Hey there, savvy homeowners and real estate enthusiast Welcome back to the painless flipping channel. I’m Nathan Payne. And today I’ve got a particularly cool episode for you. It’s about empowering you, the homeowner with knowledge and choices when it comes to selling your property.
A friend of mine was thinking about listing his house with a real estate agent, and he was ready to pay a hefty commission of 3%. For the convenience, that would be around $15,000, he’d be willing to pay an agent just to list his house, that’s when I had a heart to heart with him. I said, hey, you’ve got options.
Let’s explore them together. Of course, I could list his house and charge him a consulting fee if I wanted. But that’s not how I like to operate. I believe in transparency. And in laying out all the possibilities on the table. It’s important to me that people I work with know they have choices and control over their decisions.
There’s absolutely no pressure to work with me. And there shouldn’t be any pressure to work with you. If you’re a real estate investor, a real estate agent, my role in your role, you’re here to help people and support them through the decision making process and help them choose what option is best for them. With that philosophy in mind.
What I do with my friend is we sat down together and we looked into a DIY approach to real estate listings using bachelor leads, which is the software I use to pinpoint accurate comps and to look at other data and also using broker lists.com, which is a platform where you can list a house on the MLS yourself without being a real estate agent, we discovered that this would only cost $99 For him to list his house versus spending about 15,000 Just for him to list the property that’s not including with the buyer’s Commission, which would be another 3% or 15,000.
My friend, instead of spending about 30,000 to sell his house, he’s going to be able to save at least 15,000 Because he’s probably going to still have to pay a buyer’s commission. But 15,000 is a lot. Now look, in this video, you’re going to see exactly how he did it. I’m going to show you step by step how I walked my friend through how we looked at batch leads to see what his house was worth and how he went to broker lists.com.
And I showed him where he could go to list his house, I’m going to be giving you the knowledge so you can replicate this process for your own home sale.

So you can save money and maintain full control over your sale. Let’s check out how I showed him how he can list his house and how you can do it too. I was just having lunch with my boy Jordan waiver and we grew up together. And we we went on a mission for our church together. So he’s telling me he has a townhouse he wants to sell. And he’s thinking about paying a real estate agent 3% I said, bro, you can do it yourself using batch leads and broker list.com.
Alright, so Jordan, what are you going to do? Right? Here’s batch leads, I want you to type in your address right there in the batch leads. Okay, so what I’m showing with Jordan rate waiver right here is we’re going to use batch leads, because we love bachelors, we’re going to see what his house is valued at.
This is just an evaluation. It’s not like, hey, the 100% like this is it. It’s an algorithm right batches using information just sold properties to see what the home is worth, we’re gonna see. So I’m going to say, Hey, this is potentially what your house is worth, we can look at comps, and this is how you’re going to list it, our Jordan. So right here, this is your property. So you go here, you click, we’re going to click right here on the batch leads.
And this is going to kind of give us some details on what your property’s worth. And by the way, this is just a, like I said, it’s an algorithm. All it’s doing is it’s going to the comparables of houses in your area that are similar for the one to your house, your townhome and it’s saying what it thinks it’s worth, I’ll show you if you go here. Have you ever heard of batch leads? No. Heard of it. So batch leads is a software it gives you a lot of data.
So Jordan, basically what this is saying is it’s like hey, what townhomes have sold in this area within a mile and it basically breaks down what it thinks your property’s worth. And you can see some of the comparables down there. It pulls it really quick. So what a realtor says that they can do this just whipped it out in seconds.
So this says that your estimated value, your townhome is 44 We obviously can dive a little bit deeper into it, but let’s just say it’s worked for 84 Okay, cool. So thanks to batch you’re able to get the information quick and then broker list.com You have an option to list the property yourself for $99 by by owner, but it’s on the market and you get up to six months six photos on MLS if you go 149 That’s when I paid for is 149 when I did it 25 photos, so you just get someone to take some nice professional photos, it goes on the MLS just like as a real estate agent did it and instead of putting your number on there to take the calls instead of the showings my brother in law when I worked with him, he just put my phone number and I facilitated everything.
So that’s simple, bro, you just pay 140 999 bucks and then you save 3% So that’s 14,520 bucks that you would pay to someone just to put it on the market for you to put it on when you could do it yourself. Right I hope that was helpful and showed you how you can list your own home so you can avoid payments hefty real estate commissions when in all reality. You can do it yourself or you can reach out to me and I’ll help you out through the process for a lot lot cheaper than 3% see on the next video and share this if this was helpful.
