What's the Difference between us and all the other real estate companies in town?

WE CHARGE LESS

THOUSANDS less. That's it. Everything else is pretty much the same.
We are a full-service real estate brokerage and we do everything
you'd expect from a quality real estate company.


WE'RE GOOD AT IT

We're better at selling houses because we actually do it more often.
Practice does make perfect. You really don't want an agent who's figuring this out as he goes along, do you?


OUR GUARANTEE

We are so sure that you'll be pleased that we offer a No-Risk Guarantee - if for any reason you are dissatisfied with the service provided by our agents or our company, we will unconditionally release your listing, no questions asked.


OUR MISSION

We provide FULL-SERVICE real estate brokerage for a low flat fee.
Why pay a 6% or 7% commission when you can get all the
same services at a discount from more experienced agents?

Do the math - the savings are substantial.

On a $250,000 home a 6% commission is $15,000! We'd charge $3,995* to list and sell that same home - a potential savings of over $11,000!

And the higher the price of the home, the greater the savings.

A 6% commission on a $450,000 sale is $27,000 - what could your realtor possibly do that would be worth that expense? Our commission would be $5,995* - a potential savings of over $21,000. Could you make good use of $21,000? Or would you rather pay that to your realtor?

*Fees vary based on the sales price of the property. Call for details.

WHAT WE BELIEVE


Educate, Advise, Protect

Our legal and ethical obligation is to protect your interests, above and beyond all others including our own. Hiring a realtor is a bit like hiring a limited-use attorney, and that's pretty much how we see our job.

We are your advocates. We are hired to negotiate on your behalf - to get you the best possible price under the best possible circumstances.

We want our clients to be able to make educated decisions. Buying or selling a house is probably the biggest financial transaction most of our clients will ever make. We're here to make sure you understand the market, the process, and the options you have available to you. It's your life, they're your decisions. We want to make sure you have all the cards before you play your hand.


Representation

We believe in communication. The more we know about your situation, your wants and needs, the better we can serve you. The more you know about the process, about your position in the market, about what buyers think of your home in comparison to others, the better. Period.

We have never believed in the hard sell — nothing can convince someone to buy a house they do not like. We're here to assure that when you find the right home your purchase decision is stress-free.

We believe our job is to inform and advise so you can make educated decisions. We are here to protect your interests and navigate the transaction through to a successful closing.


Service

We seek the widest possible market and provide the broadest possible exposure for each home when selling, and tailor our search to the individual when working with buyers.

We work as a team - at any time if you can't reach your agent any of the other agents in the company will be able to assist you. No more worrying about what's happening with your listing while your agent is away on a cruise.

We believe real estate is a WIN-WIN business. Our job is to get to the closing table with a happy and satisfied seller and a happy and satisfied buyer. If someone isn't happy, it's on us.


Market Knowledge

The real estate market fluxuates constantly as existing listings sell and new listings come on the market. We strive to keep ourselves AND you fully informed about both the broader market conditions and the goings on in your neighborhood.

As members of the Independent Broker Network, we meet regularly with several other real estate brokerages to understand both our local market, and the changes in state and national regulations which will impact our buyers and sellers.

Because we work with both buyers and sellers, and because we sell such a high volume of homes, we can feel the rise and fall as it happens, see the trends as they develop, and respond more quickly to the benefit of our clients.



OUR EXPERIENCE

Assist 2 Sell Professionals agents typically sell more homes per agent than any other real estate brokerage in the Salt Lake Valley. The average realtor sells fewer than 4 homes per year - our agents sell 25-40 homes per year. Guess who's better at it.

Prior to opening Assist 2 Sell Professionals, the owners, Fred and Jan Lowe, worked for almost 9 years with Plumb & Co. Realtors and before that were with Lewis, Wolcott & Dornbush - now Summit Sothebys - both small, highly-professional, 'boutique' real estate agencies.

Fred and Jan have worked as full-time professional realtors in Salt Lake City since 1991. Fred received his first real estate license in 1981 and worked in real estate in Vermont and Wyoming before coming to Utah.

Fred has a lifetime of experience as a roofer, electrician, and plumber and over the years has remodeled and restored many homes and apartment buildings. His experience in and with the construction trades is invaluable to the homebuyer, and as the middle of 3 sons he's a natural-born negotiator.

Jan grew up in Salt Lake City. She graduated from the U in History and prior to working in real estate her professional background was in writing, marketing, and computers. Jan's focus is on marketing homes for sale. She's a numbers girl - she likes to make sure her gut instinct is backed up with actual research. She's a bit of a suit, even though she usually wears jeans.

Shawnee Cooper worked with Equity Real Estate for 7 years before coming to Assist 2 Sell Professionals. Shawnee is our Davis County expert, working with both buyers and sellers. Shawnee is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, but don't let that fool you, she's sharp as a knife and never lets a significant detail slide past unnoted.

David Kevitch came to Assist 2 Sell Professionals after 18 years with Chapman Richards, a well-respected locally owned real estate brokerage. Dave works with both buyers and sellers, rides in bike races, and is a working musician and photographer in his free time. Dave brings huge positive energy and a net-savvy groove to his work.
