Philadelphia’s Local Realtor Christopher Orth
recognized as an Accredited Home-Staging Specialist and is awarded the AHS Designation. Philadelphia’s Local Realtor Christopher Orth
recognized as an Accredited Home-Staging Specialist and is awarded the AHS Designation.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 4, 2008 - Christopher Orth, a member of Coldwell Banker Diamond, Realtors was recently awarded the Accredited Home-Staging Specialist (AHS) designation. Orth joins a select and growing group of real estate agents who have recognized the importance of providing this value-added service to their clients. In today's increasingly competitive real estate market, these trained agents set themselves apart by helping homeowners market and showcase their homes for maximum impact to potential buyers.

Orth earned the AHS designation by completing the prescribed coursework and completing an end-of-course competency-based test. The Accredited Home-Staging Course is designed to provide agents with the tools and knowledge they need to effectively stage a home for a faster sale and higher sales price. In fact, research has shown that properly staged homes sell for 5% more on average than non-staged homes and sell approximately 2-3 weeks faster.

Armed with the AHS designation and an increased awareness of the principles of staging, real estate professionals such as Christopher Orth are immediately able to better serve their current and prospective home sellers. This knowledge sets the individuals who have attained the AHS apart from their peers, because it gives them the tools to be able to assess a homeowner’s property and then stage that property to maximize appeal and speed the sales process, often with little or no expenditures or financial investment of their own.

My sellers agent says you can only buy a house in PA (if it is listed with an agent) through a agent

Asked Tue Jul 29 2008, 14:00 by John - Home Buying in Philadelphia - 11 answers

Christopher Orth answered:

John,

When the home is listed with an Realtor, it is usually listed for 5-7% of the sales price. That commission is usually then Split between the Listing and Buyer's Agent and their companies. If the Listing Agent brings the buyer, he then keeps the entire commission. You are hoping to avoid the 2.5% that the Buyer's agent would then recieve from the Listing Company for bringing the buyer to their listing. However, the seller is already in contract with the Listing Company for the 5-7% and paying that amount.

Your best way to save the 2.5% - 3.5% would be to hire an Experienced Agent (who you do not have to pay- the Listing Company will compensate the commission) that will usually be able to negoitate the asking price down to the correct price. If the asking price is in the right price range then you have to make the decision if you really want the property.

If you need an Realtor that would be able to assist you in your neighborhood, you can contact me or visit my website for additional information.

Hope this helps!
