Just being in MLS helps to sell your home, but make sure you don't make these common mistakes:

1. Use a yard sign that says "By Owner". When agents see your home in MLS, they will set up a showing, comfortable that the home is listed and their commission is protected if their buyer buys the home. When agents show up for the showing and see a "by owner" yard sign, they are taught to immediately cancel the showing with their buyer and show the next house. Why? Because it could mean one of two very bad things for the agent: (1) the home is no longer in MLS, so if their buyer wants to buy it they have no guarantee of their commission being paid or (2) their buyer may see the "by owner" sign and cut out the agent in order to save the commission. These are very real fears that agents have, and this explains why "drive offs" are a common occurrence when you have the wrong sign (drive off=the agent and/or their buyer show up for the showing, see the sign, do not enter the home, and drive off).
2. Don't use a key lockbox. Agents are used to viewing homes with access by a key lockbox and the seller not being present. Why? Because this is the best way to get the buyer to buy the house. Study after study has shown that if the buyer sees the seller, they hurry through the home and feel like they are imposing on the seller's time. This occurs even if the seller is leaving, out of sight, or insists that the buyer take their time. Agents don't like it when the seller is present because they know it is a crucial distraction to their buyer focusing on the house and a comfortable, unhurried showing at the buyer's own pace. Lockboxes are the industry standard for 30+ years for a reason, and there are easy to use security procedures that have been established that have kept problems virtually unheard of for 30+ years of lockbox use.
3. Don't display a state-specific disclosure. Agents and buyers are used to examining the disclosure in every other home they view. When a home doesn't have a disclosure, they wonder: Is the seller hiding something? Or are they just unprepared/breaking the law with regard to the (often legally required) display of the disclosure.
4. Over price your home. Listings in MLS that are overpriced sit on the market without showings or interested buyers. When in doubt, get a home valuation report to help price your home and listen to what the market is telling you.
5. Allow showings only when convenient for you. It is difficult for an agent to schedule a time that works for them and their buyer (often both spouses work and children may need a sitter). When they request a showing time and are asked to change it by an hour, they often just forget about that house and look at the others on the market.
6. Refuse showing requests. Refused showing requests send a clear message that the seller is not really interested in selling the home. Allowing a showing of a home that is not clean or has something else less than ideal is not good, but it does give the buyer a chance to look past the dirt/problem and possibly buy the home. If you don't allow the showing, you can be 100% sure you won't get an offer from that buyer.
7. Hover or "take over" the showings. Study after study shows that buyers are more likely to buy a home when the seller is not their for the showing. Buyers need to think out loud with their spouse/friend and agent, freely airing feedback. A seller that insists upon being there or showing what the seller thinks are the best or "hidden" parts of the home is a huge distraction for the buyer. Getting an offer on a home requires knowing the buyer and what is important to them more so than knowing every last detail of the home. The buyer's agent wants nothing more than to write an offer, sell the home, and get their commission, so let them do their job without interference or distraction.
8. Return showing request calls slowly. Agent and buyer schedules are tight, so quick showing confirmations are important to make sure the buyers and agent can make it to the viewing. Think of the best buyers, buyers relocating from out of town. They often have a day or two to buy a home, so nearly all their showings will be last minute, short notice requests to show.

Benefits of Flat Fee Listing Service to Sellers and Realtors

The REALTOR®s MLS is far and away the best way to sell properties fast and for a good price. The Internet ranks second (ahead of other media) in value and power vs. reasonable cost.

Approximately 80% of buyers nationwide arrive via the REALTOR® Multiple Listing Service. Getting your property listed on the REALTOR®s MLS is the key to sales success. That's because thousands of real estate sales persons will be working for you. There is no real estate commission to pay unless there is a successful sale at the sales price you approve, payable at closing.

A FSBO Listing  The chance of a buyer reading your newspaper ad or driving by your house is slim. Plus, if a Real Estate Salesperson drives by your house with clients, they will normally only show your home if it's listed on the MLS, as for various reasons they prefer not showing FSBO properties. So using our MLS Flat Fee Service will give you the necessary MLS exposure to sell your home quickly and save big money at the same time. Also, most showings occur via the REALTOR®'s on-line computer system, and not drive-bys or attributable to open-houses, media or marketing ads.

Newspaper and glossy home magazine advertising is generally speaking not too effective but statistics from National REALTOR®s Assn (NRA) indicate about 12% of home buyers arrive via newspaper advertising.

Open-houses, occasionally a buyer does come via an open house, only 5% from open houses according to statistics from the National REALTOR®s Association will bring a buyer.

Very few offers are accepted as written.  Purchase contracts usually need to be negotiated and diplomacy is essential in order to keep things moving in a forward direction. 

While the bottom line (price minus seller expenses) always seems the most important element; the remaining ingredients in the contract need a thorough examination also

•·         Is the buyer pre-approved with a local lender?

•·         What personal property is included in the contract?

•·         When is closing date and how soon must you give possession?

•·         Are inspections required and what will they include?

•·         What are the terms of financing as presented and will they impact the net proceeds?

•·         What earnest monies are being given, who holds them and what happens to them in case of a   dispute?

•·         How are the taxes to be prorated?

•·         What additional contingencies need to be met?

•·         What areas are important and non-negotiable to the buyer          

•·         Will you have to make any repairs?

These are standard questions and probably only a few that need to be addressed and put in writing.

Every transaction is different and every transaction comes with its own set of questions and concerns that need to be carefully considered, negotiated and reduced to writing. Give and take is necessary ... compromise is essential.

1) Put Your Self in the Buyers Shoes.  Imagine you are the potential buyer.  What questions would you ask?  What are the positive features in your home?  What are the negative features? Be prepared to overcome these objections.  Understand that the potential buyer is looking for reasons not to buy!  Use this information to your advantage and have a counter move prepared to overcome the objection.

2) Expose Your Home to the Maximum Number of Potential Buyers.  The more people who know your property is for sale the more potential for offers.  Remember maximum exposure will create the possibility of multiple offers.  This allows you to pick the offer that is best for.  Listing in the MLS will literally expose your property to thousands of professional trying to get your property sold.

3) Maximize your homes sale potential
Appearance is critical, and it is foolish to ignore this when selling your home.  You may not be able to change your home's location or floor plan, but you can do a lot to improve its appearance. The look and feel of your home generates a greater emotional response then any other factor.

Clean like you've never cleaned before. Pick up, straighten, uncluttered, scrub, scour, and dust. Fix everything, no matter how insignificant it may appear. Present your home to get a "wow" response from buyers.

4) Allow the buyers to imagine themselves living in your home
The decision to buy a home is based on emotions, not logic. Prospective buyers want to try on your home just like they would try on a new suit of clothes. If you follow them around pointing out this improvement and that or if your decor is so different that it's difficult for a buyer to strip it away in his or her mind this makes it difficult for them to feel comfortable enough to imagine themselves owners.

5) Make it easy for Buyers to get information on your home
Buyers calling for information on your home probably are looking for information on your property. The last thing that they want to be subjected to is a game of telephone tag. Make sure your phone has a voice mail message that give the highlights of your property, also tell them to please leave a return phone number for further information or to request a private showing

6) Know your buyer
In the negotiation process, your objective is to control the pace and set the duration. Does he or she need to move quickly? Does he or she have enough money to pay your asking price? Knowing this information gives you the upper hand in the negotiation because you know how far you can push to get what you want.

7) Make sure the contract is simple
For your part as a seller, make sure you disclose everything. Smart sellers pro-actively go above and beyond the laws to disclose all known defects to their buyers by putting them in writing. If the buyer knows about a problem, he can't come back with a lawsuit later on. Make sure that all terms, costs and responsibilities are spelled out it the contract of sale and resist the temptation to diverge from the contract. For example, if the buyer requests a move-in prior to closing, just say no. Now is not the time to take any chances of the deal falling through.

8) Don't move out before you sell
Studies have shown that it is more difficult to sell a home that is vacant- it looks forlorn, forgotten, simply not appealing. It could even cost you thousands. If you move, you're also telling buyers that you have a new home, and are probably not highly motivated to sell fast. This gives them an advantage at the negotiating table.

9) Know why you're selling and keep it to yourself
The reasons behind your decision to sell affect everything from setting a price to deciding how much time and money to invest in getting your home ready for sale. What's more important to you: the money you walk away with, or the length of time your property is on the market?

Different goals dictate different strategies. However, don't reveal your motivations to anyone, or they will certainly be used against you at the negotiating table. When asked, simply say that your housing needs have changed.

10) Do your homework before setting a price
Settling on an offering price shouldn't be done lightly. Once you've set your price, you've told buyers the absolute maximum they have to pay for your home, but pricing too high is as dangerous as pricing too low.

Remember that the average buyer is looking at 10-20 homes at the same time they are considering yours. This means that they have a basis of comparison and if your home doesn't compare favorably with the others in the price range you've set you won't be taken seriously by prospects or agents.  As a result, your home will sit on the market for a long time and knowing this, new buyers on the market will think there must be something wrong with your home.

Do your homework. Find out what homes in your own and similar neighborhoods have sold for in the past six months and research what current homes list for. That's certainly how perspective buyers will assess the worth of your home.
