If you’re looking to sell your home for top dollar while saving thousands in commissions, Jeff Thomsen is a clear choice. Offering full-service real estate services, he charges less in fees, helping his clients keep more of their hard-earned equity.

Thomsen started his career in real estate while working as a teacher and school administrator in Denver. He began to remodel houses in his spare time and enjoyed designing spaces, updating homes, and selling them for a profit. But he grew frustrated paying 5 percent to 6 percent in commissions and additional miscellaneous fees. “I thought this was outrageous,” he says, “and it was cutting into my profits.”.

He figured there must be a better way and jumped into real estate full-time. Thomsen made the move to Tampa Bay to shake things up in the real estate industry.

“High commissions and extra junk fees have been the mainstay for too long,” he says. “I offer a better model – full service for less. My clients pay a total of 4 percent commission to sell their home, and only 3 percent if I find the buyer myself. I never charge any extra fees, either. Most clients save $10,000 to $20,000, if not more, and I love that. My lower fees make sellers happy and also generate a lot of referral business, so it’s a win-win.”

Clients can be assured they will get the best service possible from beginning to end. “I am their one point of contact because I never hand them off to an assistant,” Thomsen says. Services include professional photos, top-notch marketing including social media, inclusion in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), strong negotiating, regular communication, open houses, and even reaching out to neighbors to personally find a buyer. “It’s all included,” he says.

As a real estate investor himself, Thomsen still flips houses and manages his own short-term rentals. This experience gives him helpful insights into working with investor clients as well as other buyers and sellers. He also has a long list of great service providers such as local banks, home inspectors, repair people and more.

Giving Back to the Community

Thomsen commits to contribute at least 10 percent of his earnings to charity. “I’m passionate about helping children who lack support at home, so I sponsor two kids through Compassion International and also mentor a youth through Big Brothers Big Sisters. I’m thrilled to donate to these organizations as well as to local churches.” As a veteran, he also serves as a chaplain in the Air Force Reserve.

Great Service for a Lower Price

One of many happy clients, Eric O. reports, “I found Jeff via a newspaper ad and he was EXCELLENT. He was responsive, knew the market, got it listed at the correct price, and got it sold with no problems. He offers great service but doesn’t charge as much as “traditional” agents who I think charge too much. You’ll save a lot of money and get great service as well.“

“I provide the highest level of service and marketing to all of my clients, no matter what the price point,” Thomsen says. “My listings get excellent market exposure and often sell over asking price with multiple offers. Recent clients were thrilled that they were able to save over $30,000 in commissions with me while still getting over their asking price.”
