NEW REAL ESTATE COMPANY PAYS 10 PERCENT COMMISSIONS IN A MARKET THAT’S GONE TO THE DOGS!

October 27, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
PALM BEACH, FL – Real estate agents and brokers can now earn an unprecedented 10 percent commission on every home they sell, without co-broking or splitting commissions with their agencies. A new program rolled out this week by Small Luxury Homes, Inc., parent company of Doggie Mansions and Kiddie Mansions based in Palm Beach, FL, will pay a flat 10 percent commission to brokers or agents who bring them a buyer. Simply sell a luxury Doggie or Kiddie Mansion to an existing client and a commission check for 10 percent of the total sales price will be sent upon closing (delivery of the home).

“We know that in many areas the market has gone to the dogs and the good news for realtors is, so have we,” says Donald Gorbach, Doggie Mansion’s co-founder and “Top Dog”. “We’ve actually found a way for realtors to earn thousands of dollars in this market by selling our homes to their existing clients who own dogs and/or have kids. As a veteran realtor myself, I know how tough it can be to make money in a down market, especially when the competition is fierce, commissions are falling, and there are more discount brokers than ever before. As far as I know, we are the ONLY company out there offering 10 percent commissions!”

Priced from $10,500 to $100,000 based on size, style, level of customization and options/amenities chosen (just like with a real house), Doggie Mansions and Kiddie Mansions are hand-crafted to compliment the style of any owner’s home, be it a Spanish/Mediterranean estate, traditional Tudor, Southwestern casita, New England colonial, Hamptons or Key West beach house, country farm house, modern/contemporary model or a unique one-of-a-kind look. Licensed Doggie and Kiddie Mansion real estate agents have the opportunity to promote their unique “listings” in their own local market. Doing so will allow them to enjoy thousands of extra dollars annually in sales of this extremely unique, high-quality product that is sure to increase any property’s value.

Homes are built by a team of luxury home builders in the company’s West Palm Beach “Dog Pound” manufacturing facility, and interiors are designed by Kari Roundy of Boca Raton, Fla.-based Atmospheres. Standard home size is 48-square feet, although this can be modified depending on the size of the owner’s lot and how many children and dogs they would like the mini-mansion to comfortably accommodate.

Custom options discussed with the client include the home’s exterior colors, the interior paint style (faux finishing, high gloss, Venetian plaster), the style of furnishings and decor (modern and hip or more traditional), the flooring (marble, stone, slate, tile or wood), window treatments, and whether they'd like to add flat-screen TVs and DVD players continuously running Benji or other canine/kiddie favorites. Of course, the walls are adorned with pet- or kid-friendly artwork, the doormat says "Wipe Your Paws", silk plants ensure no messy spills, carpets are treated for easy clean-ups and each home comes with a custom basket of toys and stylish food, water, and treat dishes. Pint-sized couches, chairs, tables, and area rugs perfectly suit both pups and kids.

Clients who would prefer a combo Doggie Mansion/Child's Playhouse can opt for this dual-purpose estate. All homes are built using the finest materials, for either indoor or outdoor use, and are priced based on the size of the mansion and the options chosen (just like with real homes).

Doggie and Kiddie Mansions take about six to eight weeks to build; actual price and delivery time will depend on the size of the home and the options chosen. Resales are available and since every home is custom-built, the “real estates for man’s best friend” can only be expected to appreciate in value!
