Spring is soon to Blossom and with that comes an even busier Real Estate Season! With that in mind, combined with the fact that we are CELEBRATING our 5th Year as an Independent Brokerage Office – I am passing along the potential SAVINGS TO YOU!!
So you may ask … What Is a Flat Rate Fee Promotion? This promotion allows for you as the Home Owner looking to SELL a property by LISTING the home with me for a FLAT RATE, designated by the List Price as indicated in the image (or otherwise agreed). The flat fee is for the LISTING SERVICES as provided by me, with a full-service listing into our MLS and website feeds, professional REALTOR representation thru-out the process (showing requests, open houses, contract negotiations, inspections, appraisal and to the closing) without any waiver of duties. While this certainly helps to control your costs for the listing, there is still an “assumption” of cooperation with a Buyer’s Agent, as is one of the requirements for a listing to be entered into the Realtor MLS service.
This is an offer that is LIMITED ONLY to the Broker, Tammy Murphy – as this is her independent brokerage office and she is able to reduce her fee for service as a promotional offer for her company. LIMITED TIME PROMOTION is good NOW thru April 30, 2018 to increase listing inventory and assist Seller’s who have otherwise looked into the lower cost approach of a For Sale By Owner or Discount Service. We understand that there are financial decisions to be considered when needing to sell your home. We want to provide a better opportunity for YOU while not having you jeopardize your rights as a SELLER to have professional representation.
R H 2 L is a locally owned, full-service real estate office. We follow all rules and regulations as required by laws governing real estate standards and common practices, including but not limited to Fair Housing Compliance.

As Realtors, we work with a LOT of Lenders. It is difficult to just say one lender can do everything – so it is critical for us to be familiar with and work with all lenders for all the variety of loans and programs that they represent. Each of our client’s needs are different and having the right fit with a lender is just as important as finding the right place to call HOME! That being said, we are proud to introduce you to Movement Mortgage.
“We exist to love and value people by leading a movement of change in our Industry, Corporate Cultures and Communities.”
John Wagner with Movement Mortgage, has been diligent about sharing what loan programs they have – as well as their business plan for how they want to work with our clients. Obviously, the “PROOF” always remains in the pudding (in our case, with the results of our buyers getting the loan that works best for them and closing ON TIME or AHEAD OF SCHEDULE). For sure, we know that John and his team will be dedicated to working with our clients in getting them APPROVED for a Loan and / or working the path of necessary credit repair to get them ready to BUY when the time is right. A Lender who is willing to put the time in to work with clients is ALWAYS top for our referrals.

Wiring Funds for your upcoming closing on a home may seem like a simple process – but BEWARE and take precautions as this has become a potenital for scammers to steal your money. ALWAYS CALL YOUR REALTOR AND TITLE COMPANY AND BANK TO ENSURE INFORMATION. Email wiring instructions should NOT BE TRUSTED without CONFIRMATION.
The new consumer protection rules and lender laws we have in place STILL could have some issues for you as the Buyer or Seller to be informed about; especially because so much of our business is being done over the internet with technology apps and emails. One thing that we like to make sure our client’s are aware of – is that WIRING INSTRUCTIONS are NOT LIKELY TO CHANGE – so while we meet in person and discuss things, depending on the title company that has been selected – we often have those wiring instructions in our hands and can provide directly to you. This helps to ensure that your email communication discussing the potential for closing, wire instructions or other key phrases cannot be picked up on my some SCAMMER out there. If you DO receive WIRE INSTRUCTIONS via email (from your Realtor or the Title Company or the Lender) it is ALWAYS a good safety precaution to CALL THAT PERSON DIRECTLY and ask if they had sent the information…I would encourage you to go as far as reading the wiring instructions exactly to them to ensure NOTHING WAS CHANGED or HACKED.
The idea of wiring funds – SHOULD give a peace of mind, as you are controlling the funds coming out of your account and going directly into the account that is required (closing / title company) as procedure in our area. HOWEVER, since many times we all get busy and something else comes up that requires our attention, we can forget that we already received a document or where we filed it – and now that it is time to make the transfer – you could inadvertently pull the SCAM message instead. Once you hit send – those funds are GONE and trying to track it down after the fact is going to be a nightmare NONE OF US want to be involved with, and you certainly do not want to loose out on the purchase / sale of your home because someone SCAMMED YOU.
National Title Company also has this helpful list of precautions – if you are looking to buy or sell property – you will want to BE INFORMED of this procedure and precautions you may want to take to protect yourself, your funds and your property. BEWARE of WIRE FRAUD

Congratulations to our Broker, Tammy Murphy, for earning another designation to further her business … She is at the top of the top and continues to rise!
Being a part of the Women’s Council of Realtors has been such an amazing experience. New friends, new tools to utilize and new opportunities to grow. I LOVE IT when great minds in the business come together and can learn from each other, share in the strengths and struggles and still have FUN. I am super excited that I quickly earned the Performance Management Network (PMN) designation and look forward to all the new opportunities that brings!
