Realestatemate.com, an upstart Real Estate marketing website based out of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada issued a challenge to the traditional real estate industry today. Stop charging sky high commission fees to home sellers that inevitably contribute to driving up home prices" said company Founder Richard Embro-Pantalony. He backs up his statement by pointing out that Realtors lead homeowners to believe they work so hard to market a home when in reality in an active market its pretty simple but the buying and selling public believes they have no alternative but traditional real estate services.
House prices have increased so dramatically that many realtors can earn significant income selling only a few homes a year! In a hot market like many areas of North America have experienced the past 5 or 6 years, sellers can save 5 or 6 percent on the sale price of their home by selling it themselves, it simply isnt that difficult to do and the savings are dramatic!" said Richard....
