Is your For Sale by Owner real estate course really free?

Yes! The basic online course, weekly "Office Hours" webinar meetings, and coaching calls are offered free of charge. No strings attached.

That would simply be against every principal we stand for. In the near future, we will expand our free online courses to include: a buyer's course, an investor's course, and a real estate agent training course (the real estate industry needs real estate agents that have Client 1st Mentality not focused on how much gross commission income they can earn in a year rather on how much equity they can help a seller retain through reduced real estate commission fees).

Why does Right Price Real Estate Group offer their real estate courses for free?

Back in March, 2018, Right Price Real Estate Group founder, Rich Schaefer and his wife, sold their personal home from an outlying smaller remote community to relocate to Oregon's capital city, Salem. This relocation would allow for better business growth and opportunities for success. Even though Rich was an independent brokerage (with no agents), he was "urged" by the Oregon Real Estate Agency to list with a real estate agent (to mitigate the chances of a buyer claiming he took advantage of them during a sale). Even though he held on offer for $20,000 more than his asking price (from an open house he conducted the day before---Sunday), he heeded the advice of the Oregon Real Estate Agency and hired a local real estate broker. Rich and his wife lost about $11,000 in equity value do to paying real estate commissions. Rich has been on a mission to help property owners retain their hard-earned equity since his property closed escrow.

How does Right Price Real Estate Group make money if they give their real estate course away for free?

We offer additional services which may be beneficial to home sellers when selling for sale by owner. These services include: posting to the local as well as nationwide multiple listing service. Syndicating your FSBO property to websites that buyers expect to find properties listed for sale (Zillow, Redfin, etc). Sending out "New on the Market" or "Open House" postcards to the nearest 100 homeowners in your neighborhood (so they can let their friends, relatives, family, and co-workers know your home is for sale). These services are low cost and designed to create maximum marketing exposure (as well as save the FSBO home seller time) to get the home sold quickly.

What is this Client 1st Mentality?

At Right Price Real Estate Group, we are very deliberate in how we treat and offer services to our clients. We want to build a real estate business that people will be glad to recommend to their friends, family, and, relatives and co-workers. Historically, about 75% of home sellers will repurchase another property. At Right Price Real Estate Group, our goal is to provide such an indepth, professional and easy For Sale by Owner experience, that our home seller clients will trust us to get them ready to purchase their next property and allow us to help select a real estate agent (that mirrors our values) to assist them in purchasing their next property. Full disclosure: This is our main strategy to make income as the agent that gets our referral will then pay us a portion of the real estate commission they earn when they help you purchase and close on a property. Zig Ziglar said "You can have whatever you need, the key is simply helping enough people get what they need." Sounds simple enough to me!
