I was not familiar with the paperwork involved (offers, counters, etc.)
but was able to figure it out without too much trouble. The only other
surprise was the fact that we got a full price offer within one day of
listing!!
The $395 flat listing was exactly what we needed and
the extra ability to use Michael as a sounding board for the offer was
much appreciated. It was also nice to know we could add extra services
if we had needed them. Can't think of anything else needed.
It
was a very easy process and I really appreciate you being out there and
providing a good service at a fair price. A full listing agent would
have done about the same amount of work, but taken a lot more of my
money!

I was surprised by the quick access to the prospective buyer's feedback via the website--this was great and very useful in making decisions.
Save yourself the money of using a full service listing agent--most listing agents aren't present when prospective buyers see the property anyhow, so you basically end up paying a large commission for a MLS entry. Michael Paul was an excellent resource in pricing the property and advising on the procedures in the sale. I recommend utilizing the full service option where the contract is handled by Discount Realty Works--it saves a lot of hassle in the contract negotiations stage.

Hello- Yes, we would you recommend Discount Realty Works to friends and family. Our sale went as well as we could have hoped for. We were surprised by how much paperwork had to be completed in the end process, but we appreciated all the help and how available Michael was.

I can't think of any way to improve your services. If we had questions you answered them promptly.
We do recommend Discount Realty Works to other people. The extra effort of taking on some listing tasks was worthwhile.
We would have liked to sell it sooner and to get the appraised value, but this was a unique situation with the recession and housing glut. A lot of people clearly were aware the house was for sale. The house had some charm, hardwood floors, etc., but also some quirks that probably made it less appealing to the average buyer.

Thanks again for all your help. Again, it was the best $495 we ever spent. Our house was put on the market on March 17 and we had our offer on April 4 (Easter Sunday), and the buyers told us they found it on the MLS, so it was sooooooooo worth it to have you put it on the MLS. Thank you, thank you!

Selling in only two days was a plus, but we were also very pleased with
the help we received from Mike. There were quite a few times where
things came up on weekends or late evenings and he was always available
to help. Not fully understanding the realty business ourselves, we were
very happy to have Mike on our side. The money we saved going through
him was quite substantial as well!
The help that Mike provided to
us throughout the entire process was well worth the minimal fee.
Previous to finding Discount Realty Works, we had looked into several
other realty companies in the area and had a hard time with the idea of
paying the large commission fees attached to the service provided.
Selling on our own seemed overwhelming and we were afraid of getting in
over our heads. Discount Realty Works was the solution to our problem!
When we met with Mike we were pleasantly surprised to hear what he had
to offer and how little it would take out of our pockets! Mike's
expertise in the field allowed us to feel much more comfortable
throughout the entire process. We have recommended Discount Realty Works
to everyone we know that has talked about selling. We couldn't have
asked for a better experience! Thanks Mike!

Keep up the good work Mike. Any people, sellers or buyers I can send your way I will. thanks for everything!
Some things that surprised us regarding our home sale:
1.) How long it took for the house to sell.
2.) Pleasantly surprised at how hard Discount Realty Works worked at getting the house sold.
3.) How picky buyers are in regards to wanting everything perfect right away.
4.) How good the communication was with Discount Realty Works as opposed to the previous agent we had.
Can't think of any way to improve your services.
