Suum's expert lawyers partner with local counsel to abrogate the need for a real estate agent; delivering better service and significant savings.
In a typical real estate transaction, a seller may agree to hire a real estate agent to sell their home for a 5% commission. Upon sale, that commission is then divided, with selling agent and their broker retaining a portion (usually 50%), and the remaining portion offered to the buyer's agent.
Suum's attorneys can facilitate your transaction in such a way that you can offer your property for less, and still walk away with more money. Rather than offering the buyer's agent a commission, Suum empowers you to offer a flat fee to a buyer's agent, saving you thousands.When a property is sold through a real estate agent, the commissions for both the buyers agent and the sellers agent are paid for by the seller. Sellers are, in effect, paying for someone to negotiate against them.
Compare a real estate agent's sale to a sale made through Suum:

-Total commission: $25k ($12,500 to selling agent/brokerage; $12,500 to buyers' agent).
-Sellers post-commission proceeds: $475,000.
-Buyers total price + agent cost: $500,000.

By listing their property through Suum, the seller nets an additional $13,500 in cash proceeds to their pocket, while the buyer saves $5,000 on their purchase.
Another benefit of selling with Suum is the absence of a middle man – you have legal advice at your fingertips. If you have questions about any aspect of the sales process (disclosures, contract provisions, escrow, ect.) your attorney can provide you with licensed legal guidance, unlike a real estate agent who could offer either an opinion, or consult an attorney and get back to you with their secondhand information.
Our seller packages of services will take you through your transaction every step from A-Z, or browse through our resources and only pay for the select services you need.
That's what we call win-win.
