Team with Apex and Save! Apex Team Real Estate is a Full Service company that now offers ALL the services you’ve come to expect when selling, buying, or renting your home but now at a reduced rate without ANY reduced services. We offer a professionally staffed office open at least six days a week with a staff of Experienced and Professional agents that are always Available.

As a 56 year native of the Beaufort and Port Royal, SC area, I’ve been in the real estate business all of my professional life since the eighties, first as a custom home builder working hand in hand with Sing Pappas, a top producing real estate agent with Weichert Realtors over the past 30 plus years, and over the past 12 years as a real estate agent, now Broker/Owner of Apex Team Real Estate.

I know the area, I know the market, and I know how to get your home sold in the shortest amount of time, at the best price, with the least inconvenience to you!

     Save Thousands Selling your home with our 50% reduced 1.5% Listing Commission:

Listing commissions are set by individual brokers and there is no standard listing commission. However, most sellers pay 3% to real estate companies to list their home for sale. In order to earn your business, generate buyers, and get your home sold, I’ve decided to offer an option for Sellers to pay 50% of the most common listing commission, saving Sellers thousands of dollars with absolutely NO SACRIFICE OF SERVICE!

We are not a Flat Rate Discount Broker offering a $1,999.00 special with what are described as “only subtle changes in service.” We do not post your name and number on the internet having you take the calls and schedule showings to people you assume are agents. We do not use generic lock boxes with codes where there is no tracking of who enters your home at any time. We are FULL SERVICE BROKERS who sell your home professionally!

     Save Hundreds or Thousands Buying your home with our $500 to $6,000 credit at closing:

Based on the sales price of the home you purchase using Apex Team Real Estate, we’ll pay from $500 to $6,000 of your allowable closing cost or prepaid items. This allows the Buyer to either save out of pocket cost or buy the home at a lower price. As an example, for a $250,000 home, Apex Team will credit the Buyer $1,250 and for a $500,000, the credit will be $2,500. Working with experienced and professional agents is a valuable benefit in itself that may not be realized until a problem arises. Apex Team agents are Available, Professional and Experienced!

     Price, Condition, and Exposure sells homes:

Exposure is our Specialty! 50 Quality Pictures and 800 words of Descriptive Remarks of the home and the community are guaranteed for each listing. I take great pride in the work I do to professionally market your home and get it seen by today’s demanding internet buyers. If the buyer does not have the information they want at the click of their mouse, they move on.

The truth is that all real estate agents have most of the same tools at their disposal and it comes down to how skilled they are, how they use them, and how hard they’re willing to work. Once pictures, remarks, and other information is loaded into the multiple listing service, the information is automatically fed to Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, and all of the multiple internet search engines. It’s what you put in that’s what the consumer sees.

In addition to the free exposure, we enhance our internet presence on major internet search engines to better expose your home and generate buyers for your home. Our ForSaleInBeaufort.com website generates many potential buyers for your home as well with buyers who sign up and search on their own until they want a real estate agent and send request for information.

Price another factor in selling your home. Market Value is based on the most recent comparable sales over the past year and really has little to do with what a homeowner paid for their home. We work with our clients to determine market value and generate an acceptable listing that will get your home shown. If a home is overpriced, the buyer who will see it is looking for more and the buyer who would buy it, won’t see it because it’s overpriced. We list at the price requested by the Seller after advising what price we fell will generate traffic and offers for their home.

Condition is the final factor of selling a home. Some conditions can be changed easily and some simply don’t make sense based on cost or even eliminating potential buyers. We meet with our sellers and develop a plan to optimize the condition of a home without wasting the seller’s money or eliminating potential buyers.

     The truth you can handle; It’s a Win-Win:

How can Apex Team Real Estate offer what no one else in the business is offering? The truth is that we want more business and are willing to take less to get your business. More listings get us more buyers. We believe it’s a Win-Win. You save money while getting the best service available and we grow our business by providing excellence of service at a more affordable rate. Everybody Wins!
