There is a misconception about listing flat fee in the MLS. The general public in Florida believes that flat fee MLS is synonymous with FSBO. This is not entirely true. When listed in the MLS, the seller’s phone number is published in the MLS so Realtors hypothetically would call the flat fee seller directly. In reality, it works that way about half of the time.
When listed flat fee in the MLS, the listing broker will insert language in the MLS under the “Realtor Remarks” section that states “call seller directly for all showings and offers.” Realtors often do not read the Realtor Remarks section and call the listing broker directly. For the past 70 years, calling the listing broker for showing instructions and questions has been real estate protocol. There are many reasons for Realtors to call the listing broker. For example, the seller is unavailable; or, the buyer’s agent would prefer speaking with the listing broker directly; or, the buyer’s agent wants a seller’s disclosure statement or a copy of the condo docs. The important point to realize about Realtors is that phone support is a very important consideration when listing your Bradenton home flat fee. ADDvantage has received 3051 calls from Florida Realtors over the past 12 months and every call was answered live by one of our MLS Administrators. Our Bradenton flat fee MLS sellers received an email every time a call was answered at ADDvantage.

About Manatee County
In 1855 the area south of the mouth of Tampa Bay became Manatee County, named after the gentle sea cow or "mermaid" that frequents the waters of Manatee County. Farmers, cattle ranchers and citrus growers cleared the land and settled in. Agricultural remains an important part of the Manatee County's economy. It ranks in nation's top ten counties in the production of watermelons and tomatoes. In its beginning, narrow roads connected Manatee County to Sarasota, Tampa and the rest of the state. All commerce came through Tampa with its deep water port until Port Manatee was built making it the closest U.S. port to the Panama Canal. The Sunshine Skyway Bridge now connects Manatee County to St. Petersburg and Interstate 75 connects it through Tampa to the rest of the state.

Client Testimonials from Sellers in Manatee county, FL
I highly recommend the ADDvantage team. We sold our home in just 6 weeks and every step of the way they provided prompt, courteous, and professional support. With the current market conditions it was a no-brainer to go with their flat fee listing and put seller agent costs back into our own pockets. We saved big and sold our home fast. Thanks ADDvantage!

Dear ADDvantage,
Thank you for being so persistent in your attempt to fix my IDX problem with the malfunctioning MLS data-feed. I am happy it could be resolved and you should be rewarded for providing such a high level of customer service.
-Denis C. Bradenton, FL
In the difficult real estate market of 2006-07, Addvantage was a key, professional partner in making the sale!
We initially listed our home with another on-line listing service and were immediately disappointed with their errors and routine failure to communicate. After that bad experience, we hired a Realtor® with a national firm. She was very professional and did her best, but the activity was the same as we experienced with the listing service - lots of lookers, but no offers.
We decided to try the FSBO approach with another listing service and I'm very glad that we chose Addvantage. I live in Bradenton Sarasota area and found ADDvantage to be a professional MLS flat fee company and always responsive to our questions. We eventually settled for a lower price, but the savings associated with eliminating the 3% seller's agent commission enabled us to make the sale. Thanks Addvantage!
