Chris Rice began SellForFlatFee.com to give sellers a full service real estate option for a fraction of the cost. There was a time when the traditional 5-6% commission model made sense. Today however, the process of selling a home has changed and homeowners deserve a more affordable option.
Before beginning SellForFlatFee.com, Chris specialized in selling the Harveston Lake community of Temecula. He performed all of the traditional marketing activities used by many other successful real estate agents. This included delivering community newsletters to 1600 homes, bi-annual neighborhood garage sales, running the community website and Facebook page, sponsoring local events and activities, etc. This marketing created a reputation for Chris as the "local neighborhood expert" allowing him to sell dozens of homes in the area. This style of marketing is very time consuming, expensive, and is part of what justifies a commission of 5-6%. Take all of this away and it becomes possible to charge a much more reasonable commission fee.
Chris understands that homeowners have a lot of options when choosing a Broker to sell their homes. Not only that, but he is not the first to offer a discount or flat fee. He also understands that most of the companies offering affordable options also have a catch. Some offer a discount in exchange for the home seller performing a lot of the work. Others don't list your home on the MLS and your savings rely on the ability to find a buyer who is unrepresented by an agent. There are so many different models offered, each typically with a catch. Who has the time or industry knowledge to research these companies to uncover what's missing from their offering? Chris offers a full service real estate experience with absolutely no difference except for the cost. We feel that it's about time.

I would highly recommend agent Chris Rice; Chris represented me as a seller. Chris knows the market and was a source of knowledge. Chris was knowledgeable on how to best protect me and my interests as the seller. On top of his professionalism as an agent, Chris is a kind, trustworthy individual. Thank you Chris for selling our home.
We would like to recognize Chris Rice on a job well done for the sale of our home in California. I was a bit apprehensive being a Realtor myself in California, but Chris addressed any concerns and streamed-lined the process while working tirelessly selling our home. He earned his fee many times over going over and above my expectations. Why would you pay more for a traditional agent when Chris Rice is ready, willing and able to handle all of your real estate needs. Thanks Chris for your tenacity and steadfastness! Texas is Awesome, Great To Be Home!
Our realtor, Chris Rice, did a great job. He was realistic on his numbers and very committed to our goals. And, he sold our home in about 10 days!
He is very knowledgeable and doesn't mind rolling up his sleeves to help out. Chris was always there to answer all my questions (which was tons). His recommendations on minor improvements to get the most out of my sell really paid off. I am not going to lie he is one heck of a funny guy as well. One day you will rule the world!
Listing with us saves you about $22,000 as we charge only a flat fee of $7900.
