A client asked me how much commission to sell his property.
𝗠𝗲: 5%
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Masyado namang mataas.
𝗠𝗲: How much do you think it should be?
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: 2.5% , Laway lng nman puhunan.
𝗠𝗲: Ok, since magkakilala naman tayo pwede namang ikaw magbenta.
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Pero hindi ko alam kung paano...📷
𝗠𝗲: For 1.5% comm tuturuan kita, nakasave ka pa ng 3.5%. You'll get the knowledge na kailangan mo. 📷
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Sige, pwede na din.
𝗠𝗲: But to get started: May mga kailangan:
Laptop (50k-80k)
Facebook boost (4k-8k)
Wide angle Cam & Video Cam (20-30k)
Marketing materials (3k-5k)
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Hala. But I don't have all these. Bibili pa ba ko niyan, isang property lng nman.
𝗠𝗲: Well then for Php50k more I'll rent my stuff and account you para mkpaglist ka.
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Sige Sige
𝗠𝗲: Okay! Thursday I'm waiting for you to start doing this work.
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: But I can't on Thursday I only have time today.
𝗠𝗲: I'm sorry, but I'm only available on Thursday to teach you and lend you my stuff. Other days are busy with other clients na kasi.
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Okay! That means I'm going to have to sacrifice my Thursday and give up my other tasks.
𝗠𝗲: I forgot. To do your job yourself, you also have to pay for the non-productive factors.
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Totoo ba? Ano naman yun?
𝗠𝗲: internet connection, electricity, fuel when you have client viewing, etc.
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Ang dami ko namang babayaran at masasayang na oras bago ko mabenta yan!
𝗠𝗲: Oo nga pla, kaya mo na naman mag process ng Title Transfer diba?
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: I have no idea how to process the Title Transfer! Paano? Marami bang lalakaring requirements?
𝗠𝗲: Medyo. Need mo mag prepare ng contracts, Original and photocopies of Tax declaration, Latest RPT receipt, bill for Land & Bldg, DOAS, Certified True Copy of Title, 1904 Form, 1706 Form, 2000-OT Form, EWT for Corp,OR Business Tax, OR Transfer Tax, Tax clearance and alot of leg work going back and forth to BIR ,RD, City Hall etc.
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Grabe ang dami naman at ang hirap nyan! Gaano katagal usually magtrasnfer ng title?
𝗠𝗲: Around 2-3 months. You can hire a Professional Land Transfer Service around Php40,000 to Php50,000 for a normal transfer.
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: 1.5% sa turo, Php50k sa rent ng stuff and account, then another Php50k pa sa transfer. Konti nalang din naman ang idadagdag ikaw na pala magbenta.
****** When you pay for a job, especially services-based/handcrafted, you pay not only for the material used, but also:
- Knowledge
- Experience
- Study
- Tools
- Services
- Time to go
- Punctuality
- Accountability
- Accuracy
- Guaranteed
- Sacrifices
- Safety and security
No one can denigrate other people's work by judging prices. Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the production of a certain work you can estimate the actual cost.
