Amanda’s Story: We knew that selling our home privately would be challenging, but we wanted to avoid all of the daunting and staggering costs of listing with an agent. Going the private route, we needed the exposure of MLS and REALTOR.ca because it’s the go to place where everyone looks when house hunting; both agents and the public buyers alike. I thought, “how would we get our listing on MLS without actually listing with an agent?” Impossible right? No! Air Realty was our answer.  For a very low monthly fee, we had our listing placed on MLS. This also put us directly into the driver’s seat in terms of the commission an agent would receive if they brought in buyers. What we really loved about Air Realty was that it gave our listing exposure on MLS, offered all agents the opportunity to show our home, AND it also allowed us to continue to sell privately if a buyer didn’t have an agent! This is something you cannot do when you list with an agent! This really brought the experience to the next level.  With the help of the staff at Air Realty (who were always available and happy to answer any questions), our home was visible to millions. This led to multiple viewings and the quick sale of our home, with a professional agent at less than half the cost.  I strongly believe this is the future of real estate sales! Air Realty truly focused on keeping the profit of my home, in my control, and in my pocket. As a single income family, we consider every dollar extremely valuable. Air Realty was, and will continue to be, our only choice for selling properties. I strongly recommend it to anyone selling a property of any kind. I tell everyone I know who’s looking to list their property, (and wants to keep their money in their pockets), to go with Air Realty!  – Amanda
