Are you searching for your dream home, and in the market for a realtor? The power is in your hands with this website where realtors compete for your business. You end up saving money. 

That website is called Upnest.com. ABC15 spoke with Paul who used the site to sell his house in St. Louis and buy his home which is now in Avondale.

So, how does it work?

It's as simple as telling the site what you want, and you'll get personalized quotes that include commission discounts, rebates, and a full list of services provided like professional photography, single property website, postcards and flyers, landscaping, staging, advertising on Zillow or Trulia or a video tour. They can also provide a suggested sales price on the listing. Once you narrow down your favorite propositions, compare or interview them you make your selection and get the process started!

The best part is it's free! The second best part is you don't have to enter much personal information at all, like your cell phone number.

Plus, the competition of realtors lowering commission below the national average of 6 percent is guaranteed to save you cold, hard cash. Paul was able to save nearly $5,000 total in the process of selling in another state and buying in our state through the website. We also heard of a woman named Paola who saved nearly $5,000 in commission costs for selling her home here in Arizona alone. Impressive.
