The Flat Fee MLS Listing Advantage

Apr 25th, 2010No Comments836 Views

Considering using our Flat Fee MLS Listing Service? See how it can help you be successful. Being a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) is not easy, you’ll constantly be pressed by agents to list, as they try to convince you to pay 6% commission.

Now FSBO’s can get their home, condo, or land on the SAME MLS the Realtors use. All the SAME online real estate marketing for less!

  • Using a licensed Flat Fee MLS broker (like us) can save at least 1/2 the commission
  • Instead of a 6% commission, you only pay 2% – 3% to the buyers agent
  • The only way to get your property listed in the MLS is by a licensed real estate broker
  • You can’t list any property in the MLS on your own without a broker
  • You’ll retain the right to sell “By Owner” to a buyer not represented by a broker
  • You’ll pay NO commission if you sell to a buyer with no broker
  • You set the commission rate offered to buyer’s agents at time of listing
  • The typical commission offered to buyer’s agents is 2.5% – 3%, but you can offer any amount
  • Offering the typical commission will increase your chances of agents showing your home
  • Offering less than typical commission may cause buyer’s agents to show other homes before yours
  • We don’t collect any part of the fee offered to the buyer’s broker
  • Our only fee is the flat fee paid upfront to list
  • You’ll get the same benefit as listing with a full service Realtor, but for a fraction of the cost
  • Your home will appear on Realtor.com and dozens of other major real estate websites
  • Say goodbye to the traditional 6% commission!

Working With Realtors

When a broker calls you for a showing to bring a potential buyer, you’ll know that buyer has been pre-qualified for a mortgage loan since Realtors don’t waste time showing homes to buyers who aren’t qualified to buy. You’ll have peace of mind when a Realtor calls to show your home, knowing they found it on the local MLS. Our Flat Fee MLS listing is the smartest, most cost effective way to list and sell your property.

The Bottom Line

The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is truly the key to successfully selling your home. Since the MLS holds the vast majority of real estate listings by real estate brokers and their agents, you can’t get any better exposure than by listing your home on the MLS.

All types of real estate for sale are offered; houses, townhouses, condominiums, coop’s, some commercial property, business for sale, vacant lots, land, vacation timeshares, and rental properties. There are over 900 local Multiple Listing Services located throughout the nation, and statistics show that homes listed on the MLS sell faster.
