July 9, 2019
Rocky River Ohio Real Estate broker Dennis Rath of Dennis Rath Home Sellers is well known for saving his clients’ money, without them sacrificing anything in service. In 2019 this averaged $2,895 a client, a number that is a few steps beyond remarkable in the opinion of most with experience in the real estate world. With over 25 years of experience, and handling each client individually rather than relying on a team, Rath has been able to maintain and replicate this high-level of success in a straight forward and transparent way. In exciting news, this excellence in his field has been recognized for the second year in a row, with Rath being featured on the Cleveland Magazine Top Real Estate Agents List, which was published in the June 2019 issue. He is also the author of two popular real estate related books, “Value-Driven Approach to Sell Real Estate: A Practical Guide to…” and “The Dennis Rath Home Sellers Professional Service Approach to Selling Real Estate”.
Rath commented, “I think my success has been my unique approach to selling real estate most agents are still using a one size fits all approach but charging a commission based on the sales price. So the marketing fee ends up totally disconnected from the actual work.”
“My clients have saved on average $2,895.00 and still received full service,” he continued clearly passionate about his work. “I use a sound approach developed over my 25 year career that’s straight forward and transparent. I don’t have a team so my clients never end up feeling like a hot potato, when a client calls I return the call. A number of my clients are not as comfortable with technology so I don’t force them into it. I still make house calls. I still believe in personal service.”
According to Rath, although technology has re-invented , transformed and revolutionized the selling of a home, the majority of real estate brokerages are still operating on a one size fits all commission-only business model, that has not changed since before the fax machine. The sales culture that is fostered in some of the biggest real estate offices hearkens back to boiler room style high-pressure sales tactics using bait and switch gimmicks like “I will sell your home in 61 days or buy it.” Things that are clearly trickery and not based on delivering value to clients or win-win situations, where all involved benefit.
Rath continued, pointing out while house values along with the average commission for Real estate agents have risen over the last 10 years recent market conditions and modern technology, has actually created a situation where it takes less work and outgoing costs, to sell a home. The industry in turn has not added more value to justify the increase in fees. Client property value has gone up because of economic factors and improvements they have done themselves, not because of the real estate industry. And recognizing that Rath works hard to keep his fees at a reasonable level that recognizes these realities rather than trying to act out of greed and selfishness.
With the real estate industry reaching what may be a pivotal point, pressure is beginning to mount from all sides. Several outsiders have picked up on the perceived vulnerabilities like the Class action lawsuit Moerhl v National Association of Real estate agents (NAR), and the Department of Justice investigating antitrust issues. Forced change may be coming to the industry and it looks like the “commission only model”brokers will be hurt first. Fortunately, this won’t negatively impact the few like Dennis Rath Home Sellers who already realize a new era for real estate demands new thinking, which is exactly what he is doing.
Rath’s reviews reflect his positive approach to realty.

My family recently worked with Dennis Rath to buy a home and sell a home on the West side of Cleveland. The experience was fantastic! We were able to buy a home for my mother with the minimum of muss and fuss. Dennis managed all the details flawlessly. My mother’s home sold in less than a week at above the listing price and closed on time and as scheduled. All the advice Dennis Gave us from staging, to repairs to the appropriate list price to which buyer to pick turned out to be accurate and wise. Throughout the entire process he was diligent, organized, calm and just incredibly competent. We could not be more satisfied.
