What I won't do as your Realtor.

I won't make you pay for my operating costs such as:

-- rent or mortgage payment

-- franchise fees

-- commission splits with agents

-- utility bills

-- property taxes

-- repairs and maintenance

-- expensive office equipment

-- insurance (property damage or liability)

-- secretary or staff

-- cleaning or yard maintenance

  You won't help me pay any of the above expenses because I don't have them. Operating an Internet-based real estate brokerage from my home eliminates any extra costs of doing business that would be incurred in a bricks-and-mortar office situation. Who needs them? So much of what we brokers and agents do is electronic; it's quite possible to do it all from home with the basic equipment.

  This is real estate today. It doesn't need to be expensive or complicated. Because my costs are lower, you may benefit as my customer while enjoying the same full service you'd have to pay for somewhere else. You can even opt for partial service if you prefer and save more. I give you choices.

  What else do you get from Michael Dixon Realty?

  If you're selling, you will get the most Internet exposure for your listed property. I will feature your listing on my own three real estate websites as well as the Multiple Listing Service. In addition, I'll syndicate your listing to 15-20 real estate search sites where it will be seen by the most people who are looking. Research shows that more than 80 percent of buyers begin their search on the Internet.

  If you're buying, and you are pre-approved for financing, and you buy property for $85,000 or more, you choose your gift: a home inspection, a home warranty, or a Lowe's gift card valued at $400.

  Home sellers, the above buyer incentives are offered to your buyer, but I pay for them as my thank-you gift. When you favor me with your real estate business, you are appreciated. Some conditions apply, so please ask me about them. Call me at 229-924-3089.

  In today's real estate market, a lean, low-overhead operation works to everyone's advantage. This is real estate today.
