Compare Southern California Home Buyers Vs. Traditional Agent Listing
Selling a home in Southern California with a realtor is not always easy or the best option!
Often realtors lock home sellers into a listing agreement. You grant them the exclusive right to sell your home to a realtor, and you have to pay the 6% commission even when the realtor doesn’t help you find the right buyer.
But Stars and Stripes Real Estate offers a better and more transparent home-selling process. We help you sell your home quickly with zero repairs and agent fees.
