Every New Beginning...

..comes from some other beginning's end.

Nine months ago I created 4% Real Estate in an effort to provide top notch real estate services at a reduced commission. In an effort to continue to provide exceptional service at a reduced price, I have left John L Scott Real Estate and joined the United States' first Internet Real Estate Broker, Redfin.com. As a Real Estate Agent at Redfin, I will be bringing Redfin's superior listing and buying services to Pierce County, Kitsap County, and Thurston County.

As I begin this new roll at Redfin, and as I maintain Blue Collar Agents, I am fearful that posts on this blog will be sporadic, if any at all. That being said, thank you for your readership and quality comments, they are truly appreciated. I also invite you to take a look at the Blue Collar Agents Blog, a blog about discount agents that I co-write with Franz Honer from Southern Maine.

May your real estate journies be quality, exciting, and inexpensive!

Cheers,
Trevor Smith
Redfin Real Estate Agent

Blue Collar Agents Blog

The Blue Collar Agents Blog is up and running. There is still alot of work to do, however the basics are done. I hope for this blog to be an open and lively platform about the discount real estate service industry. I expect to post something interesting and relevant within the next week.

Introducing Blue Collar Agents

Blue Collar Agents Discount Real Estate Agents

Though this site has been up for a while, I have now finished most of the work required to make it a functional directory. Therefore, I introduce to you Blue Collar Agents Discount Real Estate Agent Directory . It is my goal to make this a comprehensive nationwide directory for Discount Brokers, Discount Agents, Flat Fee Brokers, and Internet Brokers.

As I continue to work on this project you will see The Blue Collar Agents Blog integrated into the site. This blog will focus on the Discount Real Estate industry nationwide, and will include feature stories about directory listings.

Right now Agents may submit a listing for free, or can pay $19.95 for a Premium Listing. Premium Listings include banners on the home page, photo uploads for your listings, and document uploads for listing fliers, among other things. Premium listings will also be featured on the home page for a period of time. Please do not pay to have a Premium Listing right now (Unless you like giving me money!). I will be offering this service for free in the next month or so during a promo blitz. The promo will last at least a few months. For right now, submit a free listing and upgrade during the promo.

I appreciate your support and input regarding this directory. I am hopeful that this will be a valuable resource for real estate consumers.
