Frequently Asked Questions
When you offer a new alternative way of doing business to the existing traditional way of doing things, it raises lots of questions. We've answered some of the toughest questions we hear below. If you have a question not listed here, see our support center.
Established in 1998, The Barlow Group developed a repeatable sales process with proven marketing strategies without any of the overhead you pay for at a traditional brick and mortar brokerage. We are a family run independent brokerage - we don't split our commissions with big brokers, office managers or regional bosses. We're super experienced & efficient - with over $300,000,000 sold to prove it. We understand digital marketing - you'll be everywhere 2020's Buyer is looking.
We're Top Producing Realtors®, ranking inside the top 1/2 of 1% nation-wide, who have 50+ combined years of experience — you can't find a better deal anywhere in town — we will make you the most money, selling your home in the least amount of time, all while saving you thousands in sales commissions!
We're Top Producing Realtors®, ranking inside the top 1/2 of 1% nation-wide, who have 50+ combined years of experience — you can't find a better deal anywhere in town — we will make you the most money, selling your home in the least amount of time, all while saving you thousands in sales commissions!
How are we able to have great Realtors® give great service when we charge so little? Our typical day consists of waking up and selling homes: and that's it, thanks to Sell For 1 Percent®'s technology & the popularity of the listing program, we can fully focus on selling homes and taking care of our customers instead of spending our time (and money) looking for new leads.
All of our agents are fully qualified, full-time professionals with an average of over 10 years experience. Being experienced, agile and efficient Realtors® are keys to making the 1% business model work: we don't waste time or energy on things that don't sell real estate. While the average Realtor® closed just 4 deals all year in 2017, our team averaged over 12.5 closings every month.
Everywhere. Your property will be on the Columbus Realtor® MLS which covers . The listing will be published on Zillow, Realtor.com, HomeSnap, Trulia, Keller Williams, RE/MAX, HER, Century 21, and every other brokerage, both big & small, who have a website. We also push the listing onto Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
No. While a traditional listing agreement is for 6% and the broker will "co-op" offering 3% to a Buyers agent, our listing agreement is truly for 1% and there is a fill-in-the-blank spot for you to choose how much to pay the Buyers agent. Some clients do offer 3% and others do not. We can discuss the pros and cons of both approaches in greater detail with you.
No! Actually we do everything you'd expect, and more, all for the same low rate:
1. We market your property across all major listing websites and the MLS;
2. We give you a dedicated Realtor right through closing with all the advice and assistance you'd expect;
3. Our partners and technology allows you to manage your listing and view all showings/feedback online 24/7;
4. Professional photographs, secure lockbox and real estate signage all built into the 1% commission.
We also hold Open Houses, handle social media marketing and have dedicated buyer Realtors® to insure no conflict of interest when representing you and your interests.
Realtor.com, Zillow, and every real estate brokerage out there all have a website where you can search listings for sale — but where do those listings come from? They all come from the MLS. While some websites update once or twice a day, they are all feeding off of the Realtor® MLS database. We find homes first by going directly to the source: The MLS. By giving you access to your own MLS portal, you can view listings in real time and get push notifications the instant a new listing becomes available. These notifications can be hours or even days before the other websites pick them up! This "headstart" is crucial in a competitive market, like Central Ohio.
Generally, you need decent credit (580 score or higher, although, FHA has no minimum required score), steady employment, and 3% for a downpayment. We work with some of the cities most premier lenders and have go-to mortgage companies for Buyers with great credit, weak credit, low-downpayment, new construction, first time buyers, VA and other 0% down loans, rehab/investment loans and even a local credit repair company! Let us know what you're looking to accomplish and we can set you up for success.
Oh, yeah! We are experts in finding our clients the best deals, which means, sometimes finding homes that need repairs and general "TLC." We have extensive expereince in helping Buyers buy foreclosures, HUD homes, estates, auction properties, handy man specials and even short sale pre-foreclosures.
No. The Sellers pay Buyers agents for "bringing them a Buyer" and while we represent your interests, and only your interest, the Seller pays us for our service to you.
