Clopton's brokerage has over 31 years experience introducing money saving options.
Our most recent equity-saving option is the 2%* TOTAL COMMISSION plan.
This plan is SIMPLE, no gimmicks. You list your home in the HAR MLS through Clopton Realty for a 1.5% Listing commission payable to Clopton Realty plus you offer all Houston Area Brokers a 3% Sales Commission if they find the buyer for your home. If another Broker finds the Buyer your total commission cost is 4.5% (1.5% to Clopton Realty and 3% to the cooperating Broker who found the Buyer), that is the MAXIMUM cost to sell your home. If Clopton Realty procures the buyer too, then we can agree to *REDUCE the sales commission to only 1/2% INSTEAD of 3% if you agree to show the property to the Clopton Realty buyer prospects (Clopton Realty will make the appointment, you just open the door). In that case, your TOTAL COST to list and sell is just 2% of the sale price payable to Clopton Realty at closing.
This is the BEST full service deal available in the Houston Area, call us today at (713) 722-8066 and let us put our team to work selling your home.

What Sells a House?
Philadelphia Inquirer (12/20/98) P. R1 (Heavens, Alan J.)

When remodeling to sell a home, housing market observers say homeowners must realize that an addition made in one region of the country may not be popular with consumers in other areas. For instance, a new study by Remodeling and Realtor magazines indicates that homeowners in the Philadelphia metropolitan area will see a return of $1.04 on a replacement window investment for every dollar spent on the project, if the home is sold within a year after work has been completed. In comparison, a homeowner in Albany, N.Y., who made the same investment can only expect to recoup 30 cents for every dollar on replacement windows if the home is sold a year after the project. This is true even within the neighborhoods of a market. "Aluminum or vinyl replacement windows would probably detract from Victorian-era houses in Mount Airy and Chestnut Hill, while in neighborhoods with newer houses, they truly could add value to the house," noted Louise Johnston, a Realtor with Philadelphia area firm Fox & Roach Realtors. At the same time, housing market observers say homeowners must keep in mind that what they think may be an important addition may not be looked at the same way by the next person. Other factors to consider when remodeling to sell include market conditions, climate, and the overall design of the home.

Why Spring Is the Best Time to List Your Home for Sale
Chicago Tribune (04/05/97) P. 4-2 (Bruss, Robert)

It's common knowledge that the spring months (April through June) are the best time for sellers to list their homes. Columnist Robert Bruss offers several tips on how to be successful in the intensely competitive market. First, he advises, interview at least three realty agents before deciding who will best represent your home. Each agent will give a potential client a comparative market analysis to help estimate a home's market value. Checking client references is also important before choosing an agent. Also important, Bruss says, is gaining an understanding of listing choices. More than 75 percent of home sales involve real estate agents. Options include open listing, in which any agent is eligible to bring an acceptable purchase offer for a sales commission; exclusive agency listing, in which the home seller lists with one agent (if the seller finds a buyer, though, no commission is owed); exclusive right to sell listing, in which the listing/selling agent is owed a full commission no matter who sells the home; multiple listing, in which the home listing is submitted to the local multiple listing service (or MLS) for distribution to all member realty agents; and net listing, in which the agent earns any amount received above the seller's net price.
