Our Philosophy
cityservice represents a fresh, new, common sense approach in the real estate industry that provides clients with full, innovative real estate services at a fraction of traditional fees.

The cityservice smart and new perspective on real estate is long overdue in an industry has remained largely unchanged for many years. Realtor commission percentages have remained constant even though home prices have escalated tremendously. The result: in many markets where home prices have doubled in the last five years, real estate sales commissions are twice the dollar amount they were for selling the same house five years before! For example, we have seen appreciation in many real estate markets average 20% a year for the last 5 or more years. In the traditional real estate arena with static commission rates, this translates into a 20% per year pay raise (a 100% increase over 5 years) for doing the same job. Real estate sellers have been the most generous employers in the country!

According to their own statistics, the National Association of Realtors has found that 84% of agents entering real estate have no prior sales or marketing experience yet most traditional real estate agents spend as much money, if not more, marketing themselves - not your home. The tremendous costs of these "personal marketing" campaigns simply drives up costs for you - the client - while providing little or no value to the actual marketing of your home. cityservice only spends money marketing homes - not agents. Our clients get first class service at a much lower cost. Our fee and service, in turn, generates our client base. A simple yet unique approach that is long overdue in the real estate industry.

Recent articles in The Wall Street Journal ("Realtor Racket"), Newsweek ("Cutting the Commissions"), and the Philadelphia Inquirer ("Realtors System Due For An Overhaul"), point out that despite the same new technology and internet information that has transformed other industries and created large savings for consumers - think mortgage brokers, stock brokers, travel agencies -the real estate industry still operates much as it had since the 1960's & 1970's with it's traditional 5%, 6%, and 7% fee structure.

As long as Realtors controlled much of the industry information there was hardly any incentive to change fees. Today, however, with the advent of readily available real estate information on the internet, a consumer led real estate revolution is finally in the offing. A revolution that demands full service, excellence in marketing, implementation of cutting edge technology, contractual expertise, and fair commissions.

The typical knee-jerk reaction of traditional offices is to wave off progressive real estate companies like cityservice by warning real estate consumers that cityservice can not possibly offer the same level and quality of service that a traditional office offers. We believe they are correct. We believe we actually offer more and are better tuned in to today's' savvy, sophisticated buyers and sellers. Real estate consumers can easily make their own decision by simply comparing services. So go ahead a take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with cityservice by browsing this website.
