Why We Compete On Value Not Price At Encomax Realtors

In today’s real estate market, clients are more informed, more discerning, and more sensitive to pricing than ever before. With discount brokers and low-fee service providers aggressively promoting reduced commission structures, many buyers and sellers assume that all real estate services are the same—and that choosing the cheapest option is “smart business.”

At Encomax Realtors, we do not subscribe to that belief.

We have built our brand, our client relationships, and our results on a simple but powerful principle:

We compete on value—not on price.

This philosophy guides the way we approach every transaction, every client relationship, and every decision. It is the reason our clients consistently achieve better outcomes, smoother experiences, and stronger financial results. And it is the reason we never reduce the quality of our service simply to match a competitor’s lower fee.

Here is how and why we stand firmly behind competing on value instead of price.

1. Price Competition Requires No Skill—Value Competition Does

Anyone can lower fees. It requires no training, no experience, and no expertise.

But offering superior value requires:

  • Skill

  • Knowledge

  • Negotiation strength

  • Marketing excellence

  • Strategic planning

  • Deep local expertise

  • Consistent communication

  • Strong operational systems

Our value is built on professional capability—not on cost-cutting.

When a client hires us, they are not paying for time spent.
They’re paying for outcomes achieved.

And outcomes depend on value—not price.

2. Price Wars Always Hurt Clients In The Long Run

The real estate industry has seen this time and time again.

When agents lower fees:

  • They reduce marketing budgets.

  • They reduce exposure.

  • They reduce negotiation efforts.

  • They reduce time spent on the listing.

  • They reduce follow-up and buyer qualification.

  • They reduce service quality to justify the lower price.

In short:
Reduced price equals reduced value.

This directly affects:

  • The selling price

  • The time on market

  • The quality of buyers

  • The strength of offers

  • The financial outcome for the client

Clients may think they are “saving money” by hiring a discounted service—but in reality, they lose far more in the final sale outcome than they could ever save in fees.

We refuse to let our clients experience those losses.

3. Most Clients Don’t Actually Buy The Cheapest Product In Any Category

Only 15% of customers choose purely based on price.
The remaining 85% choose based on:

  • Quality

  • Reliability

  • Reputation

  • Service

  • Trust

We remind our clients that in most areas of life, they rarely choose the cheapest option:

  • They don’t buy the cheapest car.

  • They don’t buy the cheapest phone.

  • They don’t buy the cheapest healthcare.

  • They don’t buy the cheapest insurance.

  • They don’t buy the cheapest clothes.

  • They don’t buy the cheapest appliances.

Why? Because cheap rarely delivers long-term benefits.

Real estate—the largest financial transaction of their lives—should never be treated differently.

4. Value Protects Our Clients—Price Does Not

Our clients choose us because we protect their interests.

Value means:

  • Better negotiation strategy

  • Better marketing execution

  • Better buyer qualification

  • Better legal and documentation accuracy

  • Better due diligence

  • Better property positioning

  • Better communication and guidance

Price-cutting agents cannot offer these advantages simply because premium service requires premium effort and resources.

We choose to operate at a higher level because it protects our clients, their equity, and their future.

5. Value Leads To Higher Net Results—Not Higher Fees

We always explain this clearly:

Selling at 2–3% above market because of strong negotiation is FAR more valuable than saving 1% in fees.

Clients don’t care about “commissions.”
Clients care about net profits.

Our value-driven approach consistently ensures:

  • Higher sale prices

  • Faster sale timelines

  • Better buyer quality

  • Reduced legal risks

  • Fewer post-offer issues

  • Better contract terms

This is why we don’t cut fees.
Cutting fees means cutting the service that creates these successful outcomes.

6. We Show Clients What Value Actually Looks Like

From the very first contact, we:

  • Break down the complete real estate process

  • Show the 50–100+ activities required to close a deal

  • Explain how negotiation strength affects their net number

  • Present our marketing assets, data, and systems

  • Highlight the difference between limited service and full service

When clients see all the work involved, they instantly understand why competing on price makes no sense—and why competing on value makes all the difference.

7. We Use Simple Analogies Clients Instantly Relate To

The ebook uses powerful analogies that guide our communication as well.

Car analogy
“You can buy the cheapest car, but you chose one with safety, comfort, and reliability. That’s how real estate agents work too.”

Haircut analogy
“Anyone with scissors can cut hair. Only a professional can do it right. Cheap service leads to expensive mistakes.”

Brain surgery analogy
“For the most important decisions, no one chooses the cheapest option. Real estate is no different.”

These analogies help clients understand why value matters far more than price.

8. Competing On Value Creates Clients For Life

When clients experience:

  • Transparency

  • Professionalism

  • Strong market knowledge

  • Powerful negotiation

  • Seamless coordination

  • Excellent presentation

  • Strategic advice

…they immediately recognize the difference.

This builds trust—trust that does not disappear after the transaction.

Clients return to us, refer us, and advocate for us because they know we operate with integrity and deliver real results.

Competing on price attracts customers.
Competing on value builds long-term relationships.
