What’s the difference between the recent 60 Minutes media hype about Redfin Real Estate and fee-for-service options in Portland, OR?  In two words, state law. 

Oregon real estate law does not allow Realtors to give buyers and sellers kick-backs or rebates.  Redfin Real Estate, which primarily operates in Washington and California, has built their business model around providing buyers and sellers with cash back rebates at closing.

Oregon Realtors are allowed to discount real estate commissions on the listing side when a seller signs a listing contract.  However, outright discounted commissions to buyers are illegal unless disclosed in writing to the seller and agreed to by all parties.

My fee-for-service packages allow sellers to save money on the listing side of the real estate commission.  You can find full details about all of my packages on my web site, www.PointClickandPack.com.  Click on the Fee for Service link on the Home page. 

I look forward to assisting with your sale!

Sell your house for less with my fee for service packages.  There’s no need to pay a 6% real estate commission on the sale of your Portland, OR house.  My fee for service packages allow sellers to choose the level of real estate service they want and to only pay for the services they need.  With these savings, sellers can either attain a higher profit on their sale or afford to reduce the list price of their home by the amount of real estate commission savings and therefore possibly achieve a faster sale.
