Want the best of both worlds?

Sell or Rent BY OWNER and LIST IN THE MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE (MLS).  Why make a choice when more and more property owners are choosing a set fee MLS Service.  These owners are optimizing their benefits of saving on commissions, while maintaining the exposure obtained by real estate professionals.  With flat fee MLS services, the homeowner has the ability to market their property to millions of prospective buyers.

What is the MLS? The MLS or Multiple Listing Service is a shared computer database that lists all properties for sale and rent in a geographical area.

Conventionally, the service allows realtors to advertise and market property information on current homes, condominiums, town homes, available for purchase.

         What is Flat Fee MLS? The Flat Fee Multiple Listing Service allows the property owner the ability to market their property to millions of potential buyers and at the same time continue listing BY OWNER.

FLAT FEE VERSUS TRADITIONAL LISTING SERVICES

          What are the services offered by listing with a traditional realtor? 

A listing with a realtor requires a process that begins with the signing of a contract for a specific number of days.  From there the real estate professional will place the property in the MLS, negotiate potential offers, purchase and help close the transaction, including marketing, advising and acting as a liaison between buyer and seller.In a sales transaction, the property owner receives this service for customarily 6% commission of the sales price and a transaction fee. 

These days many homeowners are knowledgeable of the selling/renting process, as well as, the market.  This makes the idea of paying a 6% commission unacceptable.  Why pay a real estate professional such a high percentage of your sales or rental proceeds when you can utilize the flat fee MLS service.
