It’s no secret that real estate commissions are in a downward spiral. One of the biggest challenges for most realtors is defending their fee. With the surge in popularity of discount brokerages, realtors often find themselves under tremendous pressure to lower their commission just to compete.
Not the case for Kevin Flaherty! Kevin has been with Success for over 10 years and has some excellent advice on how to win more listings with online tools and completely dominate you market.

Impression? very amatuerish production with a stumbling interviewer and far to many uncertain ‘um’s and ‘er’s as responses from KF.
After being in RE for 40 years [ the last 34 with Remax in Toronto] I’ve realized that ALL Vendor/sellers have the identical objective: simply to get the Highest Possible Price, in a Reasonable Length of Time, with the Fewest Problems! No more, no less. The greatest difficulty is to PROVE to a Seller that the elaborate listing/marketing process will guarantee a higher net figure. I’m typing while I listen and you mention ‘one man outfits’ as if TREB doesn’t exist. I guess I’m questioning what percentage of your own listings do you sell? Oops… you just answered my question; you don’t often double-end many deals. But yes, agreed, one does has to ‘list to last’. Regards R.
