You can spend a lot of time working with a buyer’s agent to find the right home for you, but even though the seller pays those fees the money comes out of your pocket.
If you are looking for ways to save when buying real estate, look for the right property at the right price. Check into the amount the current owner still has outstanding on the home; a seller with a high outstanding balance will be less motivated to come down in price than a seller who has paid off the home loan.
But a way to save even more when you buy real estate is to look into flat fee home buying. With flat fee buying and IHS Realty, you’ll find a great way to save. You will receive a rebate of the real estate commission, but still find that you have the help you need.

When you decide to buy a new home - whether it will be your first home, you are relocting or you just need a smaller or larger home - it’s only natural to do some research on your own. However, most people do not realize that they do not need to find an agent to do the bulk of the research for them.
Instead, with IHS Realty, rather than paying a commission to a buyer’s agent, you can participate in the Flat Fee Home Buying Program. With it, you can - in effect - pay yourself the buyer’s agent fee with a rebate of the selling agent’s commision.

IHS Realty has since 1997 been at the forefront of delivering real estate marketing services for homeowners using technology to provide value added services at a drastically reduced cost when compared to the traditional real estate agent model.
Flat Fee MLS Listing by IHS Realty provides access to the Realtor MLS - the nationwide MLS listing service that accounts for over 70% of home sales in the country - the difference is that IHS Realty provides access to this MLS listing service for a flat fee rather than a huge commission.
On average, sellers with IHS Realty can save up to $4,000 for every $100,000 of sales proceeds - and on an average priced home of $250,000 that means an extra $12,000 in the pocket of an IHS Realty client and not in the bank account of a realtor.

Valuing a home is a key issue whether you are buying or selling. Buyers do not want to bid over the odds and a seller does not wish to lose out on valuable equity being lost.
Determining the value of a home is in many instances, quite easily done by performing a little homework and exercising common sense. First of all, there are many online resources that will value a home quite accurately such as that provided for free by IHS Realty (see the link below). Looking at real estate listings for your area will also show you what houses in comparable state, location and build have actually achieved when sold. IHS Realty provides a detailed explanation of other methods which you can easily access and use.
If you can find the value of a home and justify it with your research that will put you in a very strong negotiating position whichever side of the bargaining table you find yourself on.

IHS Realty has pioneered the use of the internet and married this technology with a new approach to selling real estate.
Traditional real estate agents charge a commission which can cost the home sellers as much as 7% of the value of the home and brings a bundle of services that a seller may not want or ever use.
IHS Realty provides a flat fee menu of services where a seller selects and pays only for those services that they require or feel is effective while maintaining control of the real estate transaction.
IHS Realty also provides full support to ensure that a seller and buyer are able to close a real estate transaction smoothly and simply while saving thousands of commission dollars.
