Q.

How does using RealEstateMate.com save
me money?
|
|
A.
|
You save with RealEstateMate.com when you list your real
estate with us because you’re listing privately. We are not a real estate agent
or brokerage, as such we help you to market your properties with our powerful
products, but we only charge low one time listing fees. We DO NOT charge
reoccurring fees or commissions on the sale, rental and lease of your real
estate. This saves you in most cases about 5% of the sale price of your
property resulting in a savings of thousands of dollars.
