Flat Fee Real Estate Brokers

Thanks for visiting my website. My name is Shelley Hanks and I sell houses. I have been a full service flat fee Realtor for over 15 years. When I meet with people there are a number of questions that I hear over and over. Let me address them here:

1. How much to you charge to list a house? I have a “tiered flat fee commission” structure instead of a “5 % of sale” structure. When selling a home, there is a Listing Agent and a Buyer’s Agent (known as the selling agent in real estate terms). When I list a home, my commission is a flat fee. Since 2018, we have also successfully offered a flat fee to the Buyer’s Agent with no loss of Buyers. All Realtors present their offers and cooperate.

2. What does your service include? I offer a premium service. It includes: consultation, staging suggestions, photography (wide-angle lens and Phantom 4 Pro drone), YouTube Video, referrals to vendors for home corrections/improvements, full MLS exposure, full Internet exposure (ZILLOW, Trulia, etc), contract negotiation and close of escrow.

3. How do you charge so much less? Experience. Technology. It may sound cliche, but I sell million dollar houses often. I approach every house the same way. I know the photo shots I want. I usually take a helper. We “stage” the room and take the shot. I put a sign on the property while I am there. I put the lockbox on the property or leave it with the Seller that day (many seller’s prefer By Appointment Only which I always accommodate). I correct all photos for lighting, alignment and upload them into the MLS. Once they are in the MLS, they propogate – GLOBALLY – within 72 hours. The world can see your listing. It is on every website (ZILLOW, Trulia, etc). Additionally, I am a Premiere Zillow Agent. I schedule your home on the next local broker’s tour. Once we get an offer, I meet with the seller, negotiate the offer, provide disclosures for seller to fill out, work on the buyer’s request for repairs and close escrow.

I invite you to contact me to discuss selling your home. I primarily serve Los Angeles and Orange counties. Shelley Hanks 562-212-6886
