HERE IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING AND SAVING WITH     FLAT FEE REAL ESTATE "Working with Rob was an absolute pleasure - he was not only easy to talk to, but a knowledgable straight-shooter who very clearly had my best interests at heart. He wasn't simply the typical "yes man" agent - he gave fair and intelligent critiques throughout the process, obviously knew the business inside and out, and even caught several incorrect charges that the closing lawyer barely understood. Last but not least, his flat fee structure saved me several thousand dollars. I can't imagine using anyone else, and heartily recommend Rob to anyone looking to purchase a home!" - Timothy Curtin, Buyer - REFUNDED $3,980 AT CLOSING. "Rob Foley’s process, market knowledge and attention to detail as it related to the sale of my apartment building was above and beyond the call of duty. He priced our property and then was intimately involved with the negotiations for its sale. Because of Rob, my partner and I received in excess of $70,000.00 more than we expected at the start of the listing process. Rob guided us thru many issues using his legal background . We are 100% satisfied with Rob’s work and the end result. We have bought and sold over 15 properties in the last 5 years and after using Rob for this closing will be using Rob exclusively in the future. Technology , interest and attention to the market are very important to us." - Allen Nassif, Seller - SAVED $23,000 IN COMMISSIONS “I would highly recommend Rob to anyone looking to purchase real estate in Vermont. He was exactly what I was looking for in a Real Estate agent: Responsive, highly knowledgeable on the in’s and out’s of the Vermont market, detail oriented and self motivated to take care of all of the little details. Of course, the fixed-fee commission structure is a great added bonus to help pay for those closing costs, but this doesn’t mean you are on your own! Rob took the time to walk through all of my options and suggested possible alternatives in structuring the offer. He provided at least the level of service I would have expected from a full-cost Agent and proved to be more competent and knowledgeable than the selling Agent on the property!" Christopher Ling, Buyer - REFUNDED $2,550 AT CLOSING "Flat Fee Real Estate sold my house in one of the most challenging housing market conditions we may ever see at a higher price than I expected.  I don't know what else to say, results always speak for themselves, but as the real estate market conditions worsened, Rob Foley worked harder, longer and more diligently to help me prepare my property, list it efficiently, and put in a huge amount of time and effort with what proved to be a difficult closing.  The one-fee model is the wave of the future in real estate brokerage services.  It put Rob on my side and with my best interests in mind with complete attention to detail and service that I would not have found from a full commission broker.  I recommend Rob's services and will use them again myself. Regardless of market conditions, he knows how to get the job done and get results." - James Brunger, Seller - SAVED $7,800 IN COMMISSIONS "I was looking for a condominium/house to buy on my own, viewing the MLS listings.  I had contacted Rob about one of his listings and found him to be very amenable to my independent style...As an added bonus, he only charges one fixed fee for any real estate  transaction, rather than a percentage.  I found Rob to be very straight forward and easy to work with." Katherine Merrill, Buyer -REFUNDED $1,980 AT CLOSING "Dear Rob, I just can't thank you enough!   Yes, you sold my condo in a market that was becoming more and more unfavorable for the seller.  But more so, you took the time to make me a partner in the project -- keeping me informed, welcoming my phone calls, and helping me think through important decisions.   Since I was out of town, it was important to me to have someone I could trust implicitly.  I have to say that at every turn, I felt that you had my back.  You didn't just look out for my interests, you seemed to anticipate roadblocks and take care of them before they happened.   I describe my experience in working with you like having a brother I could count on.  And I mean that completely.   With your thumb on the pulse of the housing market and the ins and outs of the legal features of buying and selling, you offered smart advise on pricing the condo and the length of time it would likely take to sell.  You also helped me think about how to present my condo in the best possible light.  And I have to mention that you even helped me find someone to move my stuff at the point you found a buyer!  Then, at the closing, well, there you were again, having reviewed all the paper work and advising me on legal matters big and small.  I just could not believe my good fortune!   Rob, above all, you are one of the nicest guys around.  I wish I had another piece of property to sell.  Until then, I wish you great success."   Brenda Solomon - Seller, SAVED $6,620 on the Sale "Working with Rob at Flat Fee Real Estate was such a positive experience for me. He sold my condo within weeks of it being on the market and then helped me close on my new condo. He made the whole process very quick and smooth. Flat Fee Real Estate far exceeded all my prior real estate experiences."   Shelley Fillion - Buyer and Seller, SAVED $4,014 on the Sale and REFUNDED $3,750 on the Purchase. "We recently had the experience of using Rob Foley of Flat Fee Real Estate for both the sale of our home and the purchase of a new one.  Having both sold and bought homes on our own and through traditional real estate agents, I speak from experience when I say that Flat Fee Real Estate is the only way to go!  One obvious reason is the incredible savings.  As compared to traditional realtor's fees, we saved literally thousands of dollars on the sale of our home.  Just as important to us however, the lower fees enabled us to price our house much more competitively.  In a market where it typically took months to sell a home, we had two good offers in two days, one of which was full price!  Anyone who has had numerous agents and prospective buyers trooping through their home for months on end can surely appreciate a shorter market time.  We were also very satisfied using Flat Fee for the purchase of our new home.  The additional thousands back at closing really helped offset the inevitable extra expenses one has in setting up a new household.  On a more personal note, Rob Foley is a genuinely nice guy and a pleasure to work with.  He is serious about getting the job done, yet remains flexible and accommodating in suiting the specific needs of his clients.  In addition, his background and knowledge in real estate law was an added bonus one does not expect in an agent.  I would not hesitate to recommend Flat Fee Real Estate, and it will be our only choice for any future real estate transactions!" Nancy MacGregor - Buyer and Seller, SAVED $8,550 on the Sale and REFUNDED $7,125 on the Purchase   "Flat Fee and Rob Foley did an incredible job helping us to sell our condo and to buy a new house. In such a unfavorable Real Estate Market, they listed our condo and managed to sell it within three days. With Rob’s help and advice we were able to find and buy an amazing house. Having Flat Fee as our agents we have saved over $6,000 in commission fees. This is the best service you can get and we would recommend Flat Fee and Rob Foley to everyone looking to sell or buy a house. Dzeraldina and Zoran Zigic- Buyers and Sellers, SAVED $2,740 on the Sale and REFUNDED $4,424 on the Purchase   "Working with Rob was terrific. We listed our condo with him in a very competitive market, and in ten days we had three competing full-price-plus offers. Rob provided us with listing and pricing guidance, arranged for a listing video, and as we left Vermont before our closing, sheparded us through all of the final details leading to settlement. Although his "flat-fee" contract meant he would earn considerably less when our property sold than he would have under a traditional percentage based arrangement, we never experienced any reduced commitment, professionalism, or service. I would highly recommend Rob to anyone selling or buying real estate. His flat-fee concept means that he has an equal interest in every transaction, and in our experience, the quality of his services was everything we could have expected."   Sandra Dombro- Seller, SAVED $7,722 on the Sale "Flat Fee Real Esatate was extremely easy to work with and truly provides all the services of other real estate agencies, from the search for our perfect home all the way to the day we closed! Our wonderful experience with Flat Fee Real Estate was made even sweeter by walking away from closing with a check in our hands instead of paying more out of our pocket to our realtor!" Mark and Tomi Pogacts - Buyers, REFUNDED $6,468 on the Purchase   "We recently purchased our home with the help of Rob Foley of Flat Fee Real Estate.  We knew what we wanted in a home and Rob supported us at every step to make sure we got it.  He never tried to get us to settle for less. Rob has an relaxed, informal, no pressure attitude that was easy to work with.  He knew the market, offered advise and ensured we got the best deal we could get.  The flat fee model sounds too good to be true, but it is real and it works."    Maureen McShane and David Papillo - Buyers, REFUNDED $13,233 on the Purchase "I had a wonderful experience with Flat Fee Real Estate.  Paying a known price for realty services makes a lot of sense to me and helped in final price negotiations.  I received excellent service and am a happy new home owner."
