- Better Pricing on Sole Listings: On our Sole Listing Agreement, we have lowered the real estate commission rate to 3% of the purchase price from the established market rate of 5%. This 40% reduction from the prevailing market commission amounts, on an average home, to a saving of more than $20,000.

- Better Pricing on Property Advertisements: If you choose to sell your own home using our Advertising Plan, you can avoid paying real estate commission altogether! If you printed a couple of color photos in a newspaper, it could easily cost $500 per insertion! Compare this price to the online availability 24/7 of multiple color photos and you'll agree that our monthly advertising plan offers great value …
- Extensive Marketing: Our marketing plan concentrates on attracting visitors to our website where they can view properties just like yours. We spend thousands of advertising dollars every month in the major Bermuda publications and, when appropriate, in U.S., Canadian and U.K. journals and magazines. In addition to traditional media advertising, we undertake extensive direct marketing campaigns to promote awareness of our site and services to reach the broadest possible buyer market …
- Direct Marketing: When selling your home the key task for your estate agent is to tell as many people about your property, as quickly as possible.

- Amazing Photography: A picture is worth a thousand words. Our in-house team of professionals processes every new property and has it on the website usually within 48 hours …
- Accurate Valuation: When you list your property with My-Bermuda-House, we will prepare a free Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to help you arrive at a good estimate of market value by using recent sales data. The CMA will allow you to assess the value of your property based on the sale of comparable properties across the island. It will show the range of prices for similar homes and guide you to the proper listing price. We can also arrange a formal valuation of your property by our accredited Property Appraiser…
- Expert Guidance: We work closely with you to keep you informed of inquiries about your property and we make recommendations to increase the salability of your home. We advise you step by step of the process involved in negotiating and accepting offers. We remain involved and assist in every aspect of your transaction. We facilitate the closing by working with banks, lawyers, appraisers, mortgage companies and others with whom we have professional relationships. Given the choice, most consumers prefer the convenience of one stop shopping for their real estate needs …
- Save Time and Stress: We understand that keeping your home in “show condition”, leaving home every time an agent wants to show it, and having hoards of people traipsing through are real inconveniences. We know you don't want to be swamped with people who are not serious prospects. Our website gives prospects a much better idea of your home than other real estate agencies, thereby eliminating people for whom your home is not a good fit. And we interview people who request an appointment to confirm their financial resources and confirm your home is a good fit before we bring anyone into your home.
