Flat Fee MLS Listing Service ADDvantage® at your service!
By owners are finding that a reliable flat fee MLS listing service can help them sell faster and for a higher amount.
Traditionally, by owners are not particularly ‘Realtor friendly’ sellers. They would rather control the selling process and not pay 6%. Now, there is a new classification for ‘by owners’ called ‘limited service’. This new MLS listing allows the by owner to list in the MLS without paying 6%.
If control is an important factor, a flat fee MLS listing service allows the by owner to control everything about their listing from canceling the listing at any time with no fee or penalty, changing price, printing brochures, changing the offered buyer's agent commission and viewing how many people have ‘viewed’ your listing online.
In today's market where every penny counts, selling by owner seems smart. But, Realtors control 86% of all homes sales so a partnership between the ‘Realtors’ and the ‘by owners’ can exist peacefully and economically…It's called flat fee MLS listing.
This new listing type allows the by owner to offer just a commission to the buyer's agent by-passing the need for a full-service listing agent.
Flat fee MLS listing can be done 100% online. The by owner MLS seller sets the buyer's agent commission, uploads pictures, shows the home, receives the offers and deals directly with the Realtor, just as they would do if listed ‘for sale by owner’.
The big advantage for the ‘for sale by owner’ is they now can offer a commission just to a local buyer's agent (Realtors). And, once listed in the MLS, the by owner is also listed on Realtor.com, the worlds largest real estate website!!
Marketing is the most important single ingredient for getting a home sold and that is where a flat fee MLS listing excels. All the local Realtors will see your listing every time they search for a home for their buyers.
Beside have this huge advantage, your listing will appear on other sites such as Realtor.com, Homes.com, Bargainnetwork, MSN, AOL, Yahoo, and many more.
