Why ‘you get what you pay for’ is a myth

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.

Want to sell like a pro? Staged properties sell 73% faster

Want to sell like a pro? Staged properties sell 73% faster

5 tips for writing an advert that turns browsers into buyers
It’s so exciting, you’re ready to make a change and move to a new property! But before you can get stuck into planning your new décor, you have to tell the world how great your current home is and convince them to make a great offer.
Brainstorm everything you know, love and loathe about it
This includes the good, the bad, and the indifferent.
4 bed, 2 bath? Great.
Catches warm morning light in the breakfast nook? Awesome.
Drive a little overrun with plants? Not a deal breaker.
Providing concrete facts and capturing the buyer’s imagination is what makes a listing great, so arm yourself with knowledge and the next steps will be more fun than you realise.
Identify key info you plan to include
Certain facts about the property must go in, so start with them. Size, location, expected features. Lay them out clearly.
It may seem better to leave off some details (like your wildly overrun driveway), a buyer could potentially find charm in them, so try and make interesting points instead. The drive isn’t overrun, it’s naturally private and secluded.
Focus on the positive!
Using historic information or other unique facts about the property and surrounds to give it character.
Target Audience
Consider the potential buyer you want to attract. Is your property best suited for a busy executive? Or do you want to attract a larger family?
Writing a narrative will help customise your advert to attract the audience you think will be best suited to your property. Set the scene for imagination so potential buyers can view themselves making it their home.
Don’t forget to leave them wanting more by leaving some mystery – think about your target audience and what would make them pick up the phone. For example, a children’s playhouse is a great value-add for a young family property, so hint at how amazing it is by referring to it as a “tea-party paradise”. You’re allowed to have a little fun with your listing body!

4 Real Estate Trends That Show a Changing Industry

4 Real Estate Trends That Show a Changing Industry

Buying a house is often the largest financial decision people make in their lives, which means it’s not something they take lightly.

That’s why it’s so important for industry-leading real estate brokerages like Redfin to have a spot-on understanding of what consumers truly want.
How are people buying homes? Why are they buying them? How’s the market changing with the addition of variables like technology? And perhaps, most important: What do customers think of Redfin and other alternatives to the traditional brokerage model?

 The answers to these types of questions tell us a lot about the current state of real estate, which has been the focus of a lot of attention from both Wall Street and Silicon Valley. They also help Redfin, the next-generation real estate brokerage and SurveyMonkey customer, understand the needs of consumers in order to serve them better.

To get these answers, Redfin commissioned SurveyMonkey Audience to survey to 2,134 people who had bought or sold homes in the past two years to ask them about their experience. Of the respondents, 84 had used Redfin

Top 10 Features of a Profitable Rental Property

Top 10 Features of a Profitable Rental Property 

 Looking to purchase a rental property? These are the factors that should be considered for income-producing real state



From the first decision to invest in real estate to actually buying your first rental property, there is a lot of work to be done. This task may be daunting for the first-time investor. Owning property is a tough business and the field is peppered with land mines that can obliterate your returns. Here we'll take a look at the top 10 things you should consider when shopping for an income property.

Starting Your Search

Although you may want a real estate agent to help you complete the purchase of a rental property, you should start searching for your investment on your own. Having an agent can bring unnecessary pressure to buy before you have found a property that suits you. The most important thing is to take an unbiased approach to all the properties and neighborhoods within your investing range.
Your investing range will be limited by whether you intend to actively manage the property (be a landlord) or hire someone else to manage it. If you intend to actively manage, you should not get a property that's too far away from where you live. If you are going to get a property management company to look after it for you, your proximity to the property will be less of an issue.

You should never pay estate commission, and here’s why

You should never pay estate commission, and here’s why


You should never pay estate commission, and here’s why:

Selling your house? Two things jump right out:

“I need to get it listed on RightMove,” and “I’ll have to pay a fortune in commissions.”

Only one of these statements is true.

Online listings reach buyers worldwide

Buyers are online, searching listings from far and wide, browsing for one which captures their imagination and they can see themselves living happily in. They enter their criteria and consume the photos hungrily, knowing their ideal property is just one click away.

Buyers are not lining up at the local agency office, begging to see the big book of listings.

The market has changed, because buyer expectations have changed.

Why haven’t seller expectations changed with them? The days of calling the local agent and having them over for a coffee are gone. To be listed on RightMove you do need to go through an agency, but it definitely doesn’t need to be a commission hungry agency stuck in an old fashioned billing model.
