Why ‘you get what you pay for’ is a myth
It seems that whenever things aren’t going quite as planned, there’s
always someone in the wings, ready to pop out and say it’s because you
didn’t spend enough. The truth is price and value have long since parted
ways, and paying more for something no longer provides the same
guarantee of value it once did.
Quite the opposite actually. Some of the best, most successful and
VITAL services being used today are free. In fact, if they tried to
start charging even a single pound, users would riot.
Not because the services aren’t providing sufficient value, but because the benchmark has been set at zero cost.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest…all free.
Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo…all free.
LinkedIn, Jobsite, Monster…all free.
We couldn’t even imagine life without these services, yet flat out
refuse to consider a user-pays system. Their value has nothing to do
with the price.
There are some in the real estate industry who are challenging the
benchmark of high commissions, realising that the way buyers and sellers
interact has changed and the old system is no longer viable. Some allow
commission haggling, some charge a fixed commission, while some others
charge a flat listing fee. While any estate agent that challenges the
status quo of archaic years gone by is to be applauded, we believe they
don’t go far enough.
The year ‘free’ became the new normal
Ownersellers is the first agency in the world to not just re-evaluate
the old commission system, but to forcibly wipe it out. We’re doing
exactly the same things as other agents who have attempted to be more
competitive, but we’ve gone even further. To zero commission. Free.
We don’t believe sellers should pay 1.5-2% commission + VAT just to
put a listing on the major estate sites. We don’t even believe sellers
should pay £700 like other online agencies charge.
You’re doing the work to sell
your property –
why should any hand be taking money from your pocket?
Ownersellers gives back the control and sets a new benchmark for the industry. Free.
You have full flexibility of viewing times, there are no hidden
catches or fine print, and you still get the same service that used to
cost thousands.
We’re real people, providing real value. We just happen to be the first.
