Meet the Pioneer of Online Flat Fee Real Estate

Lawrence Bunnell is a consumer’s advocate

In 1997, IHS’s broker began with the concept of a national Online real estate firm offering low, flat-fee real estate services to consumers. The idea originated in response to 1) the growing demand from home sellers for the marketing exposure provided by the REALTOR® Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system 2) downward pressure on the real estate commission brought on by rising home prices, and 3) the ability to cost efficiently market properties to a national audience made possible by the advent of the Internet. By taking advantage of the technology to better service customers, centralizing real estate listing processes and eliminating the need for a large cadre’ of real estate agents along with "bricks and mortar" office locations, IHS Realty is able to provide home buying and selling services to consumers at a tremendous cost savings.

Lawrence Bunnell is the man behind the company. He has been been a licensed REALTOR since 1984. A licensed real estate broker in several states, Bunnell holds a bachelors degree in Political Science and a post-baccalaureate degree in Information Systems.
