choose, but it is not the best way to sell property in my humble opinion.

7. SHORT SALE - This method can help you avoid Bank Foreclosure in most cases, when they are done properly. Please note that not all Banks or Lenders treat short sales the same, there are certain restrictions and  you will need a good experienced licensed real estate Broker like myself, or a competent Real Estate Attorney like my own Attorney who can review the legality of all real estate transactions. Your own real estate agent or Broker will not charge you a fee if they cannot sell your home.., the Attorney must be paid a fee no matter what.

Best Option, if you choose a Short Sale method. - If you hire me as your Real Estate Agent-Broker to sell your home via Short Sale there is NO FEE directly to you if we sell your home, you also get the oversight of my Attorney as needed at no additional cost. Plus, if we do sell your home by Short Sale the lender will pay a small fee, not you. - WARNING ... there are some things you need to know ... Click Here.

8. FSBO - For Sale By Owner. Yes, you can try to sell it yourself of course..., without any help. You can save some money, estimated at 3% to 6%, however there are a lot of possible pitfalls and issues to be aware of naturally as with any large transaction. Also, most buyers shy away from dealing directly with a seller due to the possible large price to be paid if there is a problem. Buyers want to buy from an Agency where they will feel more safe and protected.

9.  Owner Contract Sale - You can act as the bank or lender, with or without the help of an Agent. You can sell your home to a buyer who would not otherwise qualify to buy a home. There are some people who have great jobs, however, due to a bankruptcy caused sometimes by a divorce or loss of their last job, they may not qualify with a traditional lending institution for a home loan until they clean up their credit. However, this can be less risky if ..... more...

10. FREE CONSULTATION - You can discuss your options and particular situation with me if you like at no cost in Washington State where I am a licensed Real Estate Broker. (253) 241-6695 ask for Don. You can also STOP ALL FORECLOSURE proceedings fast using a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. My Attorney Dallas or I can eMail you a FREE PDF flyer with good specific information on how to stop a foreclosure fast... possibly even if its already gone to Auction proceedings using this procedure.

More help available: The Homeowner Crisis Resource Center was established in October 2007 by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) to help homeowners who find themselves at risk of losing their homes due to foreclosure or are concerned about their future ability to meet mortgage payment obligations. At the end of the second quarter of 2007, more than 900,000 subprime loans were at least 30 days delinquent. Current trends suggest that there will be just over 1 million foreclosure starts this year. Experts say that 2 million subprime mortgages will reset to higher rates in the next 18 months.
