Re: Limited Listing To Whom it may Concern:
I personally wanted everyone to know how well Tom Goebel's deep discount $600 limited listing worked for my wife and myself.
As a bank trust department administrator since 1988, I have sold many houses for many clients working with dozens of Realtors and lawyers. When I was promoted and moved to Grand Rapids, we had a difficult time seilling our Traverse City home. We went through two good Realtors over one year, then I asked my good friend, Tom Goebel, who has been in the real estate business near Detroit for over 30 years, if I could somehow get on the "multi list" without listing my house with a local broker.
Tom offered to put our home onto the multi list in Traverse City, 200 miles distant from Mr. Goebel, for $600 plus an offering to the selling broker, if any. This Allowed Diane and I to find a buyer ourselves while still keeping the house on the "open market". Indeed it sold through a local broker in two weeks! We saved 3% on $200,000 or $6,000 less the $600 fee to net a $5,400 savings.
As I have negotiated and sold so many properties in the past, I felt that my wife and I did not need all of the real estate services that typical local listing brokers provide. If I did need extra help and advice, Tom's hourly rate would have been a bargain, saving perhaps $4,000. For ourselves, we were very pleased with the $5,400 savings and would recommend Tom Goebel to help solve anyone's real estate problems.
