Taking the approach of being a professional with value to bring to the table in real estate transactions, a real estate consultant can structure their practice much as an attorney or accountant would. We give away so much of our time and expertise in this industry as a marketing strategy. How much fuel and how many hours have you wasted showing buyers properties and never getting to a transaction
? We work on contingency without control. Though many lawyers will take a case on contingency with payment only if they win, they get to examine the case and decide based on its strength and probability of being won. We, on the other hand, do free visits and home valuations just for the privilege of competing for a listing with many other agents. Far too many of these are wasted effort. We'll also work with buyers who may not be as serious about making a purchase as they profess to us. At least the attorney knows her client wants to go to court and win and we know who want buy the property.
