You've arrived! 
If you listen to Clark Howard
, you know there are many different real estate business models for home sellers in our area. I want you to know about my enhanced "full service", because I create a significantly higher level of Internet exposure than you will find elsewhere in Atlanta real estate. My commission is low, (only 4.12%) but my service is extraordinary. If you came to this web page from some exotic place and want to start at the beginning, visit my primary web page www.housespoken.com.

 How I offer lower commissions... 

Franchise realtors®
must include their exorbitant infrastructure costs in their commissions. I am affiliated with the independent Drake Realty of Greater Atlanta, inc. Drake offers extraordinary services for qualified real estate agents, while charging low office fees - allowing me to pass on these savings to my clients.
Large commissions
have less to do with marketing your house, and are more about preserving an outdated, pre-Internet business model. Do you really want to pay for a crew of part time assistants who run the business for an agent who spends every working hour marketing themselves? When it takes a week to call for feedback, your listing is entered incorrectly, your agent is never available for a conversation, you have no virtual tour, why are you paying 6-7% sales commission? 
Why you owe it to yourself to interview me..
 
Selling your home in our current environment is challenging. Creativity, realistic pricing, and Internet driven marketing are key to finding the buyer for your home. Print advertising is dead. Targeted keyword rich online ads on multiple sites make my listings more competitive; your home will stand out because I know how to put your home on the front page of Google so that it will be found by web savvy buyers using organic search words. I advertise on multiple alternative Internet real estate listing web sites and you pay only 4.12% total sales commission! 

You need a REALTOR® who has HUGE INTERNET VISIBILITY!  Buyers and sellers find me and my listings through advertising on The Atlanta Journal, Kudzu, Craigslist Atlanta, and many other high traffic sites. Just key my name into Google, "Gena Beach" and you will see the many ways I promote my listings. I have over 70 relevant domain names redirected to this site. Ask me for the list!  

Gena Beach's 150 Point Marketing and Promotion Plan© for your north Atlanta Georgia home has all the details about my service - please contact me for your copy. Read my marketing plan, and I think you'll agree, this is the best real estate low fee commission plus service deal in the north Atlanta market. For more information about the selling process, please visit the home selling advice section.  If you ever have questions about your local market, do not hesitate to call  (770-265-8652) or email: gbeach@bellsouth.net
