Sellsius covers all aspects of real estate, with a focus on marketing tools, new technology, innovation, and social media. The goal is to inform in an entertaining way. There are tips, new website applications, trends, consumer news and a heavy dose of humor. You may see something unusual from time to time because we like to color outside the lines. I hope you enjoy reading and find something to smile about.

Need a Real Estate Agent? One Size Does Not Fit All

Over the past 3 years, I’ve traveled across the country, and the internet, meeting and talking to real estate agents I would feel comfortable recommending to my family and friends. I’ve found a bunch of them. And because I value choice and options, I have found agents who use different business models– flat fee, rebate, reduced rate, hourly by task — even those who help “For Sale By Owner” get listed in the MLS– and more. Did you know you could hire an exclusive buyer’s agent? (many buyer agents actually work for the seller!)

If you’re not sure if you can find a good agent, or are looking for choices, contact me and I’ll refer you to someone. You are, of course, free to use that person or not.
