Homeowners Save Money with New Breed of REALTOR®

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct 12, 2009 -
Ottawa, Ontario – Ottawa Real Estate Brokerage Ziglu Inc. (www.ziglu.com) has successfully introduced a direct model in the real estate industry, where home SELLERS can choose the level of service they need and the commission they want to pay and where home BUYERS get a cash reward that recognizes their efforts and participation in finding their next home.  

“Our Ziglu website has several client testimonials which show our model works” said Gilles Ménard, Broker of Record for Ziglu Inc. “We have spent considerable time and money listening to our clients and building interactive tools which show exactly how much a homeowner can save, or how much money a buyer can get, when buying/selling a home.”

For as little as $500, Ziglu will list a seller’s home on the MLS® system and provide REALTOR® representation – something that may appeal to homeowners in Ottawa who are currently selling privately as a FSBO (e.g. ForSaleByOwner).  These homeowners can then add expertise of an experienced REALTOR® along with the added marketing exposure only the Multiple Listing Services (MLS®) will provide.

“We took it upon ourselves to drive transparency in the real estate model, empowering the clients with options that retain their equity” said Ménard. “Given the recent economic conditions, people are willing to try new options that show value, so long as it maintains expected service levels – with Ziglu we have done this and have several Ottawa clients to show for it.”

By visiting the Ziglu website in a no hassle, non-pressure approach, homeowners or prospective buyers can select specific service levels they want from Ziglu as their REALTOR®, selecting various packages depending on their unique needs where they instantly see what they save if they do some of the work themselves.
