A By Owner MLS listing is the perfect way to sell for sale by owner to get more exposure
By owners typically do best when selling in a seller's market because buyers are not loyal to anyone except finding a home to buy. In a buyer's market, especially the one we are in now, things are complicated with short sales, bank-owned and over-priced listings. Realtors are more important now than ever.
Because of this, 86% of homes sold are sold by Realtors. If you rely just on a for sale by owner sign in your yard with the comment ‘brokers welcomed’, you are missing 98% of all Realtors in your city.
A by owner MLS listing allows you to reach all the local Realtors. But, with this type of listing, you offer just the buyer's agents a commission. This saves ½ of the cost of selling a home.
As well, a by owner MLS listing also permits the seller to sell the home ‘by owner’ and not pay any commission at all.
America has smelled the coffee and there is no stopping the rush to save money. Besides saving 50% in commission or possibly 100% if you sell yourself, the service and marketing can be superior to a full-service MLS listing.
