Our Goal: To present a "Better Way To Real Estate" ™ all in "One Real Estate Universe"™ and with that, a star was born.   Our brokers simply support the efforts of a team of super agents and we allow those super agents to work with "Test Drive"; For Sale By Owners (FSBO); Flat Rate ($99.95); CO/OP; Discount and Traditional "Full Service" clients to structure the fair deal based upon your buying needs and/or Selling Posture™!

Our Clear and Transparent Policy:  In this market, agents can't feed their families; owners can't sell or rent their properties and the old dinosaurs (Brokers) keep 90% of the first month's rent and even more of the sales commission.  That stops today! 

Sales:  We start by figuring out were you are in your situation - your selling posture™.  In fact, we do not have to list your home on the MLS for us to work for and with you!  Now that's different!  No haggling and no hassles.  We promise that just as our image conveys,  "We will place you in control and in the driver's seat."  We have only one rule for homes on the low to mid range of the market: That the seller pays at least an incentive of 3% to the buying agent.  This policy can be waived, based upon the financial needs of the seller and selling price of the home as rates do vary for Distinctive Properties.  See your Real Estate Agent Test Drive agent for additional details.

Jacksonville Rentals and Full Service Jacksonville Property Management:  We pay a 30% rental commission to our agents and reciprocating agents and brokers of external brokerages (You Do The Math), which drives more traffic to your front door; acts as a performance incentive; gives agents a fighting chance to earn fair commissions in order to feed their families and one other thing, we do not hide rental keys in our office.  Please remember that under certain circumstances, it is very appropriate to not place any type of lockbox on a property.  This is usually the case when marital, absent owner and other issues of security are in play.  Our policy is to even show the property for the agent, especially if the restriction places an extreme limitation on the showing agent and their ability to service their clients.  In fact, any agent can coordinate for assistance; send their client to our property and we will show the property for them (subject to listing agent availability) and still pay them their full 30% commission.  Now that really is "A Better Way To Real Estate™" and an example of a fair "Win-Win" scenario all the way around.  No more placing rentals on the MLS for 10% or less and simultaneously not placing a lockbox on the property forcing potential agents to drive across town to an office to pick up the keys for a potential 10% payday - all so that company (broker) can earn 100% of the commission by making it more costly (gas/time) and difficult for other agents to show your home, which hurts all hard working agents and makes sure that the property is all but avoided by agents, unless their clients demand to see them.  Plus on top of that - every Saturday, when you have the time to see properties, those companies and their agents are magically and absolutely "No Where To Be Found"  and we at Real Estate Agent Test Drive™ are quite frankly tired of games and extremely tired of being sick and tired of getting the run around by those brokers.  If you have a property, land or commercial property being rented or sold, just wait until 9:00 am on Saturday morning and call your supporting brokerage agent or  company.  I guarantee that your results will be both eye opening and shocking.  Please give us a chance to make things right!
