About

The process of buying and selling Real Estate has evolved. Technology has brought together buyers and sellers online and Realtors are working smarter, not harder. By leveraging technology, agents are now able to sell a home without the physical legwork of going door-to-door. Despite the evolution that reduces the agent’s workload, the fee structure for mainstream brokerages seems to be stuck in the dark ages. Charging at least 5%, mainstream brokerages charge the agents ridiculous franchise fees which are ultimately passed on to you – the consumer.

Welcome to Bootstrapped LLC – 1% Listings and à la carte menu of services. We are a For Sale By Owner-friendly real estate company designed to help you avoid paying another brokerage’s franchise fee.

3 Ways We are Different

List your home for 1% or $1000 – whichever is greater*
à la carte menu – only pay for what you need
Created to help you keep more of your equity

Both Properties have now sold, we just started our next project and I will definitely continue to work with Aimee. Aimee is well connected with both buyers and sellers in the area and branches out all around South Carolina. From my perspective of a seller, she is not just bringing in local buyers, she is connecting with out of state buyers which increases my chances at a very quick sale. She knows the market value and is my go-to person to determine what price is right in which areas. She is the person you want to work with whether you are a buyer or a seller.

She has been very crucial to buying and selling my homes. I have used a few agents before to collaborate with my flipping business and with the exception of one, everyone lacked communication skills. That is what sets Aimee apart from the rest. As a buyer and seller, you want to be informed about what's going on with your house regarding the market. Who is your competition? What is the competition doing to sell their house? What can I do to sell my house faster and before my competition? She is not only knowledgeable about the market, but she also communicates fast. If there is a price drop in the competition, you can expect Aimee to call you and let you know. Just to give you an example, when there hurricane Matthew rolled around in Sumter, I received a phone call from Aimee the next day to let me know that my houses were ok. She had made it my houses before me! You don't get that with any other agent. You'll be lucky if most agents visit your house once a month. As an investor, communication matters as much as anything else and I am glad I finally found somebody that understands that."
