Level Luxury Real Estate Blazes Trail in Real Estate Market With First Flat-Fee Luxury-Focused Model for Home Sellers


BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwire - Feb 21, 2012) - Level Luxury Real Estate (www.levelrealestate.com) is breaking new ground in the real estate market, with the first flat-fee listing service focused entirely on luxury homes. Designed to meet the needs of high-end sellers, with Certified Luxury Marketing Specialists™ and advantages of a full-service brokerage at a fixed fee, Level also has the flexibility of a money-back guarantee. The first-of-its-kind model is intended to be a smart starting point for home sellers who desire high-touch service without having to overpay to sell their home.

Founder and president Todd Siegel created Level after listing over 9,000 homes since 2005, realizing there was a clear unmet need. "We began to see a category of sellers with high-end homes who require more specialized attention and focused marketing -- yet they prefer not to overpay to sell using the traditional full-commission Realtor model. Their needs were not being met by existing flat-fee options, and we knew we could build a better way. Successful, affluent homeowners should have the ability to sell their homes smarter and avoid the high costs just like everyone else. So we designed Level to be the first place every luxury homeowner should start once they decide to sell their home," said Siegel. "We know that 90 percent of buyers now start their home search online. The Internet and technology have made marketing a home much more cost-effective, and it's time to pass on those efficiencies to more consumers."

Level targets buyers quickly with a combination of exposure on the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS), distribution to hundreds of real estate sites as well as many exclusive luxury sites. Each of three plans offered at a fixed "Level Fee" has features proven to meet the unique needs of high-end sellers and buyers, with plans including certified appraisals, negotiating service, contract review, home warranty, international exposure and professional photography among many others. Also, with an optional showing service, Level caters to out-of-area owners, and anyone who needs or prefers assistance showing their home. Level Clients may cancel at any time without penalty, unlike many other traditional listing agreements. In the event a client decides to list the conventional way, Level assists in switching to an agent of the client's choice and refunds the Level Fee when the home sells.

"There is nothing to lose by trying Level and the potential for huge gain. We may have created the first model where everyone wins -- sellers, buyers and agents. The idea is that if you want to sell your home, why not try Level first. We've made it compelling for sellers to list without committing to a restrictive contract or commission that may be unnecessary; but importantly, our clients receive the high level of personal attention and services they expect, from listing to close," Siegel concluded. Level is currently available for sellers and buyers in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties, with plans to expand nationwide.
