This\ngreat benefit is intended to help customers preserve their family wealth and\nsave them thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zero is the first &nbsp;and only real estate company in Panama that\ncan sell a house without the need to charge the client a 5% commission. The\nlatter comes from a business model created more than 50 years ago, where a traditional real estate\nbr\u00f3ker would keep $20,000 (5% commission) when selling a property of\n$40,000.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Up to $10,000\nin Savings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Zero they think that things\ncan be done with a business model where clients receive exceptional service at\na third of the cost, with up to 70% savings in commission payments.

Today everything is faster, cheaper and more\nconvenient for people. Sammy Wolcovinsky emphasizes that society is in the age\nof a more and better informed customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this entrepreneur says that the real estate\nsector, on the contrary, remains stuck in a high-cost business model that\nresists change. In the old days, the work a real estate broker needed to do to\nsell a house was much more complex and time consuming. Today, sites like Google\nand various real estate portals give home buyers easy access to information\nabout all the houses for sale on the market. In fact, 90% of buyers today visit\none of these sites to find their new home. Due to this change, the cost to\nadvertise a property and the work involved in promoting it has been drastically\nreduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This historical background allowed Sammy Wolcovinsky to\nunderstand that there was a better way to sell, more efficient and economical.\nA fair model for both parties at a third of the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"950\" height=\"1350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thevisitorpanama.info\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Nueva.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4683\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Service\nOffered by Zero<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This enterprise offers each\nclient advice adapted to their needs so that they do not have to worry during\nthe process of buying or selling their property.
