COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

How can DISCOUNT REALTY charge so little?

After 13 years of questions this one is the most popular. After years of being charged 6% by the real estate industry people to sell a house, people have a hard time believing that a real estate company can charge a low fee. Of course, the answer is volume. If you give a great service with great price you will have many customers.

How successful has Discount Realty been?

DISCOUNT REALTY started in 1994 in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the beginning the listings were few and hard to obtain. Calling on "For Sale by Owners" was the only way to solicit listings. DISCOUNT REALTY was one voice telling the public that there was a different way to sell Real Estate. There are at least 13,000 other real estate agents in town telling every seller that they had to pay 5, 6, or 7% commission in order to sell their home.

After 3 years the word had spread. No more outgoing solicitation calls. Now the phone rings all day with questions and appointments.

Can I find a buyer on my own and save on commissions?

DISCOUNT REALTY realizes that no one wants to sell your home more than you. So, why shouldn't you help find a buyer and why shouldn't you be rewarded if you do. If you find a buyer with your own effort, you do not pay a 3% commission to anyone. For $1295, DISCOUNT REALTY will write the offer and oversee the entire transaction.
